Columbia SC - Cousins & Volleyball





On the spur of the moment we decided to travel to Columbia SC to see the Lady Gators Volleyball team go for a perfect 20-0 mark in SEC play. This is something no team has done since the league began round robin play 7 years ago. The team is awesome and the win likely will make them the #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. A few pictures of the team are posted on the facebook link.
I remembered that I have three cousins that live in Columbia, so with a little help from modern email and smartphones we were able to have breakfast together the next morning. The picture shows from left to right, Dale (Barbara), Beth, me, Carol, and Aunt Anne Mae.
Also, are some cool picts of the South Carolina State house and the holiday decorations. link to pictures:

Black Friday





Can't imagine standing, seating, etc., for hours or in some cases a day 1/2 to buy a TV from China or a drum set from Mexico. Anyway Sharon and I took a walk along Gainesville's longest strip mall tonight and it looks like Best Buy and Target are the winners. Here are a few picks of the midnight shoppers.
