I had not planned on continuing this post but the Checkers' posted a bunch of photos, from the game Saturday night, to their Facebook page.  I thought I'd share a few...

Blogger is shrinking the photos so if you want to see Yours Truly (and who wouldn't), click on the photo to make it bigger.  I've added a yellow arrow to help you out....Ha! 

Be sure and look to the right of me and you will see more proof that Scott did actually go to a hockey game!

OK...time for random photos from my phone.  Let's start with my perfect niece, Laura:

Laura's teachers say that she is doing great in school this year.  I also hear that she is loving horse therapy!  Here are a few of my brother's dog (the family dog), Sophie:

 

Sophie is doing well following her most recent surgery.  She survived 2 weeks of the "cone".  

Daniel is playing with Sophie:

And, finally, I bought some snacks for Blossom:

Star Wars Hockey Night

Saturday, Scott went to his first (and probably only) hockey game.  It just so happened to be Star Wars night at the Checkers game.  This isn't the most flattering picture of either one of us, but it is proof that he was there.  

 

The Checkers' did a wonderful job putting together Star Wars night. A great time was had by all.  Not only were many of the fans dressed up as their favorite characters, but Obi Wan "Chubby" danced a tribute alongside of the Checkmates.  There were plenty of video montages to watch or you could get your picture made with any number of characters from the movies.  Here's a short video of some of the players giving their Star Wars impressions... (It's not pretty.)

But, the best moment of the night for me was when Jerome Samson finally put the beat down on Martin St. Pierre after St. Pierre had been chirping at him the whole night.  This was only Jerome's 2nd fight in over 300 games if that tells you how irritated Samson was.  Yes, I am one of the fans ringing a cowbell.  :-)  

I don't know that Scott will be going to anymore hockey games anytime soon but we had a great night out.  The ACC championship was also in town at Panthers Stadium which unfortunately meant that the Blue Line was PACKED coming to and from the game.  I'm sure the Florida State/Georgia Tech fans were wondering why there were so many hockey fans on the train.  Especially the ones dressed as Star Wars characters!!!

Outdoor Fun

Blossom and I have been enjoying the 70 degree weather.  Saturday we spent some time at the greenway...



Paper Towels

Guess who found a roll of paper towels this morning?  This was her first roll of paper towels.  I wonder which she likes better?  Toilet paper or paper towels?

Toilet Paper

Blossom loves to eat rolls of toilet paper.  The problem is that our toilet paper holders are open on one end.  We try to keep the bathroom doors closed but nobody is perfect all of the time.  I got out of the shower yesterday to find her finishing off another roll...

Catching Up

There's way too much to catch you up on so here's a brief summary:

I've enjoyed spending time with my two favorite people on the planet...

Daniel spent all day Friday with Aunt Julie & Uncle Scott.  We wore him out.  Here's one of him awake:

I noticed that I am wearing my work keyboard out in an unfortunate way.  What does this key do?

(Yes, I do eat a lot at my desk)
Blossom is still in her "puppy chewing" phase.  Here she is eating an American Girl Doll Catalog.

Sophie had more surgery but, praise God, she is doing AWESOME now.  Here's a photo before she got rid of her e-collar.  She wore it for 12 days and then she decided she'd had enough.  

I've been to hockey, hockey and MORE hockey games!

In fact, here's a picture of Christy and I on the train headed to last night's game...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad's house...

Well, those pictures are going to have to wait because the computer is not reading my photo card right now!!!

And, last but not least, Greta is still running the house!  We love Greta!
