Yes, I love it. I haven't had much chance to post lately, I have a house full and last weekend was quite hectic.

I left last Friday to head to my brother's house (Tuscaloosa) for the weekend, my niece Avery was to be baptized on Sunday and the whole family was gathering for the event. Unfortunately the drive wasn't all that great. My nice little Honda decided to overheat and busted the top half of the radiator so badly that there was no choice but to repair it. I live on limited funds and didn't have the money to pay for such a costly repair. Thank God for family. My brother took care of it for me as well as coming to pick me up in Montgomery so I wouldn't miss any of the tailgating on Saturday followed by the game against Middle Tennessee.

My brother got some great seats this season! Right in front of the goal posts with no one in front of us to have to worry about looking over. As you can guess I was in heaven. First half was nothing to great to talk about, however as always the tide came back in the second half and took care of business. Great game, and I had a blast. I am sure glad my brother had that extra ticket, although I did feel somewhat the odd ball being the only lady out of the family to go to the game.

As I mentioned, I have a full house at the moment. My sister who lives outside of New Orleans is staying with me with her two kids and hubby. Actually my brother-in-law has to be at work on Monday, so they (my sis and her hubby) went this evening to get the minivan so when the power is restored in her area she will have transportation back home. It looks as if they plan to have everything in her area back up in running by the first week of October, although I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Thankfully her house was not damaged by the storm at all, no water damage and while all the trees around her house (just about) came down, nothing hit the house or garage, so they made it through the storm pretty unscathed.

There were two bus loads of refugees from the storm at the game last Saturday, and the University of Alabama donated the gate to the Red Cross, and Coach Shula matched the donation. Gotta love the Tide! There are still many out there in need of help, so as always contact the American Red Cross and volunteer, or donate some cash to help out.

Tide is up two games now..... :) Rooooolllllll Tide Roll!
