If I had to pick one word that would describe the Thanksgiving weekend of 2008, it would be "soggy." We had overcast skies on Thanksgiving day, but beginning Thursday night, it began to rain and it didn't stop until Sunday morning when we came back to Mobile. The rainy days didn't spoil all of our fun however. Some of the guys hunted in the rain, but no bucks were in their sight.
Randall, Thomas and I were the first to arrive in Bladon. We went up on Wednesday to get things cleaned and ready for everyone on Thursday. Thomas went hunting while Randall and I cleaned and did things around the camp. After Thomas came back, we went to Coffeeville to eat hamburgers at the Dairy Bar. Morris, Julie and Ainsleigh arrived late Wednesday night. Brandon, Brittany and Ryleigh arrived Thursday morning, followed shortly by Mother, Daddy and Brad. Ryan, Elizabeth, and Carter stayed in Tuscaloosa and came in on Friday. Everyone brought a dish and we had more food than we could eat in a week! Randall fried two turkeys and we
had two hams as well. My parents and Brad went home late Thursday afternoon.
Friday, Morris, Julie, Brittany and I went on a shopping excursion to Gilbertown and Butler. We bought a few things and ate lunch at the Hardee's in Butler. It was nice just to get out of the house. When we got back to Bladon, Ryan, Elizabeth and Carter were there. Late Friday afternoon, Brandon's family and Thomas left and went back to Mobile. Ryan's family and Trey left on Saturday morning. They were all wanting to get back home to watch the Alabama-Auburn Game with friends. Morris, Julie, and Ainsleigh stayed and watched the game with us in Bladon and headed home right after the game. The game was great! Alabama won 39 to 0!!!!!!
Roll Tide!
Despite the rain, we still enjoyed the time with our family. Thank you God for all the blessings you have given me!
