I love football and have loved watching the playoff games. The Senior Bowl is right next door, in Mobile, Alabama, and I was able to catch a glimpse of the players during practice. I even got my picture taken with A J McCarron, an Alabama quarterback who has made it to the NFL. He plays for the Cincinnati Bengals and is doing a right fine job.

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 #16 – National Shrimp Festival

Mr Wonderful and I had no plans when we got up Sunday morning.

The sun was shining, the sky was a deep and clear blue, with white puffy clouds that look like cotton balls. The temperatures in the 80s.

We talked about what to do.

We love to drive out to the beach and cruise around, doing whatever strikes our fancy, but we saw that the National Shrimp Festival was going on.

We went last year, bought some goodies for our yard and tiki hut and enjoyed a great day walking around, so we jumped in the car and headed out.

Ice cold beer, the smells of food wafting through the air making us hungry, the crafts of so many wonderful and creative vendors, and just sitting and enjoying the sights and sounds was wonderful.

We picked up another flamingo for the yard, but I like it so much I don’t know if I’ll put it out there or not. I may find it a protected place in the house, so it stays as beautiful as it is now.

We bought some hangers for my hummingbird feeders.

I bought a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt with a Guy Harvey tarpon design on it, beautiful. If you haven’t heard of Guy Harvey, he is a famous artist that specializes in fish.

As Halloween approaches, I know summertime is running out.

I love 80 degree weather, living in t’shirts, shorts and flip-flops.

But, the cooler weather means more golf and football, and we wander the beach no matter what the weather.

See you on our next adventure.

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?
