Happy Thanksgiving

Heres wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there. Go easy on the turkey and heavy on the nap.

Our Patriots will be playing at noon time so I will have to eat fast so I don't miss anything.

Safe travels to those of you that are on the road for this holiday, be safe!

Still Here And Doing The Countdown

Wow, time really flies, Joyce and I have been busy taking care of business. Joyce is back to work four days a week to help supplement our trip fund. With rising fuel prices, we will have to adjust the distance that we will be traveling.

I've been doing the dentist/doctor thing and we are getting all those check ups and flu shots out of the way.
Thanksgiving is close by and we will be having the family over for dinner. So much work for a meal and I really don't care much for turkey, rather it was chicken.

I been spending a lot of time everyday with Casey on a training leash. Getting her to heel when we walk, and to sit when ever I stop. She's doing pretty good, but at nine months old she still has a bit of puppy in her.

Balloons

Joyce was outside the other day with Casey when some hot air balloons came over.
This seems to be their normal route because we get them often.

As they came closer Casey didn't know what to make of them.

She just watched as they passed by and never barked.

Trip To Gillette Stadium And The Pats

We took a ride to Gillette stadium to see the Patriots museum.

The Museum is in here.
Is this where the Patriots put their bad players?

These gates open out to the playing field.

We came here to see the Patriots museum which starts on the third floor and works it's way down, there are a lot of interesting items that describe the various teams over the years that developed into today's Patriots.
As we stepped off the elevator, this was the first item I spotted.

Super Bowl Chopper

Adam Vinatieri celebrated the teams three Super Bowl wins by commemorating the team achievement's on this chopper

AFC Ring

This thing is huge.

December 12, 1982....... Mark Henderson a prisoner on work release, had the job of keeping the yard lines clear of snow during the Pats Miami game. Before Smith, the Patriots kicker tried for a field goal, Mr. Henderson was asked to clear a spot for the kick. The kick was successful and gave the Patriots the 3-0 win against Miami.

Here it is!

Hum......Joyce in the huddle!

Bill Belichick's Anchor

The anchor, 250 pounds!

More memorabilia

Three Super Bowl wins in four years. Joyce got to touch two of the three trophies because she was at the stadium when the players returned from their Super Bowl win with their trophy in hand.

This was really cool, a wedding party was outside the gate to the playing field doing shots of them in play formation.
