Sherry’s Shelves – 7.4 – 7.10.21 #thesundaypost #thesundaysalon

Posted on by
Sunday Post

Hi Everyone. Well, I actually did something this week. I had Breakfast with the Blues on Pensacola Beach. I love the Blue Angels, the sound thumping through my body gives me a sense of excitement, putting a smile on my face, along with everyone else that showed up. the water was rough and the yellow flags were flying. Of course, noone can be in the water when the Blues fly. The bridge now has four lanes open, so it wasn’t bad getting to the beach. We are having the normal summer weather….hot and muggy with afternoon showers…sometimes.

I had added a bunch of photos by copying and pasting. Apparently WordPress hates that and funked it up, so if you would like to see them, hop on over to Mr Wonderful’s Facebook page HERE.

Stay safe.

Doo Dah Day Pictorial #doodahday #animals #photographs

I am experimenting with Nextgen Gallery. I have had it for a long time, just never really used it. Now is the time, seeing Mr Wonderful is scanning images from our photo albums before they fade too badly. Unfortunately, the negatives have become damaged due to all the humidity down here and it is even more important to save them now.

Mobile, Alabama holds a Doo Dah Parade every spring and these are from 1997. I can tell this was still in the film days, because I had to limit how many photographs I took due to cost. I still like film the best, but I can click away with digital and that is an advantage I revel in. There are ups and downs to everything.

This is a slide show, but you can click on the individual photograph to see it better, then scroll through them using the buttons below the photograph.

I hope you enjoy.

Mr Wonderful and I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Axel in October of last year. We have seen them in tents, in parking lots and in concert venues and have never failed to be amazed. The guy on the ice is the one singing. He is the star of the show, but….

This girl was his counterpart. The story is a romance…

If you look closely, you can see the live band playing on either side of the stage. I thought that was so cool.

I love the song, but the music video blew me away. I LOVE IT!

OF COURSE…we have to have a bad guy

We started out December with a couple quickie road trips and a family visit to Birmingham, Alabama. BUT the highlight was Orlando and the Citrus Bowl. It’s not very often Michigan plays Alabama and it has been since 1997, the Outback Bowl in Tampa, that we have battled. Alabama edged us out, 17 -14. We never made it to the Orange Bowl in 2000, where Michigan beat Alabama, 35 – 34, in an overtime showdown or their first meeting was in 1987, where we won 28 – 24. So, 2 out of 4 games ain’t bad. 🙂

BUT…before the game, we had some things to do.

And here we are at the Citrus Bowl in 2020.

It has become hard to carry my SLR cameras around, so we shot with our phones. Not too shabby. We left for home right after the game. We had a great time and I’LL BE BACK WITH MORE ADVENTURES, SO STAY TUNED. Until then, happy journeys to you.
