Fools' Spring is Over

 It is finally Friday…it just seemed like a LONG week. I am not that sure why that is😦 We survived it. 


On Sunday, the girls had a softball Camp. It seems like they learned quite a bit from instructors that have played in college or are currently coaching. I think that it was money well spent for the girls to learn for a great group of ladies.


It seems that Fools' Spring is over though. Yesterday we had a pretty big snowstorm. Before yesterday we had very little snow, but now we have piles of snow once again. We received a good foot or more in the last couple of days. With the weather and road conditions, I did not go to work yesterday. With the time that I go to work the roads are usually not plowed very well if at all. 


All the kids even played outside in the snow yesterday. Because sometimes it is a chore to get them outside. They would rather veg in the house instead of enjoying the weather that God gives us, especially after a snowstorm. A snowstorm offers a blank slate and restart.

Super Bowl Thoughts and More

 My parents decided to retire a couple of weeks ago from their jobs together. So we had a retirement dinner for them last Sunday. It was nice to visit my other siblings considering that I do not see them all that often. As hard as they worked for myself and siblings, My parents sure earned a nice retirement and NO MORE ALARM clock for them. Hope they enjoy their retired life.

 The Super Bowl was pretty decent. It had no shortage of storylines: “The Kelce Bros facing off vs each other”, “Andy Reid playing against his old team”, “Mahomes and Chiefs going for their 2 SB in 4 years'. 


The Eagles and the Chiefs were a battle back and forth for much of the game. If it was not for Jalen Hurts the Eagles would not have been in this game whatsoever. Hurts threw for 304 1TD and ran for 70 yds and 3 more TDs. Even though the Eagles lost, Hurts should have been the MVP. There was no player more valuable than he was that night. 


Mahomes, the Chiefs QB, had 182 yards through the air and 3 TD passes. 


The game came down to a questionable defensive holding call on the Eagles to seal the deal for the Chiefs. The refs were letting them play all night but to call it right there….Come on, man. The Chiefs nailed a 27 yd FG with 11 seconds left. It was a good game but marred with ref interference for the Chiefs…AGAIN. It was just entertainment anymore…more like WWE. The NFL knows who they want to win the marquee games….just sayin.


We had our customary Super Bowl spread for the night for Jenn and I and minions. We have a SB party every year. It was good and we had fun at our little party as well. You have to have little weenies wrapped bacon. We also had ribs, pickles and ham rolls.

Another season came and went.
