Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

I was suppose to hibernate but Saturday we went out to dinner with a family friend, and then I had to drop off some of my books at a local bookstore. I did hibernate until then and some on Sunday.

You haven’t decided who you will root for? I’ll tell you who...the Ravens! I rooted for your Seahawks. hehe

I was surprised, cause I apparently hadn’t paid attention before, to learn the coaches were brothers. This will surely make for an interesting game.

I heard an interview with a man who studies the placement of siblings, like who’s first child, second, last? and how they do in life...the question was who was their mother to root for? or how to handle the son that lost the game...he said, “if I were the mother I’d go to the field and wait for the one who came to be consoled” or something like that...LOL

I’m with him, I’d congratulate the one and comfort the other. I’m sure in this football family there won’t be a need to do much of that.

We’re having a rainy morning but will clear and warm up later.

Have a sunnylicious Monday!

Yup, 70 now and headed for almost 80 later. I’ll go fishing and see if the crappie are biting.

Had a great weekend. Got into the 70's yesterday. Took Bo out to the lake. Had a great time.

May get some rain tonight and tomorrow. Crossing our fingers.

Off the top of my head....yes, another FReeper was involved in building a playground in Iraq. I can’t remember where, but the picture turns up every now and then. He is on a teeter totter with an Iraqi child. I will try to look for the picture when I can. I think his name was Kristian. Can’t drag up his FReeper name.

Caught four keepers. Best white freshwater fish there is and the cats loved the “snacks” they got while I was getting dinner ready for tonight.

Good evening, Connie!

Still raining here but the temps are now in the high 30's so the ice is gone from the roads.

Good evening, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...pretty toasty in your neck of the woods.

It’s warming up here!

It’s now above zero. LOL! Possible snow tonight.
