Chicago Blackhawks Win...

Winners are not people who never fail, but people who never quit....

My niece Kimsy turned 18 years old yesterday.


 She has been in Europe since May 31st.  She started off flying to London.  Hopped on a
 ship for a 12 day European cruise and for the next week she is touring Germany with her dad. 

Tuesday morning already and it is looking really good.  The sun is shining.
The birds are chirping, Brutus' paw is looking a little better and I woke up smiling. 


Making this even a more perfect day it the fact thatt the Chicago Blackhawks won the
Stanley Cup.  This is now their 3rd win in 6 years.  To use a quote by a New York Rangers fan:

"As a NY resident and Rangers fan, I am totally jealous at how ALL OUT
Chicago goes to support the Blackhawks!  You guys really know how to show team
pride and put other cities to shame!  NY does it for the Rangers, but it's not on this scale...not
even close...Hoping you guys pull it off in Game 6!  Let's go Blackhawks!"

Blackhawks   (check the link to see how they do it in Chicago.  Simply AMAZING)

I will be the first to tell you that I have never seen anything like this either.  The entire
city of Chicago is just all Blackhawks.  Yesterday on FB I saw a man take his pet to the vet Brutus
used to go to.  Well look how they were both dressed.  Now I wish we were in Chicago.


On the other hand, gives Arvid and I a reason to celebrate this weekend.
It's not like we need one, but always nice when we have one and what better than this?


Good morning everyone.  It's another beautiful day to be alive and to be smiling.

Real women love hockey.  Smart women love the Hawks.
Players win games.  Teams win Championships.
Winning isn't everything.  It's the only thing...
