Our living room was full!

U - S - A!!!
Yes, yes, I LOVE the Olympics. I am not, and have never been, good at sports. So, I live vicariously through all of the athletes. So, in honor of the 2008 Olympics, we held an "Opening Ceremony" party last night. We had 15 people in attendance and we all crowded around the T.V. in our living room. The night was filled with great food (pizza and brownies!), great conversation, and great friends. Hearing everyone's comments about the performance was very interesting, indeed! Then, when it got to the parade of the nations, we kept taking bets (don't worry, no money involved) on who could guess how many athletes different countries had participating. I won the bet on the USA with a guess of 633 and it was really 647, I think. The United States had the most athletes participating, but China ran a very close second. Props to the Stringers for sticking it out and staying all the way to the end of the ceremony with us! Then, this morning in my groggy state-of-mind, I remembered it was Olympics time and hopped out of bed to turn on the T.V. I watched the USA women's volleyball team beat Japan in 3 sets to 1. What a great way to start the weekend! Happy Olympics watching to you all!

Hi Hattie, found your blog from Nancy's. I could not comment on hers. appears to be a private thing. I am sue Evans, a first cousin to Tom Fowler, niece to TG and Wilma. My mom was Byrtle. I just love the way the internet lets us find long lost cousins. My daughter and her husband had a big opening night party too.
