My Cousin's View Today

This photo was taken by my cousin Johnna Powell while visiting New York today. She said that the 9-11 Tribute display was beautiful last night.

MSU vs Auburn! Dawg Victory! A Happy Day!

Stephen with his MSU friends. Stephen and Houston were glad to see each other.

Stephen was at the game. I am sure he had a blast. I cannot wait to hear all about it. Nathan decided that he would enjoy watching the game with his Grandaddy better so he spent the day with my parents.  I talked to them several times during the game Mama said, "Our precious Nathan is here watching ballgame with his Granddaddy. He had a ticket to the ballgame but slept too late and he said "this is exactly where I wanted to be". I made brunch for him and Tiny. Crisp bacon, fried eggs, roll, and cinnamon rolls, and plenty of coffee and sweet tea. Nathan said "I'm so happy". He sounded like Michael. Of course, we are soooo happy too."

The MSU vs Auburn game was hosted in Starkville. So Richard and Katie are hosting Katie's family. Richard's Sis-in-Law & her husband and Mother & Father-in-Law were at the game with them. As you can see they are a divided family on the issue! I am sure Katie and Richard enjoyed this victory big time. The family will be having a cookout tonight at the Red Dog and they will be dove hunting and having lunch tomorrow at Libby & Neel's. Stephen and Nathan will be joining them there. It is Richard's Birthday weekend. Matt & I might have to jump in the car and join them too. Good food and family is hard to resist. 

How sweet it is! 28-10! Wrap this one up in Maroon and White!

Dan Mullen answered the reporter and he pointed up into the stadium, 

"Look at this environment, look at these fans, we are building a championship team 
and our fans know it!"

Yes sir Dan. Go Dawgs!! Hail State. What a GREAT victory!! 

I am one of the MSU fans that knows it.

Traveling Family

Matt is in Dallas this week for work. He enjoys that auction for a few reasons. There is no connecting flight, he likes the city of Dallas, and he and his Dad get to see each other once a week now. Matt will be home in time for supper here tomorrow night. I asked Matt to take a picture with his folks there. I wonder if he will remember?

Stephen just returned from his trip to Oxford to start his work week here. Nathan is in Olive Branch tonight, and he will doing audits in several places across the state for the next day or two. Pierce is with the Governor.

I am the only one here at home so far and I have a refrigerator full of food.

Happy Birthday to Michael

Taken at Martha's Vineyard

I asked Virginia Rose to call me when she was with Michael so I could wish him a Happy Birthday. Michael sounded great and he was excited about all of the fun things he was doing on his day and this weekend with his family. He is staying in a "fancy hotel" with his Mom. He was especially excited that he got to go to Best Buy. He was also very excited that he had talked to his Dad on his Birthday. Michael likes to tell me about my brother which is his Dad. Michael said, "I talked to my Dad, your brother." Michael said his Dad is coming to see him at his school. Michael  also told me that he was going to eat with is sister. He was so polite and he thanked me for calling. He said, "Thank you Aunt" many times.  He makes my heart melt.

I also talked to Virginia Rose. She just moved this weekend from Hartford to Boston which went pretty smoothly because her company moved her.  She will be living on the Charles River in a town just outside Boston. Because she is so close, all she has to do is get on a train there to be in the center of the city. Virginia, Michael and I said our goodbyes so they could go get tacos for supper. He was so happy.

Stephen and Katie - Hotty Toddy? Hail State! Go Dawgs!

Kirksey says, "Hail State! Go Dawgs!"
