This is from yesterday. I was still so buzzed about the Vikings win I forgot to post about the rest of the day.
We were still getting snow, but only small amounts. I'm not even able.to take care of that anymore but my neighbors come through for me. We heard the scraping of a snow shovel on the walk out front. As usual I went to the door to thank which ever lady was taking her turn at helping. Oh hey! Not one of the next door neighbors, but the guy across the street. Thanked him and chatted a bit then he proceeded to go to the back of the house and shovel the walk to the garage.
Early afternoon found us heading to the northeast corner of the Minneapolis. Or as it's usually referred to as Nordeast...don't ask. A friend was hosting a small Christmas party. Ended up just a neighbor couple, us and the two hosts. Got to see their new kitty. She's still nervous about her new home but is warming up to them. Having 4 strangers in the house didn't help. She did come close and sniffed both my cane and the wife's. No doubt smelled our cat on the tips. Snacked on cheese and crackers along with cookies and good conversation.
Already talked in the NFL thread about our Vikings game, so no need...oh heck, yes I'm going to mention it again.
When we got to the party Vikes we're down 30-0 with just a couple minutes left in the first half. Later I found out the Colts got a field goal also before the half ended.
We were at the party nearly two hours. In the car ready to go home I checked again. Tied up in overtime!!! Had 25 minute drive home and made a check in the garage. VIKES WON 39-36!!!
Left the garage and next door neighbor was shoveling. She told us it was the biggest comeback in NFL history. Damn! Still don't know whether to be proud of the team for the comeback win or mad they started out so poorly.
Oh well... they won and will have home field advantage for the playoffs.
Yeah... lot's of what made my day yesterday. Today I rest.
