No Joy in Mudville...

Well, Tom Brady and the Pats played a helluva game, but a win was not in the cards for New England. What makes it sting even more is that this was sort of a rematch of the 2007 Super Bowl with the same two teams. We were so hoping to beat the Giants this time! Patriots fans are a little stunned and sad this morning. Guess we'll have to look forward to next season!

On a brighter note, the new issue of FOLK arrived, right before I left for a family visit out of state. The stack of magazines is here and ready to be packed up and shipped off.

My family visit was great! I got to have lots of "baby time" with my new granddaughter, Sophie, who's getting bigger by the day. She's close to eight pounds now, just about double her premie birth weight from a little over a month ago. Can't believe I forgot to bring my camera, so I'm waiting for pictures Mom & Dad took. Also got to see my Mom, who was positively beaming when she got to hold her great-granddaughter, two of my brothers, my 2-year old niece, Jade, and my aunt. A great time was had by all, but these get-togethers go by way too fast. Hoping to see everyone again much sooner.

Happy Monday!
