First, I want to thank those of you who suggested ways to find out if a close friend was attending the same party as I, without hurting her feelings if she wasn’t. Your suggestions were great, but my husband, being a typical guy, blatantly asked her husband if they were attending. Yes or no, no BS. They were! 
Second, the by invitation only Super Bowl party was a huge success! We had a wonderful table facing our new clubhouse TV, but barely anyone watched the game. We ate, drank, and socialized.
Our friends joined my husband, brother, and me at our table. In addition, our famous playwright and movie screenwriter and his wife joined us. I also made new friends and my husband and I were invited to play pickleball with them. Something new to learn!
So, I didn’t see the game, or commercials, or much of the halftime show. What a night!

What I'm wondering is how you are able to mylot when you said you were in jury duty, or was that only for the month of January?

@MarshaMusselman Huh? I haven't been called to jury duty for 15 years. Never had to serve.

Haha so I guess your husband has qualified for the diplomatic service whilst you hide under the table!

From what I heard on the radio, you didn't miss much as it seemed that many were disappointed. Better to talk to friends than to watch TV. You can watch the commercials any time.

@DianneN I think the game was only an excuse to have a party.

Men are not subtle 
. Well I'm glad your friends were invited and went. We saw it at my parents' house as we were also celebrating my dad's birthday. Rams are big here, but we're not big on football ... except we do watch Super Bowl for the commercials and halftime show at least . . . believe me you didn't miss anything

@DianneN I didn't realize you wanted the Rams to win - I would have thought Patriots because of the New England factor. Aw well, yep - Rams didn't win and lots of people are bummed out. The whole game and everything in between were blah anyway - partying and eating and chatting was much more worth the time!!

@much2say We strongly dislike Tom Brady and the Patriots, even though they are a New England team. We are NY Giants fans and the Giants won the last two Super Bowls against the Patriots and Brady they were in. We rooted for the Rams only because they were playing in the Super Bowl. lol. My husband was born and raised in NY and our older son lives there.
Besides, Dr. Jay is from Boston and a die hard Pats fan. Now we are sick that karma hasn't taken effect.

What a nice way to celebrate your dad's birthday. Sorry the Rams lost. I only get excited when the NY Giants are in the Super Bowl, since my husband and both sons are Giants crazy. Even though we are from New England, we dislike Tom Brady and the Patriots, so were hoping the Rams would win. I am happy that we partied and missed everything!
And thanks. I was very happy our friends were invited and were there.

I was going to say that surely that photo isn't of your clubhouse, so I'm glad I surmised correctly. I've never heard of pickleball before. At first I thought it was picketball and then read it again, unless your fingers added an extra letter pershaps? Is it a real game or more like arm or finger wrestling?

@DianneN I didn't think it would be, but you had me wondering for a little there.

Awesome picture. I heard from lots of my online friends that basically the game, commercials, etc. were kind of lack luster. I am glad it was a fun evening.

I didn't watch and am glad as most who did said it was the most boring game ever from pre game, game and even the half time show was a bust I heard (and the clip I saw made me glad I didn't) Going to check the link they have to see the commercials on line later
