The two little guys and I went to Alabama to let the big guy have a couple of days off. We had a great visit except our team didn't do so well. We were 0-2 for bowl games this year. I have some good pictures from the Chik Fil A Bowl that I will have to get around to sharing this week. CBT is quite the photographer we're learning.
My parents have been having a get together for football on January first since I was in junior high. We still enjoy the opportunity to go back and participate. Of course, I took lots of pictures, but I really don't have any pictures suitable to put up from the actual get together because they are all of us either barking orders before people arrived, stuffing our faces endlessly, or napping. I quit taking pictures by the time the game got going because it was pathetic immediately.
I did take some cool shots outside before the festivities started, which will be posted on www.candisnaps.blogstpot.com, and a couple inside. One inside was of an arrangement my mom had made using some ornaments we had when I was just a wee child. While taking the picture, I realized that probably makes it an antique. In this picture, I remember both the gold and the pink balls from my childhood.
Now for an unrelated Public Service Announcement. If you have children - keep them close to you. We had a little incident at a BP station on the way back from Alabama. A man quite boldly came up to CBT in an attempt to move him away from where adults were standing. I yelled at him (as you can imagine.) I was really surprised at how gutsy he was so all you parents out there - I learned I need to keep a closer eye on my little ones than I thought I did.
Yikes! Good for you for yelling--and how spooky. I think this might be the thing that makes me most antsy when Brooks comes to visit - I'm not sure I have enough parental lookout antenna to be safe. And the next two are starting to want to stay with Aunt Molly. Stress level will definitely go up with 3 of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd lovelovelove the photo. Could we avoid this our childhood=antique talk? mm-kay.
WOW, I am so glad that you realized what was going on and was able to stop it. Chuck did want me to ask if it was here in Troy?
ReplyDeleteIt was very good to see ya'll yesterday and hopefully we will see you again soon.
No, at the Waugh/Mt. Meigs exit. I called the police after we left - long story but we didn't file a report because I was in the next county before she asked where I was.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS!! I read this post but must not have scrolled to the end. Actually, I think I clicked over to your photography site before I finished. Anyway, that is so scarey and I'm so glad that you yelled! Thanks for the warning!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your honey is cute. So is mine...I'm just sayin'.... ;-)
