It is March Madness in these parts. Both Gill's and my brother's teams have made it to the MN State Tournament beginning on Wednesday. I am so thankful tonight that they will not meet each other seeing they are in different classes and I would have a difficult deciding who should win and then if I stayed neutral they both would be wondering why......

Gill's team played their best game this season last night. I was so excited for him. It will be the first time in 56 years that the school he coaches for goes to state. Hopefully then can win a few more games. Last night we had a wonderful time celebrating, just the two of us.

On Thursday evening, my brother's team won their game. They will be going to state for the first time in 5 years. The kids are excited and someone even brought in sparkling cider for them to pour over each other when they won. Hopefully they will win three more games and be the champions.

I have to say, as a basketball lover, I am loving every minute of this. Gill cannot believe that I care enough to come to his games. He loves the fact he can talk some strategy and I actually understand it. It was so much fun to see him so excited last night. Hopefully next Saturday night I will be celebrating two state victories.......

Have a wonderful week everyone, hopefully mine is going to be busy watching b-ball......
