I Love Autumn

 Wow! What a weekend of family and fun!!! Almost the entire family made it to town...we sure missed grand daughter #1...and once everyone arrived safely, the fun began and didn't stop until Sunday evening.

We started with our tailgate on Friday night. We do this every home game but this week was a "biggie" because it was homecoming. Daughter #3 and her husband really outdid them selves and had a whopper of a tailgate with the most incredible spread of food. I think almost everyone in the area stopped by and we probably could have fed everyone in the stands as well.

The Celtics are on a roll and had another great win!

We had an unbelievable night but it wasn't over yet. A bunch of the gang came back to my house for the evening and we managed to squeeze in a bit more fun before heading to bed so we would be ready for the next day!

Saturday morning came fast and we got ready to watch the Gator game before heading off to MCYFL where the Wildcats handily defeated the Cougars and, I must admit, grandson #2 was the star of the game. On the second play he ran over 80 yards for their first touchdown and then continued to throw and run for almost all of their other scores. He was really proud of himself and this was just the boost that this team needed!

While we were at the game with Hud, his mom and sister were off with Harrison taking homecoming dance photos. This was definitely one of those weekends where it would have helped to be able to be in two places at the same time. Lol

After celebratory dinners, we managed to sneak in yet one more viewing of Hocus Pocus so the girls felt like they got a bit of Halloween at Nana's.

Sunday morning we were all off to Gainesville to help my brother and sister-in-law take down a large brick planter and all that was in and around it. It was quite a job and I was very thankful for so many other younger, stronger bodies. The bricks got demoed and moved, the ground got leveled and the posts for a large pergola got erected. They still have a lot more work to do but hopefully it will be done and we will all be enjoying it come Thanksgiving!

Now the house is quiet again and I am catching up on some things around here before starting to get ready for a road trip with daughters # 1 and 3 and grand daughter #2. I love autumn....always such a busy time of year! Stay safe and stay tuned.
