Last Ha-rah

We've got t-minus three weeks until the due date! 

This past weekend we traveled to Baton Rouge to watch the Aggies and Tigers play. The forecast leading up to the weekend left no room for mistaking its miserable possibilities. 

On our way to the stadium! 

The Blue Man Group.

 View from the upper deck concession area. A great sea of red roofs!! And the Memorial Tower!

Pregame

People came out, filling the stadium in the 50 degree, misty weather. We had tickets in the Aggie section. 

One fellow down the row let my mom and I know we were in the wrong section. I thought it but kept my mouth shut...he was in the wrong stadium. Better to win or lose quietly than win or lose like a loud jerk. There were a few other dimwits in the area. A few aggies and a few tigers. Just the way it goes when 90 thousand gather in one area.

The 1st quarter dragged on so long. So much back and forth with little to no success for either side. My mom looked at me and said, "we have not figured them out". 

Luck and preparation favored the Tigers that evening and made for a rather awkward couple of hours surrounded by let down fans. 

A fellow near us hollered out, "Come on, Johnny! It's cold up here!" and we all had a good laugh.

The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band took the field at halftime and did some cool stuff none of us had seen. I mumbled to Dan that I hoped they do the Texas "T" and let em all know where they're from...and they did!

With five minutes left in the game Mamaw stood up and had a look I have seen on Gran-gran many times. It is a look of determined, unstoppable resolution. She said, "Let's go", and so we went.

We came home in time to get Lily from the kennel and set up our Christmas Tree. We decided to pause for a moment at level one and enjoy a beautiful Christmas Bush.  

We have since added the last two levels. 

Thankful for this week! Happy Thanksgiving!
