If you live any where near Seattle , I'm sure you have heard (many times) about a football game tomorrow. (SeaHawks vs the 49er's for the NFL title). It has been fun seeing how involved and excited everyone has become. We have what is known as the 12th man. These are fans. I should say REAL fans. At the stadium, they try to register on our earthquake monitors. They have done so twice. They also have broken the noise level at a stadium and are in the book of Guinness World Records. I'm here to tell you it is even very noisy on the TV, almost too loud for my liking. The 12th man does include all fans, even those who can't get tickets to the games. As we were doing errands I took some pictures just to give you an idea of what is going on out here.
These cookies are in honor of two favorite players, Lynch, who they call the beast, and Wilson, the cute young quarterback.
Just to honor the fans.
These are from another bakery, the one in Poulsbo. In fact, all the rest of the pictures are from Poulsbo.
All kinds of memorabilia from the window of a little gift/antique shop.
A great little coffee shop!
Same little coffee shop.
Our great little book store.
Another coffee shop.
Even the Viking who welcomes everyone to Poulsbo is a fan today!
A private home on our street.
My favorite 12th man. GO SEAHAWKS!
I love the pictures of your town and your honey! Go Seahawks and then Go Broncos!

ReplyDeleteisn't it wonderful to be in the playoffs? ISN'T WONDERFUL TO BE IN THE PLAYOFFS STEELERS??? just in case they needed a reminder!
ReplyDeleteSorry I cannot root for any team coached by Pete Carroll.He behaved terribly on the field as coach at USC...plus LaMichael James (U of O) playes for the 49ers! Oh well...
ReplyDeleteAwesome Barb.My husband is worried about the 12th man,think his team have got thier work cut out with this game:-)
ReplyDeleteWe've got tickets for the Dolphins v Raiders game at Wembley in September :-D Can't wait.The tickets were being sold very quickly,all three UK scheduled games tickets went on sale last Thursday.
We'll be watching the Super Bowl live on TV over here next month.
Wow, Seattle sure knows how to Par-Tay!! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll root for them too, seeing as how the Packers are out of the playoffs. :(
Good Luck Hawks!!
Marilyn
love all the cookies ! Hope your team wins today :)
ReplyDeleteGreat display! What happens it it becomes a Seahawks vs. Patriots game - can we still be friends? LOL Good luck today!
ReplyDeleteHope your team wins!!! I love seeing the pictures from Poulsbo...that town is one of my fave places on earth!!! I often wish I could be dropped off at the Seahawks stadium and then I could walk to the ferry and take it to my Dad's house on Bainbridge Island. I love going there. I would move there in an instant if it were not for my husband, mom, brother and stitching friends here in Illinois. I can't wait to listen for the 12th man today on TV. Have fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be a 12th man in NC for you Barb. LOL I never thought I would find myself cheering FOR the Seahawks.
ReplyDeleteI love the energy of a football game! I just love football as I grew up with it, then played it. Now I just watch it - so go Seahawks!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! They won!! I'll be rooting for them in the Superbowl, Barb :)
ReplyDeleteWe love Russell Wilson in Wisconsin since he was a Badger for one season! Such an upstanding young man! Go Seahawks!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see your Seahawks fan pics! I heard about your player, (don't remember his name) that is hard of hearing. So inspirational to learn of him. (Our daughter is deaf.)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Good luck tomorrow!
