Iron Bowl - Alabama 36 Auburn 0

The Iron Bowl is the common name for the annual college football game between the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn University Tigers. The series is considered one of the best and most hard fought rivalries in all of sports.

This year Alabama broke Auburn's six year winning streak with a 36-0 shutout. It was also Alabama's first win against Auburn in Tuscaloosa.

It's been such a great season for all of us Alabama fans.

We're anxiously awaiting the game against Florida and Alabama next weekend, even if Alabama doesn't win that game we still couldn't be more proud of our team!

Rollllllllllllll Tide Rolllllllllllllllllllll!

My Black Friday

I hope everyone had a nice Black Friday. Mine was pretty good, I got my Christmas present a little early. I should say Christmas and Birthday presents for the next few years!
I got a new-to-me vehicle .... it's a Toyota Sequoia. I hate having another vehicle pmt, it's been really nice not having one but my car was getting on up there in miles and with all we do with our antiques and the trips we have to make to the hospital for Molly's hospital stays I did need something bigger.
I'm sure we'll enjoy it, I just really hope the gas prices stay around what they are now and don't go back up.

Now about today - Rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Tide Rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

A Special Birthday

Happy birthday to my mother. Molly and I went and bought her a gift and card and took it to her this evening and visited with her for a little while. I think she was kind of bored and lonely since my dad had to work a really long day so she suggested me, her and Molly ride around looking at Christmas lights, there weren't alot up but we did see several.
After leaving her house me and Molly met Steve in town for supper at a Mexican restaurant, it was good but ughhhh not so fun getting home so late with so many things that need to be done. I'm such a procrastinator, should have made the cornbread today for my dressing tomorrow, of course I didn't though so in the morning I have to really get up and get on the ball. Thank goodness we're not having our Thanksgiving meal until tomorrow night when Steve gets off work so it will be nice not having to rush so much.
I will be so happy when my honey actually has a Thanksgiving and Christmas day off, just doesn't seem right with him being gone to work on those holidays. :-(

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving - Gobble till you Wobble! Haha .... that's probably what I'll do.

I Need Ideas !

I have signed up for a secret Santa Swap and I really need help with some ideas of what sort of gift I could buy. I need to spend at least $30 but don't mind if I go over a little.

It is really hard to think of something to buy for someone you don't know, I have visited this person's blog but really didn't get any hints as to what they may like. I have thought of a few things but then I think no I wouldn't be to excited about recieving that myself, then I'm back where I started from, wondering what to buy.

Help please.......any good gift ideas? I have gone shopping a couple of times but just end up going in circles. This was supposed to be fun, not cause headaches.

Happy Anniversary Mama & Daddy

On this day 41 years ago my parents were married.

Back in 1967 at the time of their marriage my mom was finishing up high school and my dad was heading off to Germany after joining the army. After my dad's return they moved from Alabama and made their home in Columbus, MS. In 1970 they brought a beautiful bouncing baby girl (that would be me, hahaha!) into the world, then in 1978 they brought another beautiful girl (my sister, Pam) into the world.

They are the grandparents of 8 , all the kids love them both but believe me I don't think there is another "Papa" in the world like my daddy.

In this day and time it is a real honor to say I have parents who have been together so long. I wish them many, many more years of happiness together.
