HOW BOUT THEM DORES!!!

I would be remiss if I didn't post about my favorite college sports team. The Vanderbilt Commodores (some say it is THE university of Tennessee) is 4-0 and has a nationally televised game tomorrow night on ESPN. Espn will actually be broadcasting Game Day from West End here in Nashville tomorrow.

GO DORES!! BEAT AUBURN!!

It was 30 yrs ago today

Well, it was actually 31, but who's counting? Last weekend I attended a Glencliff High School all 70's class reunion. The class of 78 had their 30 yr reunion party and all classes that graduated in the 70's were invited. Most of my favorite girls and a couple of favorite guys attended and it was really a lot of fun. Some of these people went to elementary school with me!

A special thanks to Lisa Furkins-Martin and Jane Payne Tilley for all of their hard work and a super big thank you to Lisa for taking over the event solely when Jane's son became very sick. (Praise God he is now home and recovering.) I have such great memories of high school. This event was such a success that the 79 class is thinking of having the same format. I hope Lisa will help them with the planning. She has such a gift.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Some IBC friends are forever.

On our last Sunday at Inglewood we invited some folks over for swimming. However, these folks (and others) are more than church friends. They really like our slide too.


.

They are going to take away my HGTV.

I have never been one of those people who sets the dining room table as if people are getting ready to eat. Frankly, we never eat at the dining room table at this house. (Or any of our others for that matter.) Anyway.....I decided that It was time to fix my table up really pretty. I was impressed at the change that it made. I also hung some sconces with greenery (fake) on either side of the tv. It looks real nice also. LOOK Y'ALL, I AM A DECORATOR.

Frugal Friday

Ok, I was headed out to Walgreens to use my $10/$40 coupon and combine it with some other coupons that I had. When I got there , I realized that I FORGOT TO PRINT THE COUPON. Not real bright. So, I went into Walgreens anyway, (because that is just what women do) and boy was it worth it. These are the items that I got:

Scrubbing Bubbles tub and shower cleaner 3.79

plastic spoons .99

Dole fruit in a cup 3 @ 2.99 ea.

Sunsilk shampoo (with free mousse attached) 2 @ 4.29

Total after tax $24.49

Here is the best part:

walgreens coupon for fruit 3/5.00

manufacturer coupon for fruit 1/3.00

shampoo was bogo 4.29

The sweet young girl at the counter gave me 2 coupons for the shampoo 3.00

Total after tax was $8.55!

The net on the shampoo was $1.29 for two bottles of shampoo and two cans of mousse

Savings = $15.94!!

Searching

This was our first Sunday to start looking for a new church home. I went to Long Hollow Baptist Church which is about 5 minutes from our house. The worship was really good. It was what I have needed for a long time in a church worship service. I was supposed to meet and sit with either my Aunt Linda or the Hollans family. I never found either one. The Hollans sat right in front of me though and they walked with me to my car because I had a birthday gift for Naomi. Kevin was at the Titans game so he didn't go with me. Next Sunday we are going to his home church for homecoming. I really like Long Hollow and feel like this is where we will end up.
