Day #74 – Super Bowl Party

Sarver PA

Today, the streets were clear enough for us to set out for Debbie and Linda’s farm.  We went by way of Trader Joe’s (http://www.traderjoes.com), with lists from two families.  The streets in Forrest Hills were in good shape, as were those in Wilkensburg, but as soon as we crossed the border into Pittsburgh, we needed the four-wheel-drive.  The country roads to Sarver were better than the streets in the ‘Burgh!

Linda was out on her cross-country skis when we arrived, so we made ourselves to home until she returned.  Debbie arrived from her out-of-town trip; we all were soon joined by Lori and Beth, who arrived with bags of food. 

We watched the football game while noshing on home-made salsa, guacamole, and assorted cheeses.  Half-time gave Lori a chance to heat up home-made meatballs and sauce for pasta.  Yum.  After that, they presented Kelly and me with an ice cream cake, decorated with a truck and trailer.  We were so touched by their thoughtfulness and the creativity of the decorator.  It tasted pretty good, too – chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream.  I don’t remember much about the game, but I really enjoyed the food and the cats.

Beth took the truck after the game and festivities.  They sat in it for quite a while.  Kelly finally called them from her cell phone to ask if they needed help figuring out how to start it.
