Sherry’s Shelves #198 – Are You Ready For Some…Football & Freebies #football #freebooks

Posted on by

Sherry’s Shelves #198 is my blog update from 10.6.19 – 10.12.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hi All. I am watching College Gameday as I prepare this post. All I can say is GO BLUE. Do you watch football or have a favorite team? Well, not really a lot happening around the fundinmental household. Been doing some reading, some blogging, some yardwork and I had to visit the dentist. Man, oh man, do I hate doing that, but I have gotten much better. JUST DO IT and then it is done, instead of all the anticipation and dread by putting it off. We are getting some rain today. It’s just a drizzle really, cloudy and dark, but we so desperately needed it. I can’t even remember the last time it rained. Still warm and enjoying the outdoors. What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Football Pitfalls – Til the End by Joseph Patrick & Dennis Lowery @DennisLowery

Posted on by

Til The End by Joseph Patrick and Dennis Lowery is one of those books that I read in 2016, but never got around to reviewing. It’s not because the book was lacking anything.I think it has a powerful message to send to teens and young adults…maybe all of us.

Check it out for yourself and I would love to know what you think.

MY REVIEW

If you are a football fan, like I am, Til The End by Joseph Patrick & Dennis Lowery is one of those stories of privilege, coverups, drugs…all the negatives you hear about. One fatal mistake, doesn’t matter why, and the actions they take will come back to haunt them.

The repercussions are like the butterfly affect…a stone in the water and the ripples spread.

I started reading this and thought, this is a story for teens, it’s not doing it for me, BUT by the time I was done, I felt so sad for the young men. The story brought tears to my eyes as….well, I started to share waaaaaay too much.

I think all young sports players should take a look at Til The End. Maybe it should be required reading for school. Maybe we could all learn a lesson.

GOODREADS BLURB

Ryan, Tyler, Avery and Jacob are high school football stars. Everyone looks up to them. They’re living the life that young boys and men dream of and are right at the point of having it all: a state championship, college paid for, a chance for big money and even more glory in the NFL.

Hello fellow bloggies. I hope you are enjoying all the ghostly scares around the blogosphere. I have been busy with reading challenges, football, and Mr Wonderful. I took a road trip to New Orleans last weekend to watch the Detroit Lions lose to the New Orleans Saints. 🙁 I roared with the beasts, but the Saints came marching in and rolled right over us. We tried to make a comback, but we were just too far down. Last night I went to Cirque Du Soleil and saw their new ice show, yes we do have ice in Florida. lol  Well…on to the post, because it’s Saturday…and I have a lot of football to watch. I have my fingers crossed that Michigan will put the beatdown on Penn State. GO BLUE! Have a great weekend.

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

Posted on by

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
