</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here come the Tubas!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I said in an excited voice as we sat waiting on the Alabama - Virginia Tech game to begin.</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">John turned and looked at me with a look that said it all.........</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">He will never understand how excited I get over a band!</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">a little background</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">John and I were high school sweethearts. He played football and I was in the band.</span></span></div>
<div align="center">
Two organizations that were total opposites!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
He would say...I am a ball player and you are a tooter!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Over our years of marriage John has very graciously accepted my love of a band. He has followed me all over the Alabama campus and all over campuses in other states as I follow the</div>
<div align="center">
Million Dollar Band.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I can still remember how it felt when the Minor High School Band snapped to</div>
<div align="center">
attention as the drums began the cadence that would lead us into</div>
<div align="center">
the stands. You could hear the Minor fans roar as they heard the cow bells that the drums included in their cadence. I remember the feeling as we marched down the paved road and made the turn heading toward the football field......we had to stay in line, eyes ahead and keep our mind on just how high your knee went as we marched but you could still see the crowd going wild. Wow....I</div>
<div align="center">
would love to do that one more time!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So, you see, I get excited when I see the tubas begin to move out of the stands at </div>
<div align="center">
Alabama games, I get excited when the band plays on the steps of the Quad and I absolutely love to</div>
<div align="center">
follow them as they march into Bryant Denny Stadium and then rush to get in where I can stand and listen to them as they turn toward the stands and play "The Alabama Fight Song"!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
John will never understand it but he loves me and sweetly indulges me because</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I WILL ALWAYS BE A TOOTER!</div>
<div align="center">

</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alabama vs Virginia Tech</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
When I decided that I wanted to go to this game...... all the Alabama tickets had been sold out. Luckily, Brady was looking online</div>
<div align="center">
back around April and discovered that Virginia Tech had not sold all their tickets and we were able to order tickets from them. </div>
<div align="center">
I was not worried about sitting with a group of Virginia Tech fans. Years ago, John and I went to Nashville to a Music City Bowl where Alabama happened to play Virginia Tech......remember that one....I'll never forget it....not only did we get out butts beat but it rained chunks of ice for half the ball game and.....the country singer that sang The National Anthem butchered it so bad that the whole stadium resang it when he was finished.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
John and I took a bus from the Opryland Hotel to the game. We only discovered we could do this as John was asking for help in where to park. So......we took the bus......us and a bus load of Virginia Tech fans. Wow......were they nice folks. We got really tickled when they asked why we didn't have warmer University of Alabama clothes.....we told them we didn't usually need them!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I never....never leave an Alabama game until it is over. So, John and I sat in the sleeting rain watching the clock tick down. As we boarded the bus to go back to the Opryland Hotel the Virginia Tech fans were gracious and not mad at us because they had all sat on the bus since half time waiting on us......I mean....they were winning and it was sleeting and freezing.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Soooo......I was kind of looking forward to sitting with them. Hoping at the end of the game I would be able to be a gracious winner to them.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Nope........it didn't happen.....this Virginia Tech section had only two fans sitting in it. They did have</div>
<div align="center">
a good size group of fans but not in our section.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Anyway, we enjoyed the game......but we've got a lot of work to do!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
ROLL TIDE.....anyway</div>

We stayed in a great spot. Our hotel was within walking distance of the Marta.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We rode it over to the game with no trouble. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But......oh my, this claustrophobic woman wasn't about to get in the middle of this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
surge of people trying to get on the Marta to get back to their hotels. I was looking down at all the people and a policeman</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
walked up beside me, looked down, and informed me that in all his years of working</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for Marta he had never seen that many people trying to get on a train!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We waited and waited and finally, I felt like it was okay.......wrong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I made it......a major accomplishment for me!</div>

This time last year I was packing our bags for our Yellowstone trip to experience </div>
<div align="center">
the elk rut. John and I were talking and wishing we were going back when it dawned on us that we had Monday free.....so, we decided to leave from Atlanta, early Sunday morning, head to Helen, and then head over to Cataloochee Valley to be there around sunset in hopes of seeing the elk and hearing them bugle.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We had always heard of Helen, Georgia but had never been there. </div>
<div align="center">
We decided we would just ride through since it was on the way to Maggie Valley and see if we wanted to come back some other time. As we were approaching the city limits of Helen we saw a sign for the Cabbage Patch Hospital. I told john that I knew it was somewhere around here but did not realize that it was that close to Helen. He whipped our car around and headed that way.</div>

After, we checked into our hotel in Maggie Valley we headed to Cataloochee Valley.<br />
It is a slow go....to get into the valley and then in most places it is a one car lane. So,<br />
when we got to a field that we thought we might see some elk.....we found a spot where we could back the car in and wait. That's when a little car comes in handy. As I was getting out<br />
of the car I looked up and there was two babies....running and playing....so cute!</td></tr>

<div align="center">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I wish I could have captured the look on Lily's face when she saw Emma and Abby<br />
walk through the door. This little girl loves her cousins. She was so excited that she was just silly. <br />
She sat down on the fireplace hearth and patted and told Emma and Abby....'mon.</td></tr>

After Lily was asleep...I loaded up the girls and we went to Brewster's and got<br />
some ice cream.<br />
Our late night Cousin Camp treat! Shh.....don't tell Lily!<br />

We headed to Ross Bridge to check in and cool off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the girls wanted to eat Mexican so we met Courtney at</div>

Cocina Superior</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at Brookwood Village.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After supper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Courtney took Lily home. She was so sad.....she kept motioning to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Emma and Abby saying.....'mon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think Emma and Abby were sad she left, also. I told them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
maybe she would be old enough to stay with us next year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they didn't seem to miss her as much after they got</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to go night swimming at the Ross Bridge pool. I love </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watching my girls have a good time. The pool wasn't crowded </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and was all kids. They quickly made friends on the pool slide and swam </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for about an hour and a half.</div>

laid in bed and watched tv. Abby and I decided we were thirsty......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this was when I really missed John......he always takes care of me. We were already in our PJ's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and when we walked to the machines , right down the hall, it wouldn't take our dollars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, we got ice and had water!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Later, during the night when my Mexican dinner woke me up I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was really missing John. He would have gotten me an alka seltzer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">BOYS</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So, I started something this year that I hope will be a tradition for at least a few years. </div>
<div align="center">
The birth of Lily made this possible.....the girls needed a cousin.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We had the boys for "Cousin Camp" 2 weeks ago.</div>
<div align="center">
I have to have John's help to do the boys. Don't think they</div>
<div align="center">
would be too impressed with what MeMe would have planned.</div>
<div align="center">
We picked Pops up after work, ate a quick lunch and headed to</div>
<div align="center">
NATURAL BRIDGE</div>
<div align="center">
The boys love anything that has to do with walking, running and exploring</div>
<div align="center">
so</div>
<div align="center">
this was perfect</div>
<div align="center">
I had not been to Natural Bridge in.....oh, I would say......30 years!</div>
<div align="center">
I wasn't sure what to expect.</div>
<div align="center">
It truly is a Mom and Pop place.</div>
<div align="center">
The woman working there told us that it is privately owned, they</div>
<div align="center">
receive no government help and the owners are in their late 80's and live in a house that </div>
<div align="center">
you can see at the end of the parking lot.</div>
<div align="center">
Pretty cool!</div>
<div align="center">
This is a beautiful little spot and I recommend it for a quick little Alabama trip</div>
<div align="center">
for young kids</div>
<div align="center">

While discussing the upcoming visit by Noah we decided if we could coordinate a time with our Grandkids that we would try to take a little day trip.<br />
We decided on Rickwood Caverns.<br />
It didn't work out this trip to have all the kids but we did have Emma, Lily, John Brady and Noah.<br />

This was a great day trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pool that is there looked great and it is fed from the underground lake in the caverns</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the water is 58 degrees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The young people that are running the park were courteous and helpful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just beware</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somewhere around 125, maybe more, steps straight up to get out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I was so happy that you didn't go down in the cave in an elevator.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you know.......I am claustrophobic....I don't like elevators....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So.....I refuse to complain about those steps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but of course......I was too out of breath to think about complaining.</div>

If you have not visited the new "Fayette Aquatic Center" I highly recommend it.<br />
Very clean<br />
the kids love it<br />
I love the way the life guards are in the water at the end of every slide<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The trip down. This is the first trip down without somebody else in the car with us in several years. We had Lawson last year since Lily was a newborn and they would have to stop often to let her nurse. This year Courtney's family drove halfway and spent the night in Greenville because Lily is not a "good traveler". </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">A little funny........as John and I were passing by the Greenville exit signs I sent Court a message and asked if she wanted us to stop by and get Lily. Dave was playing a round of golf at the RTG golf course. She sent a text and said that Lily was asleep so to just go on. Later......she told me that when she told Dave that we had offered to stop by and get Lily that he couldn't believe she passed up the opportunity.....Lily really is a unhappy traveler....Dave told Courtney that he would have put Lily on his hip, jumped the guard rail and met us on the side of the road.....the guys in our family keep me laughing!!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">how to get a family picture in 5 minutes</span></div>

<div align="center">
We always make a family beach picture the 1st whole day we are at the beach. Emma, Abby and John Brady tend to get "raccoon eyes" from wearing goggles, sunglasses and sunscreen, so we try to make our picture early in the trip so they don't have to worry about it! We learned this years ago.....we had some beautiful pictures....I mean I loved the pics but the white circles around their eyes...shined!</div>
<div align="center">
So, we get dressed, make a picture and then go out to eat.</div>
<div align="center">
This day it had started raining sporadically and we weren't sure what to think except that everybody wanted to go ahead and make the picture. Pops looked at the weather map and saw a 30 minute break so we decided to hit it. We wanted to make our picture on the rocks close to the bridge crossing over to Perdido. We got there and pulled into the parking lot and the sidewalk that we thought would take us to the rocks was closed off because of some construction. It had poured rain as we were driving there and it had stopped so we seriously needed a place to make the picture....quickly. We turned around in the parking lot and crossed over into another parking lot where the construction was and then we saw it.......a fence overlooking the ocean. We all agreed it would be a new and different background. </div>
<div align="center">
We ran out to the fence, got ready and took about 8 snaps before it started raining. You should see the funny ones.....the camera still snapping as we all took off running.</div>
<div align="center">
Pops and Brady thought it was great.....making a picture in under 5 minutes!!!!</div>

We are usually on our family beach trip on our anniversary. We have just started celebrating in July after the beach trip but we always mention it and since we were going out to eat that night I said I was picking the restaurant.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
There are sooo many new and great restaurants in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/ Perdido but I just love something about the food and the memories of The Original Oyster House.</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
The men in our family are GOOD cooks. now, all us women can cook but just to be honest...the men should have their own show.</div>
<div align="center">
somehow I didn't get picture of Brady & Kim or Josh and Meredith cooking. Hopefully the girls have pictures!</div>
<div align="center">
John made fish tacos and Dave made his pizza</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Brady and Kim cooked us a good old fashioned country meal. You know you need that after several days of seafood. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and slaw!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Josh and Meredith made West Indies Salad, grilled fish with a greek tomato salsa topping, boiled new potatoes and corn.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
UMMMMMMM!!!!!</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
We accidentally started an ice cream tradition....uniquely our own! We always made homemade ice cream on one night of our beach week. Last year or the year before....it may have been the year that Grandmother died and we went down late......we did not bring the ice cream maker. So, I told the kids we would go to the store and buy whatever kind of ice cream they wanted. We asked the grown ups what kind they wanted and me and the girls took out to buy the ice cream. I let the girls each pick a gallon and we got a couple of more that the adults wanted. Obviously, the kids thought this was soooo great. They ask when we are going to get the ice cream and do not ask for the homemade!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The boys told us they wanted to go this year, also. So we asked what the adults wanted and I took off with 4 of the 5 grand kids. Each child picked their gallon and then we got a few more. Not sure why they get such a kick out of this but.....it makes my day!</div>

Love to see those kids happy!</div>
