A Sunday Post

Hope you all had a great weekend. I've had a pretty nice one even though I really didn't do much. I don't have anything exciting to talk about tonight but I didn't want to miss a day posting, since I've been doing so good this month.
So.......there you have it, my Sunday post. Maybe tomorrow's will be more interesting.
Goodnight :-)

Still Love Them

I'm talking about, it's the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Today was the SEC Championship game and sadly we were defeated by those darn ole Florida Gators. Yes, I'll admit it...I'm a very sore loser.
Most people didn't give Alabama a snowballs chance at winning today, I'm so proud of Bama for playing such a great game, Florida won but I'll tell you it wasn't an easy task for them.
Now that we don't have a chance to play for the National Championship and since I'm such a sore loser I've just gotta shout "Boomer Sooner".

Rolllllllllllllllll Tide Rolllllllllllllllllllllll and keep your head held high, all your fans still love you and we're so proud of you! We all know you're the best !!!!!!!

My Great Great Grandfather

Your tombstone stands among the rest;

Neglected and alone,

The name and date are chiseled out

On polished marbled stone.

It reaches out to all who care

It is too late to mourn.

You did not know that I exist.

You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you

In flesh, in blood, in bone.

Our blood contracts and beats a pulse

Entirely not our own

Dear Ancestor, the place you filled

One hundred years ago

Spreads out among the ones you left

Who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved,

I wonder if you knew

That someday I would find this spot,

And come to visit you.

Small Town Christmas Parade

Tonight was our town's Christmas parade. Isn't it something how the coldest nights of the year always seem to be on parade night. We didn't get too bad cold though, we got there early enough to get a good spot to park so we could sit in the vehicle to watch the parade.

After we got parked I looked down to the car to our right and I felt so bad for pulling up there in my BIG vehicle, knowing I messed up them being able to see good. Molly didn't help the situation any when she looked at the little old couple in the car and said "Awwwwww Mama this might be their last parade". Things worked out ok though, us younger folks (me, Molly, Wes and Lindsay) were all sitting in the vehicle trying to stay warm and the older people were running grabbing the candy being thrown, haha ..... was cute to see.

Made me think, I hope me and my honey can be out at the age having fun, enjoying the parade and grabbing candy.

My MIL is in a club and their float won first place tonight (the photo below), it's the West AL Svc Club. You'll notice the manger in the photo, one of Molly's dolls had the honor of playing the roll of baby Jesus on their float. It was such a pretty float, the cross was just beautiful.

Sorry I don't have more pictures to share, I took alot but they didn't turn out good at all.

Feelin' Like A Blogstar

For those of you who missed out on all the fun yesterday over at SITS I hate it for you, it was such great fun. I did work so hard at it though I was up until probably 1 am Tuesday morning doing a little holiday decorating on my blog so all my new visitors would feel welcomed and hopefully want to come back and see me again, of course I also had to get my blog linked up with Mr. Linky, I was so proud to be #5 on the list, well you would know that ole Mr. Stinky Linky quit working and I had to email my link to that gals at SITS and after all that I was down to #85 on the list.
Of course I didn't win one of the great prizes that were given away, no surprise to me.
It was such fun to go check out all the other gal's neat blogs and leave them some comment love, I spotted quiet a few I hadn't seen before and will for sure have to visit more often from now on.
The best thing about yesterday, who doesn't just love getting comments on their blog? I know I sure do! Well check out my post below this one, yep...that's right, 77 comments! Woooohooooo .... I feel like a big blogstar or something. Thanks Heather and Tiffany for such a fun day and you truly gave lots of gals out here a SITSteriffic day!

Merry SITSmas

Christmas is a perfect time

To stop and reminisce

About the many hours we've spent

Discussing that and this-

The laughs, the smiles

That we have known

The wonderful things we've done

That make the friendship that we share

A very special one!
Have a very special Christmas, my friends
