Cardinals Win!

Preseason football began this week. We spent last night watching a good game between the Denver Broncos at the Arizona Cardinals. At the very end of the game the Cardinals made a touchdown and an extra 2 points to win with a score of 17-18. I don't know that I am really ready for football but here we are. 

Next week our hometown Cardinals play the Kansas City Chiefs. I always like to watch the Chiefs play.

So today, dear reader or dare I hope for readers, what I want to know is if you are a football fan? What teams do you like? Have you written off football as a violent sport that causes harm to too many people? Comments are, as always, welcome if relevant.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

Football Season

We have lived in two different cities with a home town pro football team. Those cities were San Diego and Phoenix. We still keep an eye on the Chargers and Cardinals and how they are doing each season even though we live in Wyomming now. I always enjoyed the chance, whenever it came along, to go to the games. It wasn't often but it was always fun.

I look forward to the season at home too. Why? Well every weekend it gives me an excuse to sit in a chair for way too long and get lots of knitting or crocheting done although if the game is very good the needlework goes a bit slower.

Any favorite teams in your house?

Great Weekend

My weekend was busy and fun and I hope yours was too. On Saturday we went up to Payson. That drive seems to be a regular one for us on the weekends. We stopped at the fruit stand again as they were getting ready to close for the day. When a tired vendor of fruits and vegetables is getting ready to pack up and go home it is a good time to shop. We got almost 2 cases of tomatoes, a case of apples, some pears and some potatoes all for $10! I have spent today making tomato sauce and trying out drying some of the tomatoes in the oven. Tomorrow I am going to make some apple pies to go in the freezer for Thanksgiving when we will have a houseful.

Sunday was spent getting cars washed and going to the Cardinals game. We were treated to seats in a suite by Jim’s boss. (Thank you Tony!) It was a nail biter fourth quarter but the defense really saved the game. It was so much fun to be in the crowd on a winning day.We had a small brush with fame after the game. We ended up at the elevators at the same time as John McCain and one of his daughters. Jim shook his hand. I didn’t get the camera out and ask for a picture because I figure every one needs a day off. We wondered later if senators have some secret safety products to protect them when needed when they are out in public. There were some quiet guys in suits around but I really don’t know if they were part of his group or not.
