Fanning the flames....

....of my life. We built a small fire pit in the back yard to have a bonfire and cook out for the Super Bowl, and OMG was it a hit. Not like we haven't always had a fire pit in our back yard...but its new for us here. So we cleaned up the winter dog crap, and crewed up bones, and built our fire pit. And as I sat out there laughing, with a glass of wine, and my kids swinging with the neighbors kids, I found myself once again THANKFUL for my life.

So although out teams weren't playing on Sunday we laughed, watched some of the Super Bowl. We aren't NY Giants fans, but we did root for them...because it has been the practice here over the years to root for the underdog UNLESS your team is playing LOL. And we all know NY was the underdog. We are diehard Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, and Ohio State fans...anyone else has to be the underdog LOL. I know we make some of our family and friends nuts during football season, but you what I don't care LOL its what we do as a family...and in today's FAST PACED life having any family time together should be treasured. Now don't get me wrong I am GLAD football season is over...it does get long, but its ok...our son starts again in 12 weeks (not that long now is it LOL) to practice.

Anyway, it was a great week-end with lots of laughs, and we look forward to what next week-end might hold for all of us. If you are a state that votes on "Super Tuesday," please get out there, and make your voice heard....we should all participate in the greatest show of democracy in the world. Remember this is what other countries only WISHED they had...and will probably never get a chance to have a VOICE.
