On our way to church yesterday, we saw the herd of turkeys that lives on base!! They don't look quite like I remember them in the illustrations for Thanksgiving. What's more... they can fly!!! Yea, turkeys can fly. And not crazy flapping chicken flight.They just open their wings and fly - kind of like quail or turkey vultures. Another car pulled up to look at them and the whole herd just took off into the air and flew into the trees! I was so shocked I forgot I had a camera, otherwise I would have snapped a picture of flying turkeys for you.
The turkey out front is the male.
As our church group's last send-off for fellow Air Force couple moving to Japan, we all went out to Olive Garden for lunch. Imagine the stunned face of the woman at the hostess stand when I ask for a table for 14 adults with 6 babies. It turns out that we didn't actually have 14 adults and 6 babies, though. We had 16 adults, 5 babies, two toddlers, one child... and a partridge in a pear tree. Per the usual, Rob and I were the only couple without one eye on an offspring. When asked how we feel about that, Rob blurts out, "self-controlled" - LOL!

We enjoyed our Super Bowl experience last year so much (remember the brie and hot wings?) that we decided to enjoy it at home again! So we each got our "Super Bowl food." Rob's was, again, hot wings. But this year, I got.... my own cookie cake!!!!!! YESSSSS! So our food was great and the game was great!
I couldn't resist taking a little nibble before I could even snap a picture. mmm.
Saturday, Rob and I took a little adventure shopping. It was so nice! I love going places with Rob! Anyway, we went to the mall to buy Rob some new jeans and look for new running shoes. Check. - Levi's and Under Armour's new shoe line - really neat. I also got some new shoes! This FABULOUS pair from Nine West (god, I love their shoes!)... on clearance... with a military discount! YAY! This may be the most wonderful wear-with-anything pair I've got since the pastel ribbon ones (Apartment of Fun roommies, you remember)

We also went to Pier Park (the fancy new outdoor mall), ate at the Hoffbrau House - YUM, bought some fudge, and shopped at other fun stores. It was a nice outing. We also bought... a second controller for the PS3!!! SO that means, I can play too!! Rob and I played Soul Caliber together and had so much fun! He is so sweet - he turns his power down and lets me turn mine up so the fight is a little more even. :-)
Hope your weekend was fun too! For comment fun, what was your favorite Super Bowl ad?

We didn't watch the super bowl..we had party food and played Wii instead. Mattie watched the commercials online though...maybe he can comment!
I was a little disappointed with the commercials (way too provocative) and I usually only watch them. I thought the game was great and LOOOOOVED The Office episode that followed.
To answer your question, I would say that my fav was the one second ad "High Life." Very funny
BTW...when are you going to stop showing self control...the military is paying for it right...
Ok the Turkey pictures made me wonder - Is the Miata going back home to the Far East? I never have heard if Bill sold Val yet. I so still want it.
not even going to retort? hmmmm...suspicious....
