Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I want to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This Christmas I will be the first for my youngest daughter who joined our family in Feb. 2010. The excitement of a new child and the fun of having a 5 year old hoping she gets all that she wants from Santa.

Hope your Holiday are filled with joy and happiness!

I will be back again next year with my 2011 prediction and review my predictions of 2010.

Fall Favorites

It's been awhile since I've done a blog so here I am. October begins in just a couple days. Fall colors, cooler temperatures (although we've had Oct. weather in Sept.) and Halloween. This is one of my favorites months of the year. The brat fries go away and chili dinners start. The downfall for me of course is the winter months are straight ahead. What is your favorite activity to do in Oct? I love taking my kids trick or treating. I still have the kid in me and like to take my share of their candy. I also love taking one nice Saturday afternoon and taking a drive to an area where I can see the fall colors. Whatever you like to do. Enjoy the month!

NFC North Predictions

The Pre-Season is now over and it is prediction time. My NFC North predictions include:

1. Packers 12-4
2. Vikings 10-6
3. Lions 7-9
4. Bears 6-10

Some side notes : Aaron Rodgers finishes second in the NFL MVP voting
#4 out of Minnesota will miss his first game the season with an injury.

What are your thoughts?

PGA Championship

It is going to be a fun week in our area as all eyes point to Sheboygan and the PGA Championship. The players are already in town warming up getting ready for the start on Thurs. This event maybe bigger this year than some of the others because of a lot of media attention will be focused on Tiger Woods and his struggles. You can never count Tiger out of a major tournament and will have something to prove after shooting his highest score ever last weekend.

The spolight this week is on Whistling Straits and Eastern Wisconsin. I will be watching the tournament with great pride of being from this year. Will you be watching?

Hot Dog Eating

For the 4th consecutive year Joey Chestnut won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest held on July 4th at Coney Island, NY. Joey downed 54 hot dogs to take the title. This is the 95th year the contest has been taking place and always gets a lot of publicity.

Another popular eating champion Takeru Kobayashi did not compete this year in the contest but was a spectator at the event and later tried to rush the stage and was arrested.

Nothing like a little excitement in competative eating!
