Coming Home

There's just something about a small town in the fall.  Even if it is 87 degrees.  But no matter.  When we heard that the Louisville Crouches were heading to Murray last weekend for Murray State's homecoming, we decided to meet them there for a little cousin-bonding time.  As luck would have it, it was also Murray High's homecoming, so we left Memphis extra early on Friday so that we could make it to the football game.  It was great to be back in Ty Holland Stadium being serenaded by the lyrical game calling of Roy Weatherly (football is not football without his voice).  However, my cheap date didn't even get me a mum!

What?  Your high school homecomings didn't feature this tasteful expression of teenage affection? 

Anyway, Josh and I got to hang out with some other members of the MHS Class of '93 after the game and Walt, Collier and Kellen got to go home and wear out Gram and DeeDaddy.  (Thanks, mom and dad!)  Then we were off to the homecoming parade the next morning, Pagliai's for lunch, and Dairy Queen for dessert.  A Murray triple-header if ever there was one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Levitt Shell Rocks

This is the Levitt Shell.  It is awesome.  Free music, five shows a week for five weeks this fall.  Seriously, if you live in Memphis and you haven't been yet, well, you missed out on one of the best things Memphis had going this late summer/early fall.  "Missed" -- past tense --  because this was the last weekend for shows this year.  (I think they start back up in the spring.)  We made it to four or five shows and I still feel like we didn't take full advantage of this great new venue.  It's about two miles from our house, has plenty of room to spread out blankets and picnics, and attracts all of our favorite people -- we never go without seeing about a dozen families we know!  So I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Mortimer and Mimi for their wonderful contribution to our fair city.  It rocks!
