Harvesting Memories

I love the fall...football, crisp temps, chili, and holidays. My Prince Charming just thinks of deer season..which I hate...but it makes him happy. It has arrived in South Alabama..and just in time!
I'm not sure when it happened..but my baby boys are growing up. I seem to realize that alot more often lately. Today, I made a huge pot of homeade Zuppa Toscana..and it will give Olive Garden's a run for it's money..with a fabulous loaf of fresh bread from the bakery. Just as we were finishing up lunch, Granny & Nab came by for a visit. Since Prince Charming and I started dating, they have always lived at least 7 hours away..Jacksonville, FL then Los Angeles then North Carolina...but they have recently settled in Auburn..and the boys couldn't be happier. I think we have seen them more in the last 6 months then we did all year last year! My boys helped Daddy and Nab on a project, then picked up pecans for a while..makes my heart smile...did I mention I LOVE this time of year?

Now, Auburn football, Queso dip, and cocktail sausage...WAR CAM EAGLE!! And thank you, Lord, for your MANY blessings!

Reared Against the Sky...Proudly stands our Alma Mater as the Years go by...

So, this week was Homecoming at Bibb County High School, and the Class of 2000 celebrated our 10 year reunion. I swear you don't realize how much you miss people you haven't seen in 10 years, until you see them again. I miss those folks SO much. It was wonderful to see everyone! We started on Friday with the Homecoming Parade..

Followed by a tea hosted by the school, and our introductions during Pre-game...
We enjoyed each other's company til latenite at Randi's around a bonfire after that. Saturday morning started with a family picnic...bring the kids, eat barbecue kind of event...

We finished off with a Dinner Boat cruise on the Bama Belle..TOO much fun!

I miss these folks! And we won't wait another 10 years to get together again!
