Ole Miss v. LSU: Oxford

November 21, 2009
Ole Miss v. LSU
Oxford hosted the LSU game this year and we made sure we were in attendance. Stella, Jane and I drove up on Wednesday to prepare for the weekend. It was so nice to get up there early and actually enjoy Oxford, the Square and the Grove without feeling to rushed. Of course, no trip to Oxford is ever long enough!
Hyde, Philip, Wookie and Maggie came Thursday night. Bettye Jane, Charlie, Mollie, Gaston, Micajah and Grace arrived on Friday. This was the first time to see Grace and Micajah since they were married Oct 17 and that day (Nov 20th) was actually Micajah's birthay. Mollie arrived with her cute belly and we all had to rub on "Tacolina" (name of is TBD). She looks great and only has a month to go!
Hyde and I went to Liza Carter and Nelson Valentine's engagement party Friday night then came home to prepare for Saturday's activities and menu.
Saturday morning, Hyde woke up at 6am to start cooking his jambalaya. It was delicious and a perfect addition to the Grove tent for the LSU game. Lots of Hyde's LSU buddies were able to stop by before the game. I was able to meet Jilliann and Drew Dreher's precious little girl, Murphy, who was born 5 days after Jane.
When everyone left to go the game, Jane and I walked back to the Square to shop a bit before Papa Mike arrive to watch the game with us. Jane was able to hang out with her Papa Mike for a few hours before he had to drive back to Itta Bena. Neither of us could believe the end of the game when LSU made a comeback but mis-managed the clock and lost their opportunity to win! Hotty Toddy! Go Rebels! 2 wins in a row for the Rebels!
