Hawks WON!!!
    The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup again this week. The entire playoffs were crazy, with a  comeback being down 3 games against Detroit, then defeating the best goalie and the LA Kings. But the series with Boston was brutal, exciting, and extremely stressful. The first game we won after 3 overtimes!!!  The final game was played in Boston, and they were winning 2 to 1 about halfway through the third period. They thought they were forcing a game 7 in Chicago, but the Hawks tied it with less than a minute and a few secs. AND THEN 17 SECS LATER SCORED THE WINNING GOAL!!! Never has a team won a Stanley Cup like that. What a thrilling game, and the entire city went nuts with VICTORY!!!  

     Hockey Fever had taken over the city. Even my 91 year old dad stayed up to watch the final game.  He usually goes to bed by 7 pm, but called me at 10:30 all excited about what a sensational game it was.  When I first told him to start watching the Hawks a few months ago, he claimed he couldn't see the puck, and it was too fast, yet boring because it took them so long to score.  But now he is hooked, and it is so cute and fun to share it with him, since I don't get excited over his baseball or golf. 
    We are up at the lake preparing everything for our 4th of July celebration.  Katy and Travis are flying home Tues, and for the first time since Christmas, I'll have everyone home together for a few days.  Roxi is now 6 months pregnant, and starting to feel better.  Travis hasn't met anyone else yet, so it should be fun getting to know him better.  I pray the weather is good for all of us, since it has been raining almost every other day.  Nice and sunny, but not too hot would be wonderful Lord. I'm just looking forward to having all my family at the lake house at one time.  It is the reason we built the house, and now it can become a home filled with family love at last.....
