Life in the Bristolwood

Believe it or not, we are almost entirely without any snow! It never reached the predicted high here today, but it was warm, and as the rain came in,  the snow just melted away.  The lawn looks pathetic….it is so matted with leaves, sunflower seed husks,  and dead grass.  It seems pretty unusual to see grass in February, though! I took a photo from the bedroom window this afternoon with the little Panasonic camera that has such a wide angle view….

Just last week,  there was about a foot of snow on the ground there! Wow!  Our warm weather will soon disappear.  Tomorrow,  the temperature is supposed to drop throughout the day and be accompanied by some high winds. 

After taking the photo outside the window,  I saw the puck we got at last night’s Portland Pirates game.  I forgot to tell about the great deal that really helped us decide to attend this game.

If fans purchased a 4-pack of tickets for $79.50, they also received a puck signed by Nathan Gerbe or Tim Kennedy,  a bucket of popcorn,  4 sodas, and 4 hotdogs!  The seating was in a great section for seeing the game, so we decided it would be a worthwhile trip!

As we went to pick up a puck, Mark asked which one we should get. I told him Nathan Gerbe, of course!  Well, just a bit ago, I was reading the Buffalo Sabres website, and I nearly jumped for joy when I read that Nathan has been called up from the Pirates to play with the Sabres tonight!  Goooooooooooo, Gerbe!!!

Well, now that that is out of my system…..My family loves me. I made my take on Chicken Spinocoli again for dinner and everyone is smiling.  The dishes are done and leftovers put away.  The game begins in half an hour…..Ah, think I will just put my feet up and realax!
