I'm posting some more of the photos of my new curtains and carpet. The have really brightened up the room - and the new blinds in the dining room look great!I just finished watching Auburn win against Southern Miss. We decided to skip going to the game this week and chose the TV viewing instead. Auburn's offense looked much better this week and was able to at least move the ball, even with the fumbles and interceptions. We'll be planning to cook for the next home game against LSU in two weeks!
It's been a good football weekend! Hartford beat Kinston last night at home -- our first win! The Bulldogs are struggling this year -- but it's always great to see our niece Jessi cheer! I look around at the games and feel so OLD! I just don't know any of the kids any more!!!
The other night I watched the old movie "Father's Little Dividend" with Spencer Tracey and Elizabeth Taylor. That is the original of "Father of the Bride II," and if you haven't seen the original version, you need to. Since our daughter Casey informed us of her pregnancy a few weeks ago, it gave me new insight into our feelings of impending "grandparenthood" and the funny feeling you get when you know your child is going to have a baby! Of course, we're extremely excited about getting to be grandparents -- our first time -- but you feel so old thinking about your children having children!!! And then I watch commercials with babies in them and think about getting to love on our grand-baby soon!
This is one of life's exciting changes! I admit to being a bit down lately about being overloaded at work. But getting to make some changes in the decor at home and this exciting anticipation has helped to put things into perspective.
Tonight we'll have our weekend staple for dinner -- Oak Grove shrimp! I've missed it the past couple of weeks, and no one fries shrimp quite like Mrs. Jean at Oak Grove. We like to call it the Oak Grove Mall -- but it's just a little country store converted to restaurant about a mile from our home. The decor isn't chic -- but the food is great!!! And the fried shrimp is our favorite -- and only $9.95 for a whole fry dinner including home-made french fries, the best tartar sauce around and cole slaw.
