Last night the Saints made it into the Super Bowl. They played a wonderful season and the whole state has been thrilled to watch their progress. I have to confess...I am not a Saints fan at heart. I love the Dallas Cowboys and actually get amused when the Saints loose, like they usually do. I have been caught up in the Saints fever lately and have enjoyed seeing everyone so behind their team. On Fridays, you see people wearing jerseys or black and gold all over town. Especially this past Friday. The whole state was excited about Sunday's game. They had made it once before to this point, but lost. The game was closely fought. It went into overtime and the Saints emerged victorious. It was fun to read emails, message boards and Facebook statuses. Everyone was talking about the game. We heard neighbors popping firecrackers and the phone lines both land and cell were overloaded. It was something Saints fans had waited 43 years for. A Super Bowl. It will be interesting to see how the next two weeks go. New Orleans will be ready for a party no matter the outcome of the game.

Black and Gold Super Bowl

Oh, it's so much fun when the home team wins!! Enjoy the celebration!!
When the White Sox won the World Series, we pulled the kids out of school to go to the ticker tape parade. We had so much fun! Of course, we are HUGE Sox fans, but it will always be something to remember.
There has been some talk about some schools being out the Monday after the game. It should be interesting all around.
"Photographs From Here" has been included in this weeks A Sunday Drive. I hope this helps to attract even more new visitors here.
