ENJOYING THE WINTER OLYMPICS ......

I love the Winter Olympics! I don't know what it is about the sports that attract me ....
maybe the speed and danger ! Something, I avoid in my own life! I'm a big chicken even at an amusement park! Just ask anyone who has been to one with me! I prefer the Merry go Round to the Ferris Wheel! lol I'm NOT a big risk taker!!
I admire the risks that the athletes take and the love and determination they have for their sport that gives them the courage to do what they do!

My favorites this year have been Bode Miller.........
and Lindsey Vonn.
I was so happy that each of them got a gold. Lindsey hung in there with her injured leg and you could tell she favored it but she still managed to win gold in one of her events.

Sean White is totally fun to watch! He is awesome ! He has NO FEAR! And he really puts on a show!
And of course my favorite is APOLO OHNO! I think this guy is incredible! I was so happy when he won his 7th medal on Saturday. He is such a cutie and his sport (like the downhill and snowboarding) is soooooo fast!
The strength and endurance these athletes have is a marvel to me!

Oh, Stillman and I have been waiting four years to see Apollo skate. before He came to the Olympics I thought the skate races were so boring, but he makes it exciting. Also the women figure skating is my favorite.
