Southern Tailgate Saturday

Caz and his girlfriend organized a great tailgate before the football game.  Caz’s girlfriend’s parent brought all the necessary accoutrements from Huntsville.  Caz got up early to secure a spot in the shade by his dorm.  It was a great spot.  We definitely needed the shade.  And having a bathroom handy was key.
     We started at noon.  There was pulled pork, several BBQ sauces, cole slaw, potato salad, cookies, brownies and lemon bars.  The kids were great.  They tossed a football around.  They stayed out of the beer cooler......
     The kids had to leave for the game around 4, to get their seats in the student section.  We got to hang around a bit longer.  Thankfully, the sun was behind the stadium by the time Coco and I took our seats.  Our seats ended up directly behind Caz’s girlfriend’s parents.  What were the odds?
     Demi stayed behind with Gizmo.  She did 3 loads of laundry for Caz.  She cleaned his dorm room.  What a trouper.  Fortunately, it was only a month after move in date.  The room hadn’t gotten that bad yet.  She also kept an eye of the food, keeping it warm for the post-game tailgate.  What a great day.  It’s one we can all look back on and smile, in the years ahead.  Family time.
