Okay guys, Giants vs Tigers. Going to be another tough one. I hope they are up for it!Temps here are varying between 50's in the AM and 75-80 degrees in the afternoon. Been very dry here since Nov1. We need rain or those darn brush fires will be starting up.Patsy, besides Woman Of God Patterson has a new Cross book which was number 1` in Sundays paper. Can't wait to read them both!!!
-
Have you read any of John Sandford's "Prey" series (it began with Rules of Prey, and every book in the series has "Prey" in the title)? Serial killer novels at their finest! I've read several of Patterson's Cross books, and I very much prefer Sandford.

Hello all you Santa's! Patsy, the other Patterson book is Cross The Line. It has been running high on the best seller list. I am waiting for it and Woman of God. Women's Murder Club #16 will be out in May. Never, Never in January. He is turning them out almost as quickly as Woods. Of course they both have Co-Authors for most of their books.

Hello All. Happy and Healthy New Year is wished for you all. Patsy, I finished Cross The Line. I really think you will enjoy it. Memories. On New Years eve, we waited until midnight, went outside with old pots & Pans and banged the hell out of them. They were our noise makers, Then we would go out to neighbors houses and join their New Years Eve parties just long enough to have a drink and get on our way. The first glass of wine I ever had was at a friend and neighbors house, whose family members used to contribute to this blog. That was new years eve in the slope to me. Just getting together with friends and neighbors and giving wishes to each other! While I will not be physically with any of you I toast all of you. Even those who have decided to no longer join us on this BLOG>

Today is a big day for the Giants. They are already in the playoffs but a win today would solidify their standings in their division. GO GIANTS!!!!!

lol...

Let's go NY Giants...

I hope that the new Coach of the Giants has a better game plan for the Packers then he did for the Redskins. The Giants barely got out with a win thanks to Rogers-Cromarte. He is the best thing to come along for the Giants Defense in a long time. Cruz seems to have lost confidence in himself. He complains about not getting the ball but when Eli throws it to him he drops it almost every time. He was great last year???? Jennings is running better but they can't use him for almost every play like they did for Washington. Where would we be with out our Playmaker Beckham jr If he would only learn to keep his temper under wraps, he will help a lot. He can keep the Blonde on top of his head as long as he wants. Add in Collins and Shepard and all the reat!

Sunday is the day as our Giants take on the Packers in the frozen tundra. Temperatures expected to be in the single digits and wind chills are likely to be lower. Thankfully, kicker Robbie Gould is experienced in this clime. However, I remain concerned about Eli's inability to roll out of the pocket. With his limitations, the OL has to work extra harder as the Jints lack a blocking FB and good TE. Coach McAdoo needs to find a way to fill in these spots in order for our guys to advance in the playoffs as we need to keep the ball out of QB Aaron Rodgers hands. Rodgers has been on a hot streak lately and he is greatly mobile which should keep our D quite busy.GO GIANTS!Everyone have a GREAT weekend.

Hi Everyone, First I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I have some good and bad news to share. The good news is i just had another grandson, Dominic Robert, born on December 30, 2016. My daughter and baby are doing fine, Now to the sad news, our friend of this blog, Janet Horan has passed away. I don't really have many details....I just saw on Facebook that she was in the hospital and today Terry posted that she passed away. Janet was such a nice person, got to meet her at our first reunion. She was on this blog for years. May she Rest In Peace. If I find out anything else I will let you know. Thank you Patsy and Warren for keeping this site alive. Talk to you soon. Judy

My first grandson, Riley Aiden, was born December 31.

First of all, Congrats Booklaw on the birth of your 1st grandson. Not to brag but I have 5 grandsons and 2 Granddaughters. Yes, it is your right and responsibility to spoil him rotten!Judy, good to see you on here and congrats on your granddaughter! Sorry to read about Janet Horan. I never met her but I certainly remember her on the BLOG. Giants are in for a rough one today. Freezing temps, and a hot Aaron Rogers to contend with. Go Eli, Go Giants!

Hello all, forgot to mention above that we in Florida are getting hit with our share of inclement weather.. Temp in Tampa this AM 37 degrees! Only expected to get up to about 50. For us that is damn cold! Tomorrow night is the big College game between Alabama & Clemson. I hope that their players are used to the cold.
-
Booklaw.....Congratulations on your grandson. Old Goat......thank you I'm not really a football fan, so I couldn't tell one team from another. Hope your team wins!

As the old song says "The Parties over so say good night". As an old Brooklyn Dodger fan I can say "Wait until next year".

Okay, I am over the Giants loss but I did not like what I read about a "BOAT" party a day before the trip for the game. I thought that these were grown men that should know better. With so many people behind them and rooting for them with all their might. What poor judgement!!!!!
