R I P Jimmy Buffett

Ya can’t go into a bar on the Gulf Coast without hearing a Jimmy Buffett song. We have seen him numerous times and it was always a pleasure to sing along and share the love. I love his passion for the Gulf Coast and conservation. He will be missed.

Hi Everyone. It’s been a pretty quiet week. We had anticipated some fallout from Hurricane Idalia, so we burnt the ‘twig’ pile and Mr Wonderful got the generator going. It’s best to be prepared. We are always stocked up on some essentials, with a supple of soup for me and canned ravioli with vienna sausages (ew) for Mr Wonderful. Our thought go out to those who were in Idalia’s path. It could have been us, though nothing happened here. I had not added water to the pool, or worried about cleaning it, because I figured I would have to do that after the story. I ended up adding water and it was a quick cleanup because it missed us.

We had a friend from Atlanta stop by…and a friend here in Pensacola that we haven’t seen in a while.. I am quite the loner, nowadays, but it was good to see them and I had a great time visiting.

The college football season is starting off with a rousing blowout win for my Wolverine.

Hi Everyone. Well, we went to my mother in laws for Thanksgiving. There was good and bad. My lions…lost 14 to 16. The turkey was fantastic! I enjoyed myself, but in the back of my mind was Covid. It hit close to home for the first time. A relative of my husband’s passed away. She was vaccinated, but some of those around her were careless about taking precautions. An unnecessary loss…so…a reminder to everyone…even if you are vaccinated, you are not safe.

College Game Day was in Ann Arbor Michigan…YAY! And….ta da…Michigan prevailed. Ohio State was handed its second loss, courtesy of the Wolverines. It will be fun to see how the final four shapes up on December 5th.

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Hi Everyone. Can everyone say GO BLUE? Okay, I’ll let you slide. After all, not everyone routes for University of MIchigan college football. Do you like Wolverine? Lions? Panthers? Jaguars? Any dangerous critters or big cats? I am creating this post while watching Iowa and Iowa State. Iowa is a sneaky team and all too often underrated, but I think Iowa State is the underdog, so I’ll be routing for them. Seems like it will be the best game for this time slot. I already watched Ohio State go down, Oregon reveling in the win…and that was well worth the watch. LOL They are our biggest rival and we have yet to beat them under Coach Harbaugh’s reign. Two thumbs down for that. And…I was routing for Pitt in the Pitt vs Tennessee game. Got pretty ugly in that last quarter. A day of upsets…as long as it doesn’t happen for the Michigan vs Washington game. I think we have a good team and we can take them down. 🙂

It is sunshine and unicorns today. Not a cloud in the sky and the weather is in the 80s.

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Sunday Post #431 August

Hello fellow bloggers. Today, Saturday, is a beautiful day. The sun is shining and there is a light breeze. I’m watching some college football. It is such a trip. So many games keep getting cancelled or postponed because of Covid. The pandemic has been a boon for some of the lesser teams. I mean, who would think that Liberty and Coastal Carolina would be ranked higher than Michigan. Oh, and Jimmy, sorry, but you have to go. Michigan has been playing terrible. The coaching sucks and the players act like they just don’t care. It’s been interesting watching, but the National Championship? I love that they are playing, but I think it is ridiculous, as the pandemic rages across the country.

I am getting down about not being able to go to the beach and grab some wings at Hooters, watching the waves break on the beach or going to my favorite Mexican restaurant.

Of course, I keep forgetting to share my Hurricane Sally photos, but the hurricane took out the new bridge to the beach and it is about an hour there and back. It will be like that for the next six months. So glad we decided not to live on the beach. Maybe we’ll hop down to Perdido Bay and do our Christmas photo this year, instead of Pensacola Beach.

Mr Wonderful has been working a lot of freelance. They held the Sunbelt Soccer and Volleyball tournaments over in Alabama, which is close to us. I am sure this was only done because of Covid, but with him being out of work and his last paycheck coming in December, we will gladly take it. This is one of those situations, when a door closes a window opens.

Even though it may not feel like it right now, this too shall pass. So keep the faith and stay safe.

Wolverines, Elephants, Lions and Jets, Oh My!

Meet Big Al

I am so excited! Football season has arrived and I know where I will be spending a lot of time. Oops, I already do…in my recliner. 😀

We have divided allegiances here at the Fundin household, but most of the time we don’t play each other, so it’s a moot point.

I am able to root for my Wolverines and Mr Wonderful’s Tide and enjoy every minute of it. We do have more Tide paraphernalia around the house, probably because we live next door to Alabama and Mr Wonderful graduated from the university.

We start off our college football Saturday with…

The same goes for my Lions and Mr Wonderful’s Jets. Unfortunately, we both have a lot of disappointing Sundays, but you never know what the new season or the next week might bring and I am looking forward to finding out.

Season opening games begin on Thursday, September 8, 2016, but both our teams begin on September 11, 2016

A lot of football fans watch one or the other, college or professional. I love them both, but there IS something special about college football.

Do you watch football? Do you have a preference?

If you don’t watch football, what is your sport of choice?

Have a great weekend, no matter what your plans are!

Are You Ready For Some Football – A House Divided

Posted on by

It’s been a long month as I eagerly waited for football  to begin. And what a great way to “kick-off” the college football season.

 My husband, Eric, and I out on the town to watch the game. Check out the score, 41-14. Unfortunately, we got slaughtered, but Alabama is the National Champion of 2012.

Eric and I went to New Orleans for the 2012 Sugar Bowl, with underdog Michigan taking out Virginia Tech, 23-20.
