Super Bowl

I do love football. My favorite is college especially SEC. I keep up with the NFL when I am watching Sportcenter in the mornings. I like the personal stories that come up and for the super bowl....the commercials.

Personal stories- There are 9 football players in the Super Bowl with ties to the state of Alabama. Justin Tuck number 91 for the Giants and Adalius Thomas number 96 for the Patriots went to the same high school at Central High School of Coosa County. And they are cousins. Each team has an AUBURN player. Heath Evans for the Patriots and Reggis Torbor for the Giants.

A commercial to look for is for Shaquille O'Neal for Glaceau Vitaminwater. He will appear as a jockey. For those that don't know Shaquille, he is 7-1 and weighs 321. He says that he actually rides the horse.

If you miss any commercials you can see them at usatoday after the game.

I think now I am for the Giants because in my humble opinion as I watch the sports news one would think only one team is playing in the super bowl and that is the Patriots. I love being for the underdog.

Manhunt part II

We had our bookclub meeting last night. We discussed Manhunt by James Swanson. I love to hear what everyone else thought about the book. Here are some thoughts from last night.

Often in the book it is the good looks of Booth are mentioned. Betty said that we should picture our favorite Hollywood star* as Booth. The author was born on February 12- Lincoln's birthday. How news travels today and how news traveled then. What if Booth had made it to the 'deep south' could he have escaped.

There is a movie in production. Johnny Depp* is playing Booth. For more info on the movie and about the author Go here

To God be the Glory

I am not sure how many years ago we 'found' Rick and Bubba. They are comedians. They are very Southern, Right-winged,and Bible-believing. They had a tv show for awhile and the tapes I have of it are some of our favorites. They are on the radio and the Internet now. The only caveat I have for their cd's is they talk about EVERYTHING, so you may want to preview one before you give it to a young person or your grandmother.

About two weeks ago Rick's two year old son drowned in the family pool. When Rick spoke at the funeral someone recorded it and put it on youtube. At one time it had the fourth most hits. It is a wonderful talk. Get your kleenex ready and gather the loved ones around and listen Here

If you can't get my link to work you can go to youtube and type in Rick Burgess or go to rickandbubba.com

For Charles and Frances

Here is my plant that my cousin , Vicki gave me for Christmas. It is just beautiful

Baby, It's cold outside!

When I took that last picture of the window I realized what all I was seeing and I wanted you to see it too. Look at the Temperture. Notice the stalactites hanging off the deck. I know you are thinking that it is just ice but I like the word stalactite. Kaitlin and Marisa got home early. Their classes were cancelled. Kaitlin had to stop on the way home because the ice froze her wipers to the windshield and she needed them. Another wave is headed this way soon. We have power and that makes me happy.

What do you see when you look out your windows?

TaDa...my last new window was installed yesterday. It is beautiful. I can highly recommend The Hanke Brothers. They were very profession and polite. We are enjoying our view.

Can't have too many shoes

These are my new crocs. I ordered them online. They are wonderful.
