Once Again, All You Need is Love and KC Football

 

As I have mentioned before I'm not an especial football fan. I know that's a somewhat controversial statement to make while the Super Bowl is literally playing, but it's the truth. I liked high school and college football games, at least when the weather wasn't too cold. In those days I was watching in New England and the end of the season could be really cold. But my football enjoyment didn't translate to professional football.    

I understand that the rest of the country doesn't agree with me, especially not my friends who are Kansas City Chiefs fans. They are fervent fans. So in their honor Buttercupland is officially rooting for the Chiefs and hoping that the  team gets a third Super Bowl win in three tries. 

I do like the commercials, especially the Clydesdales and reading about all of the different snacks that are being served around the country tonight. My snacks are routine. I went wild and bought a bottle of Diet Pepsi and I'm going to make popcorn, which is one of my regular snacks. I also went wild with a grilled cheese sandwich for dinner and may cap off the evening with a hot cocoa later. Are you having special snacks for Super Bowl?

On a different, but related topic, in 2023 I predicted that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were a real thing romance. I also predicted that they were going to get married and I still stand by this prediction. No bets on when, but, friends, it's going to happen. I'm kind of thinking before the fall 2025 football season begins. 

It's been a busy weekend. It was the start of my synagogue's 200th anniversary celebration and it was a great experience. I'm planning to do post about it later in the week with some of my photographs. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and Go, Chiefs!  

You Read It Here First

 

I rarely post about football, but for even someone who's not a football follower, it's difficult not to be caught up in the fervor about the Kansas City Chiefs. The excitement is about playing football, which is big in Kansas City and the tight end of the team, Travis Kelce. It's also about Travis' romance with superstar Taylor Swift.

I also rarely post about celebrities, but I caught the Taylor/Travis fervor last week. I started reading about the romance, and friends, you have seen it here first. I predict that this is the real thing and I'm willing to bet that they get married. 

Yes, Taylor is one of the most famous women in the world, but Travis is no slouch. He more than holds his own in the world of football and friends in Missouri spoke of not only his football success, but his philanthropy in the area. They're close in age and after long relationships that ended, they both may be ready to settle down.   

Though I got caught up in Chiefs' mania the trip was so much more than football. I got to spend time with my blog buddy, Melinda and her husband, Ken. I also got down to Branson, and spent time at the Truman Library in Independence and the fabulous Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City. 

Spent a great evening with my Kansas City blog buddy and her husband. 

Loved the barbecue restaurant they suggested. 

Yes, I'm posting two days in a row, which I haven't done in ages. But I feel that I've been neglecting Buttercupland and will try and post at least three days a week. I've got at least one Kansas City post to come and then we begin autumn posts as well as give a little love to books I've read and life in New York City.  

As ever, thanks for visiting and prayers for peace!
