February 7, 2016. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The Super Bowl.

Fifty years ago Ken and I watched the first Super Bowl.   We had no television so we were invited to our friends the Ittman's home to watch the game and eat dinner.  This was in the year BC, Before  Children, when we lived in Galveston, Texas.   Since that time to now, we have dutifully  watched every game.  We have been to  big parties and to small parties and we have watched the game by ourselves at home.   Some parties have been fancy and some simple but we have enjoyed them all although we prefer small to big and simple to fancy.   But tonight, we four enjoyed the game at home.

Our own Super Bowl Party today consisted of setting up our goodies on the coffee table so we could help ourselves.  As we ate an ample brunch, our food was simple;  a variety of cheeses, crackers, cut fresh vegetables of peppers, carrots and cucumbers, and a big bowl of grapes.  Our feast was delicious and delightful in addition to being easy.

The game was interesting too.  Last week I predicted the Broncos would win as they seem more motivated and I thought that the Panthers might have the jitters..  And their defense demolished New England and did the same with the Panthers.   We four did not really care who would win but we all kind of hoped that Denver would win so Payton Manning could retire.  We have enjoyed the football season.  Now we will turn to hockey.
