This is the time of year that most Georgians look forward to...It's Labor Day weekend (yeah- OK~ we get a few days off), it's opening day of Dove Season (not really impressed by that~ haven't been dove hunting in 7 years)... It's time for some Bulldog Football~ THIS is what I'm talking about. Hopefully with the coming of the season this year, it will bring cooler weather- Lord knows we need it. This has been the hottest summer I can remember in a LONG time; and I'm not just saying that because I'm 38 weeks pregnant!
As many of our family & friends know, we are HUGE Dawg (that's how real fans say it...) fans. When I met Justin, I was amazed at his "home office"... It is painted UGA red and was just about full of all kinds of Georgia stuff... Once we got married, I added all of my Georgia Stuff... Now it's full and there are some things that we have 2 or 3 or 4 of. We're always looking at new stuff to add to our collection... That's why I love the Cotton Pickin' Fair in Gay, GA (1st weekend in May & Oct~ hopefully I'll make it this year) and the Geranium Festival in McDonough, GA (ususally 2nd or 3rd Sat in May). I usually come home with something to add to the room... Even our (new 9 foot) Christmas tree is decorated in Red & Black & UGA ornaments... It sits in an old wash tub that has been wrapped & sealed in UGA fabric instead of a boring old tree skirt...
Just to show how much we like the Dawgs, we named our black lab Munson... Our OB doc is just about as big a fan as we are- he has his office decorated from floor to ceiling with all kinds of UGA stuff... Greenlee already has MANY Bulldog outfits to wear, plus I'm in the process if making her UGA tutu to wear with her UGA onesie...I have a Georgia "G" cake pan... I could just go on & on about all this, but the purpose of this post is to say what great friends we have...
Usually during the football season, we have get togethers at each other's houses to "watch" the game... 2 seasons ago, we pretty much just went to 1 couple's house every weekend & everyone brought food... Last year we mixed it up at different houses, but we all still brought food... This year is kinda sad because for the 1st time in the past 3 1/2 years, none of us are getting together on opening day... Like I said earlier, it's opening day of Dove Season~ that's where most of our friends will be I'm sure, but we will be at the Ballew Family get together. The rest of the season, who knows where we will all be gathering...
I hope all of the DAWG fans enjoy their opening day festivities! We will miss all of our friends today as the Dawgs open their season against the other Bulldogs... Hopefully we will all be watching "in spirit" together... GO DAWGS!!!!
