About 30 years ago, one local fabric shop owner in our fair city started the trend to open her store on Super Bowl Sunday, back in the olden days when many stores weren't open on Sunday. She thought all those bored football widows would like something else to do while the man of the house was going crazy over the last football game of the year. She was so smart! The idea caught on, and now, many of the shops are having open houses, sew-ins, special sales, and just giving the women something to do while the hubs are cheering for their favorite team. Now, I know there are plenty of female footbal supporters, many in my own family, but for this gal, I hope to make the rounds this afternoon and pick me up some more stash!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, and may you spend it however your little heart desires!
