No football...what's a girl to do?

This is Iris, a very charmed Irish Setter we rescued. When we walk in the mornings she will go out of her way to avoid a puddle, BUT toss a rock in the lake and she's all about getting it.

Check out the colors on this tree. Absolutely stunning. We saw this tree on a walk around a new trail in the area ( no football remember) . It is an oak, we only have maples in our yard so it is nice to see some of the dark reds. The best part of this is no raking up these bad boys. I really missed no football yesterday, I like everything about it, the hits, scores and the sounds. It's funny how we evolve as we grow up. It should be no surprise that when I was younger I didn't care much for the game. Grew up with football playing in the bar. Didn't like it, remember my little bro had an electric football game with small helmets, and I do recall hearing great players names ( Bart Starr .....) I did have the opportunity to attend a Packer game at Lambeau with Big Dan. What a shame I did not get the game at that time Holy Cow there's a regret. This is what I remember of that game IT WAS FLIPPING COLD. My drink froze in the cup, and after making a trip down to the bathroom ( to warm up) I didn't pay close attention to our seat location and as I stood at the bottom of the stands searching through the crowd for Dan a nice, helpful worker asked if he could help when I replied I'm looking for my husband.....he's wearing blaze orange. The well meaning kid gives me a look that definitely said dumb blond as he pointed out the crowd (over 50% wearing blaze orange). Well I did find him, the Packers lost and at midnight my thighs were still red from the cold. Years later Dennis figured out how to get me to like football....with gambling. yup a simple football board and the chance to win hundreds taught me how to score and anticipate what was needed to be done so I could win. ( I did win 500 on my first game only to have the fridge die the very next day). I'm sorry about that Dan, I wished I would have like football. BUT the best part of that trip was going to a theatre and seeing for the first time Christmas Vacation, we own it and watch it every Christmas eve.
