Blue seems to be a popular color so don't miss the blue shared with Sally today.

 

**************************************

 

The time has arrived for the University of Florida Gator football games.  Many of you already know that we have season tickets with two of our daughters and their husbands.  We have been going to these games for 25 years.  We are a family of Gator fans to say the least.  This year two of our grands are now attending their sophomore year at U of F.  Now we have the additional thrill of  visiting our grands while attending the home games.

 

Last Saturday was the first game of the season and this happened.

 

 

The Swamp became just that on Saturday night, canceling Florida's opener.

 

Our children and grands were at this game in the pouring down rain waiting for the game to begin. We made the decision to 'not' attend that game and I don't have to tell you we were happy with that decision. Yikes.

 

To say we are huge fans is an understatement.  The followings photos tell the story of the

family Gator love.

 

'THE ROCKING CHAIR'

 

 

This chair does not match a single piece of furniture on our deck. Do we care...nope?

Cody and Ashley, our grands who are in their sophomore year.

 

Bill and I at a Gator game touching the gator for good luck.

I could go on but you get the idea!

Happy Blue Monday.

Blessings and love,

JEANNE

Yikes is right on that lightening strike! How nice that you can visit with your grandchildren while watching the game! Love the chair!

Morning Jeanne,

I love that rocking chair. Go Gators! We have to get our Gator grandkids together! My daughter hosted another lunch yesterday. Thanks for making Blue Monday special.

Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!

Love the rocker, Jeanne! And I had to smile at all the pics with the exception of that scary lightening. Yikes!

I loved the shot of you and Bill petting the gator. Haven't seen that before, but I am from the other school, though I am an Auburn fan! So the blue and orange works for me. Plus I am partial to gators. I am a devotee of two TV shows, "Downton Abbey" and "Swamp People".

What a cute blue rocker....:)

Love that blue rocker! Aggie fans at our house in Texas...actually because of my son in law and grandson. Their 73-3 victory on Saturday was a bit of a blowout.

Wow that is some lightening strike. Great family photos!

[LaVoice]

Glad you were able to share time with family and enjoy your team. That is an amazing shot of the lightening. Enjoyed seeing two of your grands. Very pretty and handsome.

Such fun to be a fan isn't it? Nick attends the Kans wesleyan University and they have "Yote" the Coyote for good luck. He is a beautiful statue that sits in the courtyard. They say during finals week everyone walks by and rubs his head! Hee Hee! That gator looks ferocious! Argh........
Always fun to see phamily photos with you Jeanne. enjoy your week.

Hugs, Anne
