A Fight, Football, and Family

This is the face of the 170 pound MMA champion. Ok, so maybe you don't know what MMA means - mixed, martial arts. Rob is one of those guys who gets in a ring, actually, a fenced in ring, and fights where anything goes. Rob's expertise is jujitsu and he has excelled at mma fighting because he is technique solid versus his opponents who are more of the 'brawler' type. You might think Rob looks bad, but he won. I wonder what the other guy looks like. Rob is the son of Nancy's sister Jane and husband Harvey. They live in Lincoln, Nebraska and Rob attends University of Nebraska.

Rob and his dad, Harvey.

When family is around, there is a lot of family history to examine. Nancy looked for boxes of family stuff in the attic.

Barbara and Kramer found a little time to nap.

The Champion needed some energy work from Barbara to heal his wounds from the championship bout.

Jane said - Don't take that photo.

Nancy and I attended the first football game of the season

We sit next to friends Diane and Rob and have done so for several years. Diane and I met in 1984 during our teaching days in Logan, Kansas, and have remained friends ever since.

I experimented with my camera during the second half of the game - after the sun went down. It was a little warm during the first half, but the second half was beautiful.

The sunset was gorgeous. I could not resist snapping a few photos. I do not know who that guy is in the photo. He just kept standing up.

More of the game and the beautiful sunset.

Nancy and Jane visited Uncle Ed in Boise, Idaho, last week. He is 91 years old and is in fairly good health and he is so much fun to be around. I hope I can be just like him as I grow old. He walks daily with a group called the Happy Hoofers. After they walk, he goes to Chew and Chat for breakfast and more talking.

Jane could not keep up with the 91 year olds. She needed her rest!
