SUPERBOWL - WHAT CAN I SAY?

It is Superbowl weekend people, what else can I say?  I could say GO SAINTS! or listen to others foolishly say, go Colts.  I could even break down the Saints chances of winning and provide you with endless feedback from the season's wins that have lead up to this moment.  I could even give you the stats for that other team, but what would be the fun in that? At this moment and for me, it would be pointless.  So what I'm going to say instead is, I'm going to hang out with family and friends while watching the annual sporting event to end all sporting events.  Eat, drink, laugh, and talk trash about the opponents; and have far too much fun poking fun at the ridiculously overpriced under-achieved advertisements, that for what they cost could have perhaps fed me and ALL my family and friends for the rest of our lives - well maybe not for the rest of our lives, but for at least the next 10 years or more.

I will perhaps edit this entry tomorrow prior to kick off time, then again, maybe not.  It depends - I have so much to do and so little time to complete my tasks.  Let's just say if I am able to, I will clean this post up a bit.  I'm not making any promises, after all I do have other issues on my plate - getting ready for game time can be challenging you know.  Oh crap, I have a proposal I'm suppose to write I should stop messing around and get right on that.  Pause for reality check ---- What am I thinking, I don't work on Sundays unless it is absolutely necessary, and I can assure you or myself if that's what it boils down to, it is not absolutely necessary to do anything today, other than what I will be doing - and that is...

Enjoying each and every moment of the day that I can.  What can I say?  I deserve a break and I couldn't have chosen a better day than today to take a break.  So if you deserve a break, take one and shout: Go Team!

FLOWERS – A WELCOME ADDITION TO ANY DÉCOR

Martha Stewart sherver roses There is nothing like the look and smell of a colorful bouquet of fresh cut Flowers.  The way a vase of flowers enhance a room is breathe taking, they help to keep that summer sunshine and springtime glow constant throughout your home.  Flowers not only brighten an otherwise dull room, they also serve as a natural air freshener for any bathroom, family room, guest room, or any other room in the home.  A vase of flowers could and should adorn every room in every home, everyday. 
Fresh cut flowers aren’t just for the holidays or to cheer up the sick;  flowers, especially Roses are a delight anytime or for any reason, and whether you buy them at the store or you get them out of your own personal garden, they're always a joy to the person that receives them.   Sending flowers during a sporting event, especially the Superbowl, can be considered a priceless and welcomed gift.
Fresh cut flowers can transform the ambiance of a routinely dull environment, while at the same time putting you or someone you know in a pleasant mood.    You or that special person you know, deserves the marvelous scent of a fresh cut, so why not order some fresh flowers for them or yourself, so that you can be a cut above the rest, because flowers are a welcome addition to any décor – at any time.  
Don’t tell anyone, but Valentines’ Day is quickly approaching, and  you know what could be just the ticket to top off someone’s day – that’s right, flowers!

AMELIA BOYNTON ROBINSON A BLACK TREASURE

It saddens me somewhat that I have lived the number of years I have and did not know of this Black Treasure amongst us. 
Amelia Boynton

Amelia Boynton Robinson was the first woman black or white to run for Congress from the state of Alabama, winning 10 percent of the vote at a time when only 5 percent of registered voters were African-American. Then, on what became known as "Bloody Sunday", she was brutally beaten and left for dead by Alabama state troopers as she and other African-Americans tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge to march on Montgomery.  Read more:  BLACK TREASURE

Additional note, This remarkable woman is still alive at age 99 years.
