let's dance...

Did you know 

I live in a house full of sports nuts?

 I do.

( I wasn't sure you knew that 

with all of the fluff and pretties going on around here)

Today is an eagerly-awaited day.

The day that March Madness begins.

Known as the big dance.

It is a family event.

We  have *brackets*.

We get together 

to watch, to cheer, and to eat yummy food.

The families with the 2 remaining teams 

in the championship game 

get to pick what dessert our Miss G will make...

GO West Virginia!

We did a little internet research and did you know?

1. Basketball was invented in 1891. by James Naismith, a clergyman, educator, and physician in Massachusetts.

2. There were originally 9 players on a team.

3. By 1937, the ball lost the laces...helpful for dribbling, don'tcha think?

4. The *baskets* were peach baskets 
attached to the wall?

I didn't.

Now, I do.

How else are we supposed to watch basketball 

during the day and call it history?

I know it is the men's college championship

and 

these are girls.

Their uniforms are cuter...
