Super Bowl & Beyond

The Super Bowl part:
Super Bowl party at our house: Too bad you can't see all the bodies below--obviously missing are Aaron and Lauren, slouched down behind the sofa. Tom is upstairs at the moment of the shot. And the women on the right here, they just know better than to elbow in during a Super Bowl game.
Me? I'm behind the camera.

Most of our crew were pleased with the Giants winning.

The commercials that got the most response were the Doritos-- where the overgrown mouse takes on the would-be trapper, and the Pepsi straw sucking Justin Timberlake through all sort of landscaping, mailboxes, and traffic.

My personal favorite was the parade balloons battling for Coca-Cola, and Charlie Brown comes out of the blue to win. Yea, Charlie Brown! It's about time he got a break.

& Beyond part:
WRITING UPDATE: Scholarship contest entry is written and will go out this week. I'm going by faith that I will win a scholarship for the "Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference" and am using the conference date (May 18-22) as a deadline to start marketing. The book is not finished yet, but it doesn't need to be entirely done before submitting a proposal. By Feb. 20 I plan to send the proposal and the first several chapters to a professional editor. She'll get it back to me by May 1, giving me a couple weeks to revise it.

Thanks for checking in on me.

Go Giants. I watched the game here on my small computer screen. Kickoff was at 7:30am.

Looks like y'all had fun.

Thanks for the update on your writing as well.

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Me? A Fan? Could Be!

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
