Happy Groundhog Day and Happy Superbowl Sunday and Happy Tater Tot Day

Many people will celebrate this day by watching the Superbowl, not me; I don't like football, but others will.  Hubby will have to record the show since we have small group meeting tonight.  Do you watch the Superbowl?  For the game or for the half-time show?  Or for the commercials?  Do you make special snacks for game day?  We attended a church that had a Superbowl party and played the game on a big screen.  Everyone brought goodies and it was a lot of fun (I heard).

Do you think the groundhog will see his shadow?  Did you hear talk about using an AI groundhog instead of the real deal?  I hope to spend the afternoon watching the movie Groundhog Day and eating taco tater tot casserole.  

Come back tomorrow and let me know which commercial you liked best.  They've had some really funny ones over the years.  I like the cat herding one myself.    The commercial was made for Electronic Data Systems and aired during the 1999 Superbowl.  Hubby worked for EDS at the time (still does but the company has been sold and changed names several times since then).  

The groundhog may or may not see his shadow but remember what James 1:17 says about God.  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

(Daughter) Amanda (and Tyler) to (Son) Matt & Cat:  Teddy (the dog) is enjoying the Super Bowl too (but he doesn't understand selfies and thought I was offering him my face 🤣)

It's National Hat Day, and National Bagel Day, as well as National Strawberry Ice Cream Day!
(I couldn't choose just one to celebrate today.)

Do you own a hat that isn't a baseball cap?  I think that's the only kind of hat in our house.
I'll just read a book about hats or try to pitch cards into a hat like the scene in Groundhog Day.  The obvious hat book is The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, but one of my kid's favorite hat books was Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina.  And what's the name of the Eastman children's book with the line, "Do you like my hat?"  That's a fun book too.

I bought bagels and cream cheese to celebrate with my coworkers.  I think we've had sweet treats at work every day this year so far.  Nothing like setting expectations early - no dieting going on around here.

Speaking of sweet treats, do you like strawberry ice cream with chunks of strawberries in it?  My grandson, Caleb, works at Culvers so we might need to pay a visit there today.  Although, it's not "ice cream," it's "custard," as Caleb keeps telling me.

Will you indulge in either of these treats on this special day?  While wearing a hat?

As we enjoy today, let's remember Proverbs 30:33 and seek harmony.  For as churning cream produces butter [or ice cream], and as twisting the nose produces blood so stirring up anger produces strife.
