Congratulations New England Patriots

Super Bowl LI Champions 2017.

Two years ago I was in Yap watching my team win Super Bowl 49. Did not think it would get any better than that with the game saving interception by Malcolm Butler. But it did get better. The Patriots came from behind to win in overtime, a very exciting game. Always believe, as miracle do happen. Tom Brady is the game MVP for the 4th time, Patriots victors for the 5th time, a record of victories.

While I watched from my couch and not the stadium, I did go to the parade in the snow. It was great to be a part of the celebrations. Here is a collection of pictures to share with all of you.

What parade would be complete without a Dalmatian dog in a fire truck?

And is there any thing more precious than watching the MVP quarterback Tom Brady with his cute son Benjamin (Bennie as his Mom calls him). (Note: photos downloaded from the internet, I could not get positioned for such great pictures.)

We Brought it HOME. (TB12)

Julian Edelman, one of my favorite players, celebrates. He made a phenomenal catch in the game. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet both Tom Brady and Julian Edelman, an experience I will never forget!

The master minds of the Patriots  - Ernie Adams, Matt Patricia, and coach Bill Belichick.

Rob Gronkowski and James White, who scored the winning touch down.

Here is a picture of the defensive line men from my vantage point. I am in the crown six deep. Family members were a large part of the celebrations and were on the duck boats with the players.

Great vantage point.

A million people lined the streets of Boston for the parade. Neither rain nor snow not cold driving winds can keep the fans away from celebrating our team. How can so many people get off from work? Should I ask?

The coveted prize - the Lombardi Trophy.

Baby Boy Brady - born during the third quarter of the game in the Boston area. A fan since birth!

WE WON!!

TB12 with his sons Jack and Bennie. Terri Bradshaw and Robert Kraft.

Great catch. Julian Edelman came up with the ball despite three defenders all over him. We can watch this over and over again.

James White scores a TD.

Danny Amendola made great plays, including a two point conversion.

TB12 attempts a tackle after an interception. Every one does their job.

Quarterbacks don't really tackle all that well! Good try.

Touchdown!

Gisele Bundchen, Brazilian supermodel wife of Tom Brady celebrates the victory with family and friends.

TB12 and Matt Ryan, quarterback of the defeated Atlanta Falcons.

An emotional time, no doubt for TB12 and the team.

TB12 with daughter Vivian. Isn't she a cutie!





And my blogs would not be complete without a picture of my boys, who enjoyed the game.

Is that a touchdown??? Let's see the replay.





Touchdown! We won the Super Bowl. Tom Brady is our hero!

Happy New Year.....

...... from my home to yours.

May you all enjoy peace and prosperity, and good health, good friends and good food.





And may you also enjoy good traveling companions throughout the years!

Gunnarr loves to peer between the backseats. But he doesn't hold still for the camera!





























They are wearing their new winter coats as it is cold outside this New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Was looking at a few photographs from my visit to Kruger. Here are a couple of cool, handsome male lions.

Not to worry, they were far away!



And here is one cute giraffe, not so far away.

12.25.16 Enjoying the day

We do have a white Christmas and it is a beautiful day. Much for which to be grateful. Fionnegan and Gunnarr enjoy the kindness of their Auntie Paula and Aunti Diane. I usually don't buy gifts for dogs, but I did get them the toy dogs that back and hop. Fionn would not go near them and Gunnarr was very curious. It was fun.

Hope you all had a wonderful day.

Merry Christmas!

12.24.16 Merry Christmas.....

..........from my home to yours. May you and your loved ones share in the joy of this blessed holiday. May you all enjoy good health and the comfort of a loving home.

We may have a "white" Christmas if all of the snow from last week is not washed away by the rains. We would have had a foot of snow if it were a little bit colder today.

Here are a few pictures that from my Christmas tree that I am sharing with you.

Have you been naughty or nice? Will Santa be visiting you tonight?

The angel announces the birth of Jesus.

Happy Birthday baby Jesus.

This is my favorite ornament as it has great sentimental value to me. It is from the Christmas trees of years past when I was a little girl. It always brings back good memories for me.

May Peace fill your days forever.

12.04.16 Congratulations to TB12 on win 201.

Was at the game on Sunday to witness Tom Brady become the quarterback with the most wins - 201! They beat the Los Angeles Rams easily and it was a good game. TB12 had a touchdown pass and no interceptions so it was a clean game.  It was cold there at the game, but I was bundled up with winter boats and many, many layers. Ever since I cam e back from Yap I find it to be really cold. I also found Yap to be really really hot! Go figure. At half time they also had the entire 2001 Super Bowl championship team there - all except the quarterback - who was in the locker room preparing for the second half. It is exciting nad hard to imagine that the quarterback that led the team in 2001 is still playing and playing at a top level.

Here are a couple of pictures of the game taken from the stands.  You can find TB12!

End of game. Pats win and this is TB12's career 201 victory, breaking the NFL records for quarterback wins.



Press conference on the field. TB12 is there.

May there be many more! Congratulations to the best quarterback in the NFL. Past and present.
