CAN YOU SAY SUPER BOWL

YOU KNEW HE WOULD BE BACK. I HAVE WAITED 21 YRS, WHAT EXCITEMENT. WELL FIRST THE WEATHER, WE WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO 6 INCHES OF NEW SNOW AND IT SNOWED UNTIL ABOUT NOON. SO WE HAVE PLENTY NOW. DOUG HAD TO PUT CHAINS THE LAWN MOWER TO GET THE SNOW PLOWED. PLENTY OF SNOW. AND TODAY IS HARLIE KAY'S 2ND BIRTHDAY, SO WE WENT TO KAYLA'S FOR DINNER AND CAKE. SHE WAS A VERY GOOD GIRL AND ENJOYED THE CAKE AND PRESENTS. SHE GOT A NEW RED RADIO FLYER TRICYCLE FROM VILLAGE FARM AND HOME. THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN FIND METAL TRICYCLES THAT ARE GOING TO LAST AND NOT THAT CHEAP PLASTIC, THAT WALMART SELLS. SO IT WAS ALL FUN. THEN IT WAS HOME TO WATCH THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW THE SPORTS UPDATE. THE PIRATE BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, LOST A HEART BREAKER IN OVERTIME ON FRIDAY NIGHT. BUT I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD THING, FOR THEM TO HAVE A LOSE AND NOW TIME TO REGROUP. WRESTLING YESTERDAY, MITCHELL GOT 2ND, LOST IN THE FINALS TO A KID FROM NORTH LINN, RATED IN THE STATE, HE DID REAL WELL, JUST ENDED UP A FEW POINTS TO SHORT. AND NOW FOR THE EXCITING SPORTS NEWS, REMEMBER I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT THE FRIDAY BOWLING LEAGUE DOUG IS IN. WELL HE BOWLED A 300 GAME FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SO HE DID ALITTLE CELEBRATING FOR THAT.

AND SOME SAD NEWS, MY AUNT ADELINE,(moms sister that lived in Sparta) PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY MORNING. SO WE HAVE A FUNERAL THIS WEEK, SHE WAS THE LAST OF THE KOECKE'S.

MICHAEL AND LOREN ARE WAY UP NORTH ICE FISHING. I CALLED THEM AFTER THE GAME AND MICHAEL WAS CELEBRATING WITH BRANDY & 7, SO I DON'T THINK THERE WILL ALOT OF FISHING DONE TODAY. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL RETURN SAFELY TOMORROW. I TRIED CALLING PAULIE AFTER THE GAME, NO ANSWER SO I LEFT HIM A MESSAGE. AND TOLD HIM TO KEEP CHEERING FOR THE BEARS. I TREATED MYSELF AND DOUG TO A MABE'S AROUND THE GARDEN WITH EXTRA CHEESE, FOR THE VICTORY, SO I GUESS I BET GO AND EAT. SEEMS LIKE I HAD MORE NEWS BUT CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING NOW. SO UNTIL LATER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO REX TOMORROW.
