February 2nd, Groundhogs day gives us a glimpse of what’s to come. Will there be an early spring or six more weeks of winter weather? I’m sure that most of you are praying for an early spring. Guess we’ll see!

     Later in the day is Superbowl, 5:30 P.M. our time. Superbowl Sunday when the Denver Broncos pair off against the Seattle Seahawks. Who were you routing for? Well, since our beloved Saints didn’t make it this year, my hopes shifted to the North Carolina Panthers. Then they were out. So I have my upline and best friend in Seattle and my long time best friend in Denver. Who do I pull for!?! This is what I’ve decided. I’ll pull for both teams, that way I am sure to be a winner! Or what my darling Daddy used to say, “I’m pulling for the team that wins!”

     Also this week, my sweet hubby turns 60 on the 3rd and my m-i-l (mother-in-law) turns 90on the 5th! I did this beautiful card for her.
