Homecoming, Krystal, Downtown Bon Aqua, and Mums,
DJ used to love to play football
for the school but the last two
years he has not wanted to.
But, Braden has played baseball
for years now, and he will be playing
spring ball with the school when spring
rolls around.
With that said, I have no grands
playing sports, but that did not
stop me from wanting to attend
DJs high school homecoming.
I have not attended a
homecoming in so many
years, I can't even think back that
far. However, I am thinking, it was
when I was in school!
LONG TIME
AGO!
AGO!
Friday night, Amber, hubs Will,
Braden, DJ and I
went to the game and what
a beautiful night for
a game.
King and queen.
Queen
The sky was so pretty
with the sun going down.
year, so all week at school
leading up to homecoming they
had different activities at
school. Friday was Halloween
costume day.
So cute.
There were a lot of kids dressed
up but I did not get pics
of them, they were moving around
and walking past to fast to
worry with.
This is the school mascot,
The Eagle.
The young man playing the
part of an Eagle was amazing.
He hung with it all evening,
danced, jumped around and
had a good time with it.
But I have to say, that
looked like one mad
Eagle.
For those of you living and
teaching (Liz) at
California schools probably
had to shut your mouth when
it dropped open on the pic below...
Why, I am sure those bands
at those schools are
BIG...
Bigger than this.
Rural area living!
haha.
Two flag girls, and no dance
(forgot what they are called)
drill team girls.
WOW.....I used to attend a small
town football team when my son
played for Portland TN High,
and the stands were packed.
The town really supported that school.
I used to joke and say if anyone
wanted to rob somewhere, during the
game was the time, everyone
was there, including what
appeared to be the whole
police department.
But even with that being
a small town, the band
was a lot BIGGER!
Oh, and by the way,
Hickman won, with four points
more. They topped out at 46.
Pretty sure some states, like Calif.
does not have this burger joint.
These are a square burger,
on a cute little square bun,
thin patty cooked and covered
with tiny pieces of onion which
makes it amazing. Mustard is the
only fixing other than the
onion and pickles.
Bun is steamed!
YUM....
I don't do them often, but
Friday while out doing errands,
I picked up four, they are small
but even with that, I ate only two.
Tummy just don't hold much.
I took the above pic to share on
FB with my bud Phil Cicero.
When we worked together in
Photo Service, we loved getting
these. But the joke in the office was
if you ate too many, the
air your body produced with all
the onions, could be wicked.
So, I tagged Phil on the pick with
the message, "Sometimes you
just have to do it"!!!
I had to share with you these pics
below.
I live in Nunnelly, but there are
all these communities around
me, Lyles, Bon Aqua and so many
more. These pics were taken
just down the street from
Amber.
This is a back road from the
main highway, by passing
some traffic. The first pic is me
coming up on a four way stop.
On the left is the Johnny Cash
museum, you can see part of the
building, I am not sure when this
is even open but I have gone by
a couple times to see buses there.
One the right, at the corner is a
little white house, fenced in
and has to mini donkeys, goats,
ducks and chickens. Across from the
house is a vacant building, and on
the corner across from the museum
is nothing.
Amber travels this road daily going
to and from work but she never
noticed till I pointed it out,
the sign that reads,
"welcome to downtown
Bon Aqua".....
Oh my gosh,
what downtown?
That reminds me of a conversation
I had with a vendor sitting in a parking
lot of the local pizza shop.
This vendor was selling
mums. I drove up cause I had Amber
on the phone and we were wondering of
prices of the mums.
I asked the woman sitting there,
how much they were,
quote that I got was,
"12.50 each, or two for 25."
I held it in, did not laugh, I just
said to Amber on the phone,
did you get that?
I thanked the woman and drove off,
laughing.
Of course, if I buy TWO at
12.50 each, it will total
25, but the woman seemed so
proud of her deal of selling two
together. What happened to that
little discount to get you to buy
the second one?
And folks~
Happy Weekend,
