Well first I must say that was one of the most exciting Super Bowl games ever and the first ever to go into overtime. More on that later and why I pulled for the first ever in the Patriots to win. Sunday was an awesome day of worship at Bridgepoint and they too had a contest where the folks brought in cans of soup to help determine who was going to win. The Falcons at one point had the most cans they collected throughout the day and were hoping for 10 thousand cans of soup to add to the food bank for the needy in our city.
I started the day awakening in the spare room as Nancy had her snore on from about 1 in the morning. It was a bit chilly with some fog and overcast skies but by mid morning the sun broke through and warmed up the area. I did my usual morning routines before getting ready to head out for worship around 9. It still didn't get much out of the low 70's but was just a great day for outside activities. I actually sat out in the back yard and read for a couple hours while grilling the chicken wings we were taking to a super bowl party around 4. We all road together to Bridgepoint(cool peoples club minus Kathryn who was having a migraine)and heard a great message on getting in the game(no pun intended) or just being a spectator and being on the sidelines with regard to sharing the gospel and making a difference in someone's life. Pastor Tim will have to eat some crow next Sunday as he was a Falcon rooter.
We came home and I ran some fresh veggies over to Eddie my friend and plumber who came by and saved me Friday night on hooking up the drain for the new sink. He was back at work helping another friend all day Sunday as well. He has always been there for folks when needed in his expertise field. He turned out to be the best kid of all his 6 siblings as I knew the whole family when they were growing up near my old neighborhood when I was on school property for security reasons.
Nancy took off to Home Goods to once again buy accents for the new kitchen with neighbor Carol.
I sat outside after hand watering the gardens and read then put on a grill full of chicken wings to take to the party around 4'ish. We decided to eat early and then watch the game and have a Mexican pastry dish for dessert which was awesome. It was much like the elephant ears pastry you see at fairs but we did our own rendition of shooting whip cream into the inside and cover them with honey and then sprinkle cinnamon on top and powdered sugar. I left the sugar off mine and wow where they ever delicious. I can't remember the name but I'll never forget the taste. I pigged out and had several albeit they were not huge about 3x3 in size. We ate these during half time so our meal of wings, sloppy Joe's, layered dip and bruschetta had digested somewhat. We actually played a game of Euchre after eating while waiting for the game to start and it was a close match but the guys prevailed.
I've never been a Patriot fan because of their coach for some reason, actually I got tired of them winning all the time but anyhow after hearing Tom Brady come out in strong support of Trump I changed my tune and pulled for the team because of Tom. I was the only one in the room pulling for the Pat's and did I ever get some needling up and until we left in the third quarter. We came home and I turned the game on and the Pat's had made it somewhat respectable with a TD but missed the PAT, oh well it was a night thus far for the Falcons as their defense was the key to causing Brady to hurry his throws. I must have dosed because with just a few minutes to there was a 8 pt gap in the score. The announcers had counted the Pat's out when all of a sudden the score was tied and into overtime. Well Brady and his small college receivers went to work and they drove down in a couple plays and won the game after being down 25 points in the second half.
Awesome final game of this season and despite who you were pulling for Brady is with out a doubt up there with the best of the QB's and a Trump supporter. Let hope Trump can turn the country around and bring the nation back to being the beacon on the hill for the rest of the world and get back to honoring our Christian values, our working men and women and supporting the military and law enforcement community who are always on the front line and in constant danger from those who want to destroy our nation from within and abroad. The past administrations have so abrogated their duty to keeping us safe by being strong against those radical Islamic terrorist and the domestic terrorist who hide under the cloak of liberalism. Some will never see the need for strong leadership to keep us safe because of their blind allegiance to the corrupt who kill unborn babies and who welcome those who want to enter the country illegally and try to kill us in the name of their foreign and unholy god, LATER
