A rare treat: bringing home the trophy from a bonspiel 🥌🌪️
A trophy on a coffee table amongst other stuff you'd find on a coffee table. The trophy has a base with a curling house (concentric blue, white, and red circles), on top of that is a curling stone and out of the stone sticks a wire that coils around in the shape of a funnel (like a tornado). From the wire hangs a Lego figure, a plastic monkey, a small dog, and a small car. On the bas also has a Lego figure on its back. The stone reads "Oklahoma Curling" while the base reads "2025 Funspiel A Event Winner"

I'm teaching myself to make espresso with this portable espresso maker because I'm ready to have better travel coffee than hotel lobby coffee. It'll even heat the water itself! I might end up just traveling with a pourover cone in the end though
Two gray cylinders in a hand. One has a button on the front (the coffee brewer), the other has a knob attached to the top (the hand grinder).

Last shot in a short league championship game, we're red and need to score to win. The seemingly obvious draw wasn't there because hockey ice but this angle raise with a redirect was
A depiction of a curling scenario showing yellow sitting at least one point (maybe 3). Two yellow rocks sit top 8 and several guards sit in front of the house on various lines preventing any obvious raise or takeout. Lines depict a shot coming in, raising a red center guard at an angle towards the side of the house then redirecting off a yellow rock to go towards the tee line instead, stopping just in time to be shot.

Mine came in today (or maybe yesterday)
Four pouches of coffee held up, fanned out, in one very full hand. They have similar black and white packaging. The top package labeled "La Virgen" and describes itself as the caffeinated offering. You can't see much of the lower packages or read their labels.

They asked me to fill out a survey about the fan experience watching Pro Volleyball Federation games in Omaha. I tried to answer honestly
A snippet of an online survey. The highlighted question reads “What was your favorite part about your experience this season?” The highlighted response reads “Watching Betty De La Cruz's serves put players on the ground.”

The Aksarben Curling coffee mug:
- bright bold logo
- red handle and lining
- holds coffee

I have a couple new ones going in our bonspiel raffle next weekend. Does your club have coffee mugs? Help me fill my shelves with too many mugs! 🥌
A white coffee mug sits on a napkin coaster on a cluttered desk. The mug has a visible red handle and rim, as well as a large print of the Aksarben Curling logo, with the name in white text in a red outer circle and the crest of a shield, a curling stone, and crossed brooms in the middle.
