Goodbye 2014 & Hello 2015
We ushered out 2014 by playing some golf and ushered in 2015 by watching some football.
Life is good. 🙂
I am looking forward to the new year, but am sad that football season is almost over.
Today, the Big Ten held their own, with Wisconsin and Michigan State wins.
Unfortunately, Michigan was not in the playoffs.
BUT, if you noticed my golf “uniform”, I was thinking GO BLUE, while waiting for confirmation that Jim Harbaugh is now our new coach.
I am very excited and looking forward to next season.
WOLVERINES!!
And now, I am watching Oregon and Florida State, but I am really looking forward to the Sugar Bowl, Alabama vs Ohio State.
Since Ohio State is Michigan’s nemesis and Mr Wonderful is Alabama Alumni ~ ROLL TIDE.
Happy New Year
My Adventures ~ Christmas In Biloxi
My Adventures – Christmas on the Gulf Coast
THE FUNDINS HAVING FUN!!!
Round one of our golf outings was my lowest score in a very long time.
I hit 100 on the nose and did 44 strokes on the back nine. YAY!
We also watched a lot of football and decorated for Christmas.
It seems like I just keep adding this and adding that.
What have you been up to?
ROUND TWO
WE HAD TO STOP IN AND WISH THE ALIENS HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Gulf Breeze is a hot bed of UFO sitings.

My Adventures #15 – Thunder on the Gulf
The weather has been beautiful, but very hot here on the Gulf. That does not stop us from enjoying outdoor activities.
There is always something going on here in our little piece of paradise:
Where thousands live like millions wish they could!!!
This weekend, Flora-Bama is sponsoring the 2014 Thunder Run Superboat Grand Prix.
The Gulf Coast Powerboat Association has put together the inaugural dual race format.
There are two races, in two cities, in two states – Orange Beach, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida.
Mr Wonderful and I went to downtown Pensacola, where the event was being held for day three of the Flora-Bama Shootout.
These are some of the fastest and biggest power boats in the world.
There are many classes of boats, but the main styles are Vee Bottom Boats and Catamarans.
The air is thick with moisture, making it hard to breath and we are immediately dripping wet. It is the cheapest sauna I have ever been in. LOL
We take our time as we walk through downtown and checking out all the action.
I love boats and I love speed. These amazing power boats put on a performance that had my heart pounding and my body vibrating with the roar of the engines. To watch the rooster tails shoot out of the water as the boats thunder by makes me wonder what it would be like riding along on race day.
Even though it was only practice, they put on a great show.
We wandered through Race Village, able to check out the boats up close and personal.
Music was playing and a good time was had by all.
Mr Wonderful freelances as a producer/director for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, our minor league baseball team. They delayed the game today, Sunday, due to Thunder on the Gulf. He will be going back to the races, then working the ballgame, so I chose not to go. That’s why I am sitting in my recliner, watching football (yeah, it is finally football season, lol) and blogging to you.
What did you do this weekend?

My Adventures #9 – Outdoor Fun
Mr F and I were out playing golf with some friends, just having a little fun.
The day started out in the 40s and ended in the 70s.
I played pretty well, but even a bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work!

Sunny Florida turns into a Winter Wonderland – My Adventures #7
I would like to welcome you to my world, the Sunshine State of Florida.
I looked out my window this morning, hoping for some sunshine and…..
So Mr Wonderful and I went out to shoot the Ice Storm of 2014.
I thought Michigan was the Winter Wonderland, but I guess Mother Nature wants to keep us on our toes.
I don’t think we we will be sailing any time soon.
The flamingo below was relocated to Florida via Cape Cod, Mass and Rochester, New York. She is not a stranger to cold weather, but I don’t think she ever expected this.
The birds won’t be bathing today, but come back tomorrow and it will be in the 40s with sunshine.
The plants don’t know whether it is spring, fall or winter. One day a bloom, the next……
We took a lot more, but I think you get the DRIFT.
Thank you for visiting the Fundins.
Y’all come back now.

My Adventures #6 – Go Daddy Mardi Gras Parade
Welcome to the Gulf Coast.
The Go Daddy Bowl football game was held in Mobile, Alabama this past week. The teams:
Arkansas State 23 vs Ball State 20
A Mardi Gras Parade was held in their honor.
Boston Red Sox pitcher, Jake Peavy, also put in an appearance and rode in the lead car.
Mr Wonderful, my hubby, is an avid Red Sox fan, so had to arrive early enough to catch Jake Peavy before the parade began.
He was super excited to meet Jake, who signed a couple balls for him and posed for some photos.
It was a little chilly, but who can resist a parade?
There were trains, mermaids and dragons.
Mardi Gras began in Mobile, Alabama in 1703 and is the oldest United States carnival. Mardi Gras season is just around the corner, so come on back. I have a lot more to show you.
Mardi Gras is the biggest party I have ever been to. How about you? What’s the biggest party you ever attended?
I have been to a lot of parades and balls, with plans to be there for many more. I even posed with a dragon once, but that is a story for another day.

My Adventures – A Winter Wonderland – Niagara Falls
I am a sun lover, so when I lived in Rochester, New York for ten years, I had to come up with something that would get me outside.
My love of photography came to my rescue.
It didn’t make me forget about the cold, but it did give me the incentive to venture out. Especially, when there are scenes like the ones below to capture my love of nature.
Niagara Falls in Winter (c) Sherry Fundin
 The ice and snow covers everything in a beautiful white blanket and the world around me seems silent.
The power of the water is mesmerizing.
I feel alone, as if the moment was created just for me.
