Go Gators!

Sept. 1, 2012
Opening day of the season for the Florida Gators, and my friend Kelly wasn't going to use her tickets. Mike and I snatched them up and I went to my first Gator game. It was a beautiful day, the seats were awesome, and the Gators won--the trifecta :)

Bowling Green gave us a scare, but the Gators pulled it out. The highlight was probably Caleb Sturgis' 51-yard field goal. Too bad it was on the other end of the field from us.

Noise was made.

Some Gators got up and went.

You Know It's Bad When...

...Rainbows are out of business :(

Receding Waters

Strangely enough, after all the rain we had, the construction area at Gainesville Health and Fitness Club has less water in it than it did when they started the job. Charles and I were working next to the big windows upstairs and I had a good look at the smaller puddle.

Resistance Is Futile

I had made so much progress while cleaning out the bedroom with cleaning stuff out and sorting things, I decided to tackle the kitchen cabinets. I knew there were a lot of things we never used and I wanted to get rid of them. By the time my knees could not handle one more time up and down the stepladder, I had gotten a boxful of things ready to be donated. This one however, I'm keeping:

This is the top of a big cup, and the straw was supposed to stick out of the Borg head. I don't recall what happened to the cup and straw; all that was left was the head in the corner of the cabinet. I moved it to my desk, next to my Yoda :)

No Isaac

I don't remember what happened this day, except that Isaac did not hit us. It turned to the west and headed straight for poor New Orleans.

Isaac?

Still Tropical Storm Isaac at this point, but we were getting prepared to get hit with a lot of rain. We had candles at the ready, enough bottled water for a few days at least, and food that didn't need to be microwaved :)

Welcome Back

First Lutheran held a church picnic and festival this afternoon after the late service.

Happy Birthday Dad!
