I wanted to have a New Year's buffet instead of a dinner. So this morning I made meatballs, zucchini strips, and roasted carrots to have with ham. And I could also work on the laundry at long last because our dryer is now fixed! After our buffet, Jana and I went in to visit Mother; we took her some fabulous New Year's buffet leftovers. She is at the top of her form today. We had a really nice visit.
Tom called us from the Rose Bowl! He's there with Todd and Steve. He said that about 60% of the stadium is filled with Michigan fans. The game is ready to start now - Michigan vs. Texas. More later.
Well it was a spectacular football game - very exciting - lots of beautiful plays. We lost by one point on a field goal by Texas with 2 seconds on the clock. This from mgoblue.com:
Dusty Mangum's 37-yard field goal as time expired was the difference as No. 6 Texas edged the No. 13 Michigan football team 38-37 in the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Jan. 1, in Pasadena, Calif. Several Wolverines had huge individual performances, as Chad Henne set a Rose Bowl record with four touchdown passes, including three to Braylon Edwards, who became the Big Ten's career leader in TD receptions. Steve Breaston added a 50-yard scoring grab among his 315 all-purpose yards for Michigan, which finishes with a 9-3 record.
Dick just told me that we have an ice storm predicted for tonight. Oh dear - Jana is supposed to fly home in the morning. Those forecasters are always wrong - I'm not really worried - yet.
Anyway, HAPPY 2005 !
