10 June 2026 Sanford: Summer League Basketball

 

Jaxon is in between 8th and 9th grade.  He came off a great sports season where he won the best athlete award at his Junior High.  Now it is time for the Eustis Summer league and these pictures are from two different games.  Wednesday night is game time and even though $10 each for attendance is steep, the action is non-stop.  We had a blast hooting and cheering Jaxon on.

7 June 2026 Sanford: Happy Birthday Lily

 

Having a blast at the same restaurant that we went to after Cooper graduated.  It was Lily's 21st birthday celebration and it came with a flaming sparkler, a sombrero and a free shot of tequila.  We had 17 folks in attendance and it was a great time.  We were on the end with Lindsay, Matt, Linda and John and had a chance to catch up with everybody at this end.  It is the third Sunday in a row that we saw Linda and John.

31 May 2026 Sanford: Dance Like a Flamingo

 

Linda, Erin's mom, alerted us to a show in downtown Sanford.  It was presented by two local groups that teach and nurture Flamenco lovers both young and old.  The dancers had a pair of sisters together with a mother daughter team.  One soloist could very well be a professional dancer.  Most of the dances were groups of people but it was the tiny ones that got the loudest applause.  At intermission some of the smaller kids were able to go into the crown and sit with their family.  After the show we walked over to dinner.

Downtown Sanford has a cool vibe 

We are early, go figure
