Ashley M. Stevanovich and I Love Flowers

Ashley M. Stevanovich and I have similar interests, which are flowers. They make a room smell nice and add color. I like to display fresh flowers on a table in the front of the house. It’s a nice, natural decoration and when guests come over the first thing they smell is the flower display.

Some states have an official state flower, which is another special interest of Ashley M. Stevanovich. The first state I looked at to see what their state flower was is Florida, which is where Ashley M. Stevanovich is from. Coreopsis is the Florida state flower, which are a bright yellow and pink wildflower. This wildflower is part of Florida’s highway beautification program, which brighten up many roadsides in this state.


My favorite flower the Apple Blossom is Michigan’s state flower. They are pretty white flowers that are very fragrant. Michigan adopted the Apple Blossom as their state flower on April 28th, 1897. Since I’m from Colorado, my other favorite flower is the white and lavender Columbine. A Colorado Women’s Club in Cripple Creek back in 1899 made the Rocky Mountain Columbine the official state flower after discovering it was never officially declared.

Fishing With Sak Narwal

If you need expert advice on fishing, Sak Narwal is the fishing connoisseur with all the knowledge. Since he was a little boy, Sak Narwal has been out in the waters throwing his rod out into schools of fish. His passion for fishing goes beyond just catching the fish, but he gathers information about the technology of fishing and the environment and feeding habits of fish in fresh and salt water. There is rarely a week that goes by that Sak Narwal is not out in the water enjoying his favorite past-time.

Sak Narwal success with a rod and reel are as great as his accomplishments in the business world. It doesn’t matter the size of the fish Sak Narwal’s passion drives him to diverse waters. Sharks have been reeled in by Sak Narwal in Montauk Point, which is located on New York’s Long Island. He’s caught tarpon bonefish and permit in the Florida Keys. The Delware River is where Sak Narwal does freshwater fishing for the American Shad. He gets quite a workout with the Louisiana Redfish, since they are relentless fighters with broad shoulders, who test Narwal’s gear and muscle. Sak Narwal’s desire for fishing is just sport and the fish are released back into their habitat.

Flash Forward

I’ve checked out some of the new shows that have premiered this Fall. Flash Forward, I was addicted to after the first show aired. It is going to take the place of Lost when it ends next year. The writers are clever and we are kept hanging after every episode.

Flash Forward is all about this blackout that happened and some people saw glimpses of supposedly their future. There were some people, who did not see anything during the blackout and some of those people have died. John Cho (Harold from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and Hikaru Sulu in the remake of Star Trek) did not see anything during the blackout. He is an FBI agent trying to figure out why the blackout happened.

In the first episode, John gets a phone call from some lady, who tells him that during the blackout she saw John get murdered. This is not the only interesting tidbit that we must mull over week after week. D. Gibbons is supposedly a bad person, so told by us by Joseph Fiennes’ little girl, who saw D. Gibbons during the blackout. We were left wondering what Jack Davenport was involved in and was he the cause of the blackout after he gets a call from Dominic Monaghan (Charlie from Lost) at the end of last Thursday’s episode.

Supposedly, there was a previous blackout and many black birds have died during these blackouts, which takes Joseph Fiennes to Somalia to see if he can find some answers. A Nazi war criminal tipped Joseph about the black birds, but first he made sure if he gave information that he would be released from prison. I’m sure the Nazi war criminal will be showing up in up coming episodes.

Joseph has seen clues to the blackout in his Flash Forward. Some of those clues have transpired and he hopes to figure out the cause of the blackout before more tragedy happens.

I love these type of shows that leave you hanging and scratching your head asking, “What the hell?”

Colorado Avalanche Beat Detroit Red Wings

The Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings was an exciting game. Hockey is fast paced so the quarters go by quickly and keeps you on the edge of your seat. During the game, I tried to get a picture of the Avalanche making a goal, but I wasn’t successful. The Detroit Red Wings made the first goal of the night and Av fans were worried, but the Avalanche tied the score quickly. After the second goal was accomplished by the Avalanche, the fans went crazy cheering and hopeful that we would win the game. The ending score was 3-1.

There were many Detroit Red Wings fans attending the game at the Pepsi Center. My husband and I were surrounded by as many Red Wings fans as there were Avalanche fans. Despite the rivalry between the Avs and Red Wings, the fans were cordial to each other and my husband was talking to the Red Wings fans like they were old pals. One of the Red Wing players shoved our Avalanche goalie causing the game to stop. We weren’t sure if the goalie was going to be able to play, but he was able to continue and must have just had the wind knocked out of him. Avalanche fans were expecting a fight to breakout among the players, but the only reaction was the Red Wings player reprimanded to the penalty box.

Event Chaser snagged us tickets in the third tier, which is in the back of the arena. Despite being far from rinkside, we could see all the hockey action. There isn’t a bad seat in the Pepsi Center when attending a sporting event. Concerts are a different story. If you attend a concert at the Pepsi Center, you want to be on or near the floor and not sitting behind the stage. It is hard to hear the lead singer and the music drowns them out. During a sporing event, it’s easy to follow the hockey puck or basketball even in the nose bleed seats.

It was another exciting night with Razor Gator providing FREE tickets for my husband and I to watch the Colorado Avalanche in action!!

Colorado Avalanche

Thanks to Razor Gator, I will be snagging Colorado Avalanche tickets. They play the Detroit Red Wings in a couple of weeks. Hockey is a game that is exciting to watch, because you don’t know what mischief the players are going to get into. My husband was able to get hockey tickets many years ago through the company he worked for and it has been the only game we have seen. Our seats were way in the back, but we were able to see all the action and there were numerous fights during the game.

The Colorado Avalanche won that game we attended. It was the year that they went to the Stanley Cup and won!! I was able to watch Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Patrick Roy, and Adam Foote in action. It was a fun night and we have been wanting to go to another Avalanche game. After I told my husband that Event Chaser was going to send me Avalanche and Detroit Red Wing tickets, he was very excited to go to the game. I didn’t realize I chose a game that was an important one to watch. My husband explained to me that the Detroit Red Wings game is like the Colorado Rockies playing the Chicago Cubs. I understood why my husband was so excited, because baseball I’m more familiar with than hockey.

It will be a memorable night with the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. Thank you, Razor Gator and Event Chaser.

Pour Some Sugar On Me Def Leppard

The picture is a bit blurry, but onstage is Def Leppard and in the movie screen is Phil Collen cranking out tunes on his electric guitar. This was one awesome concert and I wanted more when it ended at 10:30 sharp! Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre are very picky about the length that bands perform. Despite the early ending, Def Leppard gave a spectacular performance. And I haven’t seen that many female breasts, since I was sixteen and at a Motley Crue concert. Joe Elliot, lead singer of Def Leppard, made a comment about the view from the stage. The cameras displayed the fun bags view many times on the movie screens off to the side of the stage.

We danced and sang every song that Def Leppard sang: Love Bites, Rock Rock Til You Drop, Photograph, Rock On, Let’s Get Rocked, Nine Lives, Animal, and many other hits. The crowd was not familiar with Def Leppard’s newest album, Songs From the Sparkle Lounge, because when they played Nine Lives the crowd was pretty quiet. I was surprised and disappointed that more of the so-called “diehard” Def Leppard fans did not know this song, which is the most popular off their new album and was up for a Country Music Award and Country Music Television Award.

Poison and Cheap Trick warmed us up before Def Leppard hit the stage. The crowd went nuts over Cheap Trick hits I Want You To Want Me and Surrender. Poison sang their hit songs Unskinny Bop, Every Rose Has Its Thorn, and Nothin But A Good Time. C.C. DeVille plays a mean guitar and Brett Michaels is just damn sexy. Brett gave props to all the men and women in the military. There was even a military guy on stage filming Poison as they performed.

Def Leppard announced that they would be back and I can’t wait to see them again!!

Trueblood

I am addicted to this show, which airs on HBO on Sunday nights. It’s season two and things are really getting interesting on Trueblood. Godric is an intriguing vampire. My first impression of him is that he’s more God-like than vampire. I’m wondering how he survives on very little blood these days. Is it because he’s 2000 years old? He makes the whole concept of vampires very accepting, because he’s against violence and wants to just live among humans.

This is how the vampires have lived in Season one and two. The humans seem to be much more violent than the vampires. Eric seemed to be evil, but in the second season I’m seeing a different side of Eric. Or maybe, Eric was always a good vampire and we are just seeing more of him in season 2. My question is how much does he love Sookie and will he ever have her romantically. Is that allowed since Bill the vampire has claimed the human?

Maryann is one evil thing. I’m not sure what she is, but one thing is for sure, Maryann is up to no good. She puts people in trances and makes them do very bad things. I am anxious to see what happens in the upcoming episodes and whether someone gets smart and just kills Maryann.

I was happy for Sam finding another shape shifter, but it was sad when the shape shifter ended up being under Maryann’s evil spell. Poor Sam, he has been all alone in his shape shifting life. Sookie found out Sam’s true identity, but Sookie is in love with Vampire Bill, so Sam is left with no one to love him. I am hoping that Sam finds someone in the following seasons.

One of these days, I hope to have the time to read the Charlaine Harris’ books, which Trueblood is based on. Books are better to read, because there is more detail to indulge in. However, the show Trueblood is very entertaining and keeps me on the edge of my seat!!
