Sunday, January 23rd was the playoff game between the Bears and the Packers. Rick, Dick and Donna are HUGE Bear's fans, so, of course, we had a party!

 Pre-game: Great weather, in Gulf Shores, anyway, not in Chicago! They had a high of 26 degrees.

The game begins and of course we had plenty of snacks and drinks!

Although we had to say goodbye, for now, to our friends Ruth and Wendall, another of our Illinois friends came to Gulf Shores this month. Troy (and his dog, Lucky) arrived in January! We went to lunch at Tacky Jack's 2 after taking a drive out to Fort Morgan. We still didn't take 'the tour' there but hope to do so soon.

....Troy, striking a pose!

...and the view today.

These old barracks are along the road just before you get to the ferry and Fort Morgan 'proper'.

The food wasn't great but the view of Mobile Bay was!
