Hey Sweetie!
Woke up to a bit of rain, got my morning chores done, did a little sewing job on Lola’s bed, then mostly read and relaxed today until the afternoon. After the animals were fed dinner, I joined Glenn and Dena and their friends Terry and Belinda for noshes and the Super Bowl on the outside TV on Glenn’s motorhome. You remember that wood box that had two bottles of wine in it, that sat on the shelf behind our bar at home in Tennessee forever? Those were a gift from the bank I worked at back in about 1982, and for whatever reason, we never got around to opening them. I figured they turned to vinegar by now, and since I’m trying to get rid of as much clutter and weight as I can, I decided to finally open one today! The cork fell apart, but I did manage to get most of it out and strained it. Believe it or not, it hadn’t actually turned! It had a bit of an edge on it, like most red wines, so I put a little lemon-lime in there just to sweeten it up a bit, and managed to drink about half the bottle. I pulled out the cork and vacuum system that I found in the cupboard above the laundry the other day, and used that to keep it “fresh” after I opened it. Managed to down about half a bottle during the evening, so at least I’m partway there to getting rid of it. It’s not going to help my diet, but neither will all the noshes I ate over at the party, though I did keep it to meat for the protein, no carb snacks at all. Anyway, the game is unexpectedly one-sided, and after the last touchdown by Tampa (with Tom Brady quarterbacking!), I decided to come back and shower and get ready for bed. This is the first time in the 55 year Super Bowl history that a team has played on their home field. Hard to believe it took this long! Looks like they’re going to win it, too, which isn’t surprising with the home field advantage. Worst half-time show I’ve ever seen, though, although admittedly we haven’t been paying much attention to football in recent years. Anyway, almost time for bed, so good night, darlin’! Love you!
