Halleluiah!! Super Sunday is over ... helmets, shoulder pads, etc. packed away until next year. Did I say PACKED?? Guess at least most Mammossers and two Drahoks will be happy until next season ... then??
Jason & Jen arrived late Saturday eve. Watched Amy Sedaris' old TV series episodes (Strangers with Candy) while sipping beer and wine accompanied by snacks ... plans for tomorrow materializing.
Sunday - daybreak - Jen wandering around trying to be nonchalant about her eagerness to soak up all things sun. (Caught her texting family & friends, taunting them about 80-degree weather vs. additional snow. Know just how she feels!) Journeyed to church with Paul and doggies. Jen & Jason were already out surveying various parts of the neighborhood. Larry preparing what turned out to be a very delicious brunch with cups of fruit parfait, fahitas, croissants and cold, delicious mimmosas. Outside, of course, with neighbors joining us. Have to plan around "clock-watching" today; 'tis Super Bowl Sunday, you know ...
Decided to don our beach apparel and go to Hollywood Beach - went there last week with Jonferes - because it's alot closer than South Beach and not as crowded. Sun and sand most of the afternoon, with a side trip for liquid refreshment ... O'Malley's Ocean Pub ...live music, ocean breezes, beau coup laughter (that's French, Karen), and a glance at the clock ... time to exit!!
With an hour and a half to spare, Jen & Jason made a trip to the grocers to survey the local tidbits. Jen (who is KNOWN for her carmelized onions) began a pear, carmelized onion and goat cheese pizza ... absolutely delicious! All food home prepared - pepperoni pizza, two humus spreads with pita triangles and a great seafood salad brought in by, yes, the gals "across the yard". Time for the game ...
With choice of beer, wine, sodas, pina colodas or margueritas, we settled in for the Packers vs. Steelers game. (Priest at church, by the way, let it be known that the main office for his mission was in Racine, Wi and his fellow priests would deport him if he even suggested voting for the Steelers!) (Much muttering amongst church attendees as Steeler fans began voicing their choice out loud - hillarious!)
Good game ... sigh of relief as Steelers "snuck up" on the Pack and they, in turn, held that team back ... the Lombardi winning credo poster I gave Jay for Christmas must have been a good luck charm.
Wish you ALL could be here enjoying this wonderful weather!! We are going somewhere soon ... they (Larry and the "Js") are discussing possibilities ... Paul is attending a meeting at Biscayne Bay so we will meet up with him near the end of his worktime ... Jason is DYING for fresh oysters ... if he doesn't get some soon, he just might mutiny! Can't have that, so we will go in search and record our findings.
Lots of picture-taking ... perhaps some will appear - someplace, sometime.
Until our plans evolve, I will leave you in your snowdrifts enjoying your visions of a vacation in Florida!!
