A beautiful day in God's Country
Saturday we journeyed to our alma mater - God's Country- for a football day out. It was an incredibly beautiful November day. Crisp, but not cold, and little wind. An early kickoff at 11:30am allowed us to enjoy ourselves there and also allowed time to accomplish a few things around the house that evening.
The "alpha cooker" did no smoking on Saturday. We would have had to leave town at O-dark-thirty to accomplish that! Burgers and brauts were the serving of the day.
Our boys journeyed in to the stadium, but although we had tickets, we sat outside (with drinks) and enjoyed the game on the satellite TV set-up that makes the tailgate party a true treat. A delay of 3 to 5 seconds from action in the stadium to what happened on the TV made sure we did not miss any excitement. The roar of the crowd and the sound of "pistols firing" let us know when my beloved Cowboys did something great or our team scored.
Sorry Bears - my Cowboys put up more points on Saturday than from something like 1973! I must be happy, happy, happy - the limelight does not often shine on my part of the state during football season.
Bowl eligible - woo hoo!!! I haven't convinced my husband that the boys would think that was an ok Christmas gift to travel with the team......even as much as they love to travel.
November days like Saturday make for perfect football.
A great day to "box-up" and save in my memories.
Some days I wish I lived in God's Country.
simple faith
