Super Bowl Weekend

This has been quite a busy weekend. Friday was the busiest day at work in a looooong time! After work a bunch of us gathered at Ferg's in St. Pete to bid farewell to Jaci who is moving to West Palm Beach. Ferg's is a sports bar just north of the Tropicana.

Wayne and I were invited to a "Post Holiday" party on Saturday night. This couple leaves their decorations up for the party...so I guess it's not quite "post holiday". The above picture is of the back yard. The weather lately has been pretty cold at night, in the 40s and low 50s. Knowing that it was going to be outside in the backyard, in addition to the inside, we figured we should dress warmly and maybe wear hats to keep our heads warm. Around 2:00 pm on Saturday Wayne gets this inspiration, so off to JoAnn's we go. At 5:00 pm, fabric is cut and it's off and running. Our creations:






















Aretha Franklin's Inauguration hat has caused quite a stir. So, inspired by Aretha and dedicated to Gina. (See Birthday in Orlando ) our hats, and they kept us warm for sure!

No Super Bowl parties for us on Sunday, so it was just a stay at home and watch. For half time, Wayne made this Barefoot Contessa chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting.
