When you arrive, the hostess asks which game you'd like to watch so you can be seated in the area where your game is playing. Today they had the Vikings game on in three different locations. The bar, the main bar room, or outside under the misters. We chose the outside and sat down to watch the game. Several Favre jerseys were scattered about and a few Vikings ones as well. We snuck in behind them without them knowing. As soon as the Vikes did something well we cheered. The Vikes fans turned around and applauded us wearing the purple and gold. The Packer fans were not amused however. (HE-HE)
We had a GREAT time here and have vowed to go back for each and every Vikings game. The place is loaded with people wearing every team jersey and they all have sections to watch the game with the opposing teams in the same area. GREAT idea! Things like that would have kept us in MN. Oh well, no such luck. Here we are sporting our Purple and Gold as well as the view of the T.Vs for us to catch the game.
We were enjoying the game when a man about 50 yrs old approached and asked if he could sit down near our table instead of standing? Of course being raised MN nice we said "certainly"! We enjoyed talking with "Jimmy" who helped us in finding more great spots around the area where we live as well as where not to go. He is originally from Boston and his wife is from Chicago. He was raised by a police officer and shared the same views as DH. They seemed to agree upon everything.
The game was over and DH & DW decided to head to lake pleasant since "JIMMY" said it's only about 10 minutes away. Well, it was more like 25, but worth the trip. We soaked up some sunshine and DW snapped some photos.
Again we were approached by a woman who asked if we could get a hold of the police. DH asked her "why, what's wrong?" She stated "My friend locked her keys in the van." DH stated he didn't believe that the Police do that sort of thing anymore. In talking more the woman stated she was from Minnesota. Too Funny! The woman's daughter showed up and they were able to get the van unlocked without involving the police.
Here is a photo of Lake Pleasant taken this afternoon. Beautiful and not a cloud to be seen! It was a great day for DH & DW to spend the day together for their 1 year anniversary. "Too many more!"

It's a shame that the Vikings didn't do well on Sunday, but it was interesting watching GB. Looks like you two have stumbled onto a great place to watch the games from here on in.. Good for you! Makes game days all the more exciting! You're right - that is something that would fly here in MN.
We have received over 7" of rain this weekend. Over three on Saturday and another 4.5 on Sunday. Waaaaaay too much water. So many crops still standing in the field look positively awful. I had to take a code trip to Roch at midnight last night in that rain/wind/glare and it was terrible! It was nearly impossible to see much beyond the front of the rig and at times my top speed was 60. Pretty nervewracking to say the least. We all arrived safely, the patient is doing well but on the way home my adrenelin took a major nose dive after all of that and it was all I could do to stay awake. Thankfully, sleep came quickly although I was up and back to work within a few hours. Pretty typical when things get crazy!
Grace is growing daily and she now knows what the word 'squirrel' means. Her day is filled with running from window to window searching for the gray critters and then bolting outside to attempt to chase/catch them. At least she now has a hobby and purpose in life! Sure am glad for that french door we installed as I can leave the screen door open and let her run in/out/in/out/in/out all day long!
Miss you guys! Enjoy reading your blogs every evening before bed.
So sorry to hear about your ride to Roch. We can both relate to how terrible it can be to drive in that kind of weather. We are glad to hear you made it safely! We are still patiently waiting for a picture of Grace. We have heard so many wonderful things about your new addition. We also know the digital camera is not available as it once used to be. All is well here in AZ. Another week is flying by and it will soon be the weekend. "YIPEE" We will proceed to go out back tonight after posting this and do a little sunshine dance and send it Nordth. Thanks for reading and posting to our blog. It's a great kick to know people keep up on us. TnA
