Wishing you a good day. This is sunrise in Biloxi, my first outing since the pandemic and our first vaccication.

I am experimenting with Nextgen Gallery. I have had it for a long time, just never really used it. Now is the time, seeing Mr Wonderful is scanning images from our photo albums before they fade too badly. Unfortunately, the negatives have become damaged due to all the humidity down here and it is even more important to save them now.
Mobile, Alabama holds a Doo Dah Parade every spring and these are from 1997. I can tell this was still in the film days, because I had to limit how many photographs I took due to cost. I still like film the best, but I can click away with digital and that is an advantage I revel in. There are ups and downs to everything.
This is a slide show, but you can click on the individual photograph to see it better, then scroll through them using the buttons below the photograph.
I hope you enjoy.

Mr Wonderful and I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Axel in October of last year. We have seen them in tents, in parking lots and in concert venues and have never failed to be amazed. The guy on the ice is the one singing. He is the star of the show, but….

This girl was his counterpart. The story is a romance…
If you look closely, you can see the live band playing on either side of the stage. I thought that was so cool.

I love the song, but the music video blew me away. I LOVE IT!
OF COURSE…we have to have a bad guy

Hope the new year has started out with a bang for you too. We could see the fireworks show happening at the parks from our hotel, the Rosen Inn in Orlando, Florida.












We started out December with a couple quickie road trips and a family visit to Birmingham, Alabama. BUT the highlight was Orlando and the Citrus Bowl. It’s not very often Michigan plays Alabama and it has been since 1997, the Outback Bowl in Tampa, that we have battled. Alabama edged us out, 17 -14. We never made it to the Orange Bowl in 2000, where Michigan beat Alabama, 35 – 34, in an overtime showdown or their first meeting was in 1987, where we won 28 – 24. So, 2 out of 4 games ain’t bad. 🙂

BUT…before the game, we had some things to do.

















THEN, it’s off to see some birds and gators…at Gatorland.


































































Mr Wonderful hunted down the pic from the Outback Bowl in Tampa in 1997. Nice comparisons. We haven’t aged a bit, have we? LOL


We stayed at the Rosen Inn and were in walking distance to the pep rally’s and all kinds of eateries and entertainment. Jim Harbaugh was supposed to show….but we all know how that goes. 🙁






Mr Wonderful is a babe magnet. LOL


We did a little tailgating before the game. A guy was going through the parking lot selling these baby yoda T shirts and I had to have one.











You can see the flyover HERE.

It has become hard to carry my SLR cameras around, so we shot with our phones. Not too shabby. We left for home right after the game. We had a great time and I’LL BE BACK WITH MORE ADVENTURES, SO STAY TUNED. Until then, happy journeys to you.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving…and for those of you, like me, who look forward to the football games as much as the family time…
GO LIONS

Sherry’s Shelves #200 is my blog update from 10.27.19 – 11.2.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS
Hi All. Glad to see you here. Halloween is over and I was glad to see we had more treaters than usual. We don’t get a lot so I hand out handfuls of candy. The only bad thing is, I eat almost as much as I give away. I LOVE chocolate. Time is going by so fast and the cooler weather is setting in. We had a lot of rain last week and needed it. Today the sun is shining and, even though it’s only 66 as I write this post, it feels warmer.

Well, that’s about it for this week. Leave a link and I’ll stop by and check you out.

LATEST HAPPENINGS
Hello fellow bloggers. I hope you have all had a great week, filled with family, fun and a lot of great books. Woo Hoo. Two weeks in a row. As the summer winds down and the pool cools off, I am still enjoying the warm weather and spending as much time outdoors as I can. I will be doing the October Blogger Shame challenge and hope to get a lot more late reviews done and finish out most of the year. I will still be plugging in some tours, I can’t help myself. It’s so hard to say no. LOL
Most of you already now about my vacation to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Boston and Cape Cod, but I thought I would share some more photos. You can see the pictorial tour HERE.





I have some great giveaways going on and a few reviews to share, so feel free to browse to your heart’s content.
