U of F Homecoming

For the past few years we have made it a habit to attend the Homecoming festivities at the University of Florida. Both Delinda and I, as well as our two daughters, are all graduates of the good ole U of F and getting back to Gainesville once a year is always fun. We get four tickets to the football game and the Alumni Bar-B-Q (the O'Connell Center is inside and air conditioned and right across the street from the stadium) We take the motorhome and go up on Thursday and then just enjoy a couple of days relaxing and reminiscing as we stroll around campus and see all that is new...as well as all that is exactly like it was when we were there 45 years ago. Of course when the Gators play as well as they did last Saturday, it makes it an even more enjoyable time. Our daughter, Stacey and middle grandson, Andrew joined us on Saturday for the game...and this made things even better. Family...both natural and collegiate...make for a wonderful weekend.
