Going....NORTH....yep

We had an excellent trip visiting Cboi..it was his last home game for the season.  HUGE moment, huge...give me a moment as I find a tissue box...

Ok...I'm back (lol)  Oh, the steps in life we must take...

I love the people from the south, such  warm, friendly folk. Their respective accents or drawls, are so harmonious to listen... In GA they called us baaaaby...so sweet. I asked to refill my drink...Dat's alright baaaby, you go right ahead.... In TN, when I went to grab a cookie in the hotel lobby...we were told, That's ok hon...  KY we were asked,  How youns doin?  Honestly, "they" had no idea how flippin cute they all are...lol

 

First of all, the fall colors thru GA, TN, KY were spectacular!!!! God makes the most beautiful paintings!!

 

The reds, oranges, yellows, mixed with various greens, browns, brilliant blue skies...takes you're breath away, all my "friends" north...Ya'll are lucky folk..

Since it was Cboi's homecoming game, it was also Alumni weekend, along with it being Senior day. We were the escorts for our (Oi, another tissue here) SENIOR aaaahhhh....ok, ok I'm fine really....sniff sniff...as they announced the SENIORS (sigh) on the team, they came out of the locker room, ran thru a tunnel formed by their teammates, then approached their escorts, we were to hug, arrange for a formal pic....here Cboi is approaching us...

Eldest has latched on for a hug..so cute...

here we are all together...now I must confess, I was told about this day, thus our reason for the visit.. so like the good shopper that I am, I found and purchase 2 outfits just to be safe...that being said, the "hoody" I'm wearing was NOT any of those outfits..I was to be "matching" my boys...I have a very cute mid cut, tux ruffle, maroon sweater, that would look ADORABLE for this shot.  I have no idea, where my brain was that day....Oi vei! on to the next pic...
