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..
this first pic is a hay roll we found outside W-mart, just made me giggle...too cute
next we have Cumberland falls, it was terribly rainy, cold, but that didnt stop us warm weathered idiots, from experiencing it.... a couple of men, were prepping their kayaks for a fun trip down the river...NUTZ if you ask me, the high temp that day was 43...
beautiful colors above the falls...can not say enough...
I fell in love with the barn, & house. This was located in the city were Cboi attends college. They have the best view in town..the second pic is a cat...He was keeping a eye out for us....I imagined him saying..HOOMANS, look out....(he's the lil black dot..)
Here is my sis & Eldest tail-gaiting before the game!
this was so cute, the band dressed in various Halloween costumes. This girl was Wilma Flintstone, I didn't know her, but thought her costume was the best!
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...
Here is Eldest waiting for his brother to appear after the arse whoopin we gave to the opposing team...55 to zip!!! Nice...
Here we are with Cboi's girlfriend Lil Bit...aint she the cutest....love her!!! Hate that "hoody"...grrrr lol
It was a long drive, but honey pack your bags...I want to go back.....lol
Not only were the colors in our small NC town wonderful this year....but....everybody at the bank knows my name....!!Gott'a love these mountain small towns...

Ahh such a nice entry. Loved the pictures. We usually get to FLorida before seeing the change, then back after the leaves are back where they are supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteLoved the water/falls shots.

Looks like a fun trip!! I can't believe CBoi is a senior already, I know I said that before, but I still can't believe it! Neat that you guys could get away and be with him during this special time! I have heard about the Cumberland Falls; hubby's parents have talked about it many a time, but never saw it myself; looks like a great place to visit!!
ReplyDelete(love what you wrote on my recent blog post; God does give us those signs, doesn't he? So sorry about your situation; will keep you in my prayers)
betty
I love the sweatshirt! Looks warm and colorful. I also love your nails!!
ReplyDeleteWe have that senior night too where all of the band and sport seniors walk with their parents on the field at halftime in front of everyone. It gave me hives when I did it with the big one and next year I have to do it again. I am antisocial.
