On Saturday, we were invited to a most fantastic Gator-Dawg tailgating/birthday party for little Georgia Grace, who is the daughter of Brad & Wimberly Brackett--Wimberly works at the district with George. As you can tell by the invitation, they are Georgia Bulldog fans through and through!
But Wimberly was kind enough to have blue plates along with the red, and put one or two blue and orange balloons outside so that we would know where to go. 
Lots of friends came by who certainly showed their true colors--one guy didn't want to look for or against either team--although I think he was truly a Gator beneath it all.
Even the little kids got into the big game spirit! Here is Isaac with a little Bulldog fan.
The guys enjoyed a little football out on the lawn and were joined by Wimberly and Cassie.
Then Jeff and Amy and Craig and Cassie went downtown Jacksonville to the bigggggg game! Yes, like I said, no tricks--just a great treat when the score was Gators - 49 Dawgs - 10!!!!
We also heard that BYU won. What a great day!
After going to a wedding reception, George and I and the kids met Jeff and Amy and Craig and Cassie at a barbecue place and had a little pre-birthday dinner for George--his ?????? birthday. Craig and Cassie gave George a new Gator shirt. He certainly needed one!
Sunday, November 2nd, is actually George's birthday. After church, Amy and I fixed a big birthday dinner for George--his favorite, a roast beef dinner. Then we had the birthday cake. Believe it or not--this is only a third of the candles that should have been on the cake! But he's not getting older, he's just getting better! What a great weekend!
