Smokey Mountain Christmas

Recently we went to Dollywood to see some shows and the Christmas lights. In spite of the rain, we had a good time.

November in Review

November came and went and I did nothing!  Now I’ll try to bring you up to date on what we did during the month.

We were at A&M for a game without the Texas group…they had too much going on with high school football, etc.

Of course, our first stop was at Mo’s for bar-b-que.

IMG_0356

We watched the team walk in…

IMG_0322

and got to see Johnny giving a young man a high 5.

IMG_0324

The fly-over was during the team march since the game is at night. They played UTEP and it was Military Appreciation Day>

IMG_0329

Another great performance by the Aggie Band.

IMG_0335

The last home game for the year was against Mississippi State. and once again we started with food!!

IMG_0310

 

The team walk was so crowded that I couldn’t get any pictures.  But I did see one of my favorite people…

She and I had our picture made at Arkansas but the weather was so much better today.

IMG_0381

We visited the graves of the former Revilles.

IMG_0385

 

The band did another great job…what precision.

IMG_0392

The entire Corps of Cadets…

IMG_0396

It was an emotional game…possibly Johnny’s last game for

Texas A&M, the last game at Kyle Field in its present form.

It was fitting that it was the 700th win at Kyle Field.

IMG_0403

We went to Kansas City for niece Ashley’s wedding  in October.

I will TRY to do better about blogging, but I think that the

reason I have been negligent  about posting is because I put

things on Instagram. At least that’s the excuse I’m giving!!

The Rest of October

Before T’s birthday, I went to Texas so I could stay with the boys while the parents went away for a few days.

Got to see both of the boys play 2 football apiece.

Thursday night game for J.

An indoor tail gate party before we watched the A&M game on TV.
