Happy Sunday! I’m hosting the Sunday Edition in February, and this weekend the Winter Olympics has opened for our viewing pleasure. Or, our viewing pain if watching winter sports is not your thing. Have you started watching the Winter Olympics? Last night I watched the snowboarding and the awesome aerial stunts. I like the snowboarding events more than skiing. The thought of attempting either sport on a steep slope is terrifying, and I admire the agility of all the athletes. Bobsledding on a very gentle slope with no obstacles in my path would be more my style, lol.

The Winter Olympics are fun to watch. It all looks so dangerous- maybe not curling though.
I have been watching the Moguls (watching the women right now) I watched the snowboarding today and that was interesting. Watching the girls excited for each other was really nice to see. (Like the skateboarding in the summer olympics). I have to say I am really enjoying the curling. Its taken a bit but getting to understand it and so excited for the aussie pair who won their first match today. Considering we don’t have a curling rink in Australia. It just goes a bit to late for me
Hi Mary, yes, the curling looks like the safest option, lol. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Jenny, I feel pain in my knees when watching the Moguls, lol. I also watched some curling because it’s relaxing. It is kind of like playing lawn bowls on ice. Yay for the Aussies winning a game! Thanks for commenting. 😊
Congralations to the winners!
I don’t watch the Olympics, but then, I really use the tv as background noise while I’m reading!! Sometimes I do follow the shows, but usually while reading!!
Congratulations to the winners. Yes, I watched some of the snowboarding and the aerial stunts, wow, they are something to watch , scares me just watching them doing those stunts. Have a great week and stay safe.
Hi Jcp, Thanks for stopping by. 😊
Hi Trudy, yes, I used to study for school and university with sports playing in the background. Cricket was the best because I only needed to look at the tv screen when the ball was being bowled, lol. I also read while my husband watches tv. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Alicia, yes, I think wow, and I also think about how I’m happy to watch from a distance! Enjoy your week and thanks for commenting. 😊
I love ice skating ❤️
I am not a fan of sports. I like to see where the USA stands in the medal count. Otherwise, I would rather be reading. Thank you so much for sharing. Congratulations to the winners. God bless you.
We don’t watch the Olympics at our house. The only sporting event we do watch is NFL football :-) That’s about to wrap up with the Superbowl this next Sunday.
Congrats to Renate & Judy on winning the gift cards! Looking forward to another great week here.
We don’t have a television so we don’t watch anything sometimes if we go to a hotel we might watch gymnastics or ice skating
Congrats to the winners
Hi Natalya, I love the figure skating! Beautiful to watch. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Debra, If I had to choose between the Winter Olympics and reading, I’d definitely prefer to be reading. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Trixi, Enjoy watching the Superbowl! Here in Australia, it’s the half time entertainment that will make the news. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Kendra, I like watching gymnastics and ice skating. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Hi Amy, Thanks for stopping by. 😊
