February 19, 2015. Nuevo Vallarta, Mex. Curling.

The Scotties Tournament of Hearts has been going on for over a week, held in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. We have enjoyed every minute on TV. Like everything else, to enjoy watching curling you must know quite about it. By now, Ken and I understand the strategy. Rita still curls and Doreen watches curling, which is the only sport she will watch on TV. She watches no football or hockey but will watch as much curling as she can get. The tournament has been excellent. Up until now, we have watched the round robin section. The top four teams meet for a playoff on Saturday and Sunday. It is exciting to see which four teams will get into the final four. We are fortunate to be watching the tournament, which is the ladies Canadian championship. We would not be able to watch it in Mississippi. In 2 weeks, the mens championship for Canada will be held, called The Brier, but I feel sure we will miss it. No one watches curling on TV in Mississippi. Actually, most people in Canada don't watch curling either, especially my friend Mary McD. I have yet to get her interested in the sport. But we enjoy it even though we have never curled. It is a big sport in Canada, but not as popular as hockey!!
