With my new house being finished and
getting settled in, I had Dad and my brother David over for dinner on
Thursday night which I do most every Thursday since
(now June 2019). For
Thanksgiving I had all the
local family over for dinner.
I went with my Dad to the anual Florida vs. Florida State game Saturday
after Thanksgiving. It was kind of sad when my Dad turned to me
and said "This might be the last game I go to." Dad has had season
tickets for over 40 years. I was happy to hear when I wrote this
(June 2019) that he had bought tickets for the upcomming season and was
talking about going.
With
Christmas came the getting together with family, here is my uncle Jim
and uncle Cork in the forground and their wife's Sue and Connie at the
stove and cousin Sara on the right. One of the things I treasure
the most in returning to Gainesville is the time I get to spend with
family.
As the year closed I often sat on my back porch watching the sun set. It was a good year.
