Super what? 01/27/2020


            There has been a lot of talk recently on the TV about, The Super Bowl. I can’t remember having spoken to anyone in person about that subject. If I am not talking about it, then how super can it be. Who came up with this Super Bowl concept?
            The naming of the super bowl may have been an error, most likely a misunderstanding that goes something like this.
            “Hay Johnny, are you going to watch the football game this Sunday night,” asked Billy Bob?
            “I don’t know,” said Johnny, “Football is kind of boring”.
            “My mom will be cooking supper, so you can eat supper with us, and we can watch the football game” said Billy Bob.
            “Will your mother make that bowl of soup I like,” asked Johnny? “Your mom makes a super bowl of Chicken noodle soup,” said Johnny!
            “I will ask her to make the soup if you will come to supper,” said Billy Bob.
            “If your mom makes that Super Bowl of soup, I will be there and we can also watch the boring football game,” said Johnny.
            Now you know why the game is called the Super Bowl, and why everyone is expected to have a bunch of food to make the game less boring. Without the food for the game, I am sure there would not have been 54 years of the boredom. Possibly it should be called the Supper Bowl!
Subject changed. Flowers in the Ford’s ole hot house as seen from outside looking through the wall. These bougainvillea are blooming like crazy.
                                   
            Another flower that I observed in front of the Ford’s homestead, is a red rose, you may notice the cross in the back ground. Click to enhance.
                                               
            No, the rose is not that big, the flower is close to the camera and the cross is against the wall. It does look like a big flower.

Soup in your bowl equals super bowl!
