The gold medal game just started here at 6:10am. The US is playing the heavily favored Canadians and with 7 minutes gone in Period 1, the US just took the lead! This is a big deal as we haven’t won the gold medal since the infamous 1980 game, 46 years ago today, when Team USA upset the Russians. That was known as the Miracle on Ice. If the US wins today, this would undoubtedly be known as Miracle on Ice II! You never know!
Yesterday we had the bathroom baseboards caulked and painted and in two weeks, we should be finished with it. Next Saturday we’re in Chicago so that’s why it’ll take two more weeks. Salvatore can only work on Saturdays, as he has another job during the week. It’s looking real good!
Marty came over after dropping Melanie at the Eagle Airport, and we sat in the sun smoking our pipes hanging out. It was still cool outside but really nice and sunny. Lori went and had her nails done. I went up to Davy’s three times to let the dogs out.
The sun came out in the morning and melted most all the snow on the roads. Looks like it’ll be 70 in Denver this week! It was cold and snowing in Chicago yesterday, so it looks like we picked the right weekend not to go, ha.
Davy said Abbey has three big duffle bags of Team USA gear from helmets to coats, scarfs, gloves, everything, as they loaded her up with gear. Excited to see all the stuff. They’ll all be home today as yesterday Abbey and the kids headed out in the morning from Denver for Steamboat for a hockey tournament yesterday and today. Back to the game, 4 minutes left in Period 1 and so far, Team USA is hanging in there playing good defense and pressuring Team Canada. Again, it’ll be a huge upset if we win!
Have a great day, God Bless. USA, USA, USA!
