Linda Loves Life

Andrew, Joe’s young cousin, is a compliance officer for LSU in Baton Rouge.  He met us in Gainsville and arranged for tickets so we could all go to the basketball game.  Basketball is definitely my favorite sport – and since we were in a group of VERY few LSU fans that night, our faces often [...]

Joe is in Australia!  Jeff, his son, and his wife, Caroline, plus kids Jackson, Hollie and Brynn are living in Sydney for two years.  Joe is not only with his #2 son’s family, but his #1 son, Joe Jr. with sons, Trey and Camden are also visiting.  Joe is in “grandpa heaven” right now!

Joe, Matt, AJ and I went to the first game in the new FAU stadium.  It is a very beautiful 70 million dollar facility.  The weather was perfect, the seats were great, and there was lots of excitement!   BUT, the boys stood in line for 45 minutes to get a funnel cake – only to be told that [...]

AJ – basketball Adam – football Matt – basketball Johnny – baseball Oklahoma vs. Florida State tonight!

The first football game was Sunday – and the worry begins.  Drew’s team, the Colts, (which Karl coaches), won 7-0, BUT there were three  kids with injuries – an ankle, a knee and a bump on the head.  Football is definitely NOT my favorite sport . . .

Since today was the last day of my vacation, I had lunch with all my grandchildren, (plus one extra kid), Terri and Shirley.  We ate at the Golden Corral where the kids can get whatever treats they like best.  Desert is often enjoyed the most, but the Mac & Cheese is a big hit, along [...]

Welcome to LINDA LOVES LIFE!!!! What a wonderful thing technology is!  I am so happy that I have lived long enough and  ”can be taught”  enough to enjoy the benefits of something so special as my very own website.  Keeping my site current is  constant, and sometimes overwhelming, but always a positive challenge because it forces me to reflect and be [...]

The kids are growing up so fast!  Kyle and Adam will be in 8th grade at Boca Middle School this year.  Drew will be in 5th grade at Caloosa and Shannen in 3rd at Banyan Creek.  Where are the years going??

First there was one, Shannen.  Then came Drew, that made two.  Today my quotient doubled again and it equaled four!!!  It was fun - we all went to see Harry Potter.  Intense movie, very intense . . .  I have now delivered all four to their respective homes – and I am stretched out on my [...]

We had dinner – I cooked and they liked it!!  Next, we went to the pool until the storm clouds rolled in, and finally, we had the highlight of the evening – the chocolate, caramel milkshakes!!  Both kids perfected their rendition of “Chop Sticks” on the piano, and Shannen taught Drew how to play Solitaire on [...]
