Elle’s Final Birthday Sign Pic

I don't think they do these sign birthdays in high school.  Elle was reluctant to let me get a pic this year but she did it!  14 years old in her final year at Oak View!

Super Bowl News Coverage

The Gainesville Sun is on its last legs as a newspaper.  Here's an example from last year's Super Bowl coverage - note that there really isn't even an article on the game!  More recently, the newspaper has started deliverying through the mail only - meaning there is never any timely news.  We get the "Sunday" paper normally on Friday or Saturday.

The Little Brown Jug!

After losing a lot of skill / talent from last year's National Championship team, Michigan's big claim in 2024 might be maintaining the Little Brown Jug.

Piecaken Experiment

Bill and Olivia collaborated on a "Piecaken" for his birthday.  This one had a Thanksgiving theme featuring a pecan pie and a pumpkin encased within a vanilla cake.  Bill did not give the finished product high marks.

Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene brought a lot of downed trees and branches in our neighborhood.  Thankfully, it could have been much worse.

Starbuck's Elphaba’s Cold Brew - 1 Star

This drink did not do it for me. Hopefully the movie will be better than the drink!

Dolly Cake

There seem to be more and more of the Dolly branded items on the shelves.  We found this nearly a year ago at Publix and it seems to be a hit.  Note Pete laying in the back hoping to get some cake!

Happy Halloween!

2024 Vacation: Orlando

Our vacation started with a bonus because we got to see the Nebraska Tangemans because they happened to be on one of their grand Disney excursions.  Lots of fun!



Modified Beetle!

A friend bought a beaten up Beetle and converted it (with a kit) to a truck of sorts!

College Football is Back!

Michigan already has some of their 2023 season brags up!  And rightly so!  Go Blue!

Victorian in Alachua

Jack and I had dinner in Alachua a few months back and ran into this cool Victorian home (now a business I think) on the main street.

Animals!
