WOW WHAT A WEEK-END !!!
WOW, WHAT A GREAT FOOTBALL WEEK-END !!! I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN MY JOY WATCHING THE PACKERS WIN IN THAT SNOWSTORM THAT I'M NOT HOME IN !!
AND THEN THE COWBOYS LOSE TO FORCE THE NEXT GAME TO THE "HOLY LAND", LAMBEAU FIELD, IN GREEN BAY? WOW WHAT A WEEK-END !!!
WE SPENT THE DAY WITH GRANDMA IN LAKE HAVASU CITY. THIS IS TRULY A CASE OF "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME". OF COURSE THERE IS A WISCONSIN CONNECTION, ROBERT MC CULLOCH IS FROM WISCONSIN AND BESIDES HIS OIL COMPANY HE IS THE MC CULLOCH CHAINSAW GUY. HE BOUGHT THE LONDON BRIDGE IN THE 1960'S AND MOVED IT PIECE BY PIECE TO THE SOUTHWESTERN DESERT AND RECONSTRUCTED IT. BEING THE SMART GUY HE IS, FIRST HE BOUGHT THE SURROUNDING REAL ESTATE, AND WELL, TODAY THAT PIECE OF DESERT HAS A POPULATION OF MORE THAN 50,000 PEOPLE AND EVEN WALMART IS ABANDONING THEIR STORE FOR A SUPER WALMART UNDER CONSTRUCTION. "IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME".
I TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES OF MY MOTHER AND THE BRIDGE, BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE THING SHE WANTED TO SEE WHILE SHE IS VISITING OUR WINTER QUARTERS. DAMN, THE CAMERA, AN OLD SONY WITH 1.3 MEGA PIXELS, WAS ON THE WRONG SETTING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
AFTER A COUPLE OF BEER STOPS ON THE WAY HOME, I COULD CONTINUE ON ABOUT THE PERFECT JANUARY WEATHER BUT ..........
