The Homecomings

What a wonderful weekend we've celebrated--two homecomings.

ASU celebrated it's 100th anniversary homecoming weekend playing Florida International and winning. It's especially nice to win the homecoming game. With all the festivities and hubbub, another wonderful homecoming occurred. It brought Micah home from NOLA to enjoy the alumni festivities and visit with the family. We haven't seen her since June.

I took off Friday and we played; we enjoyed a leisure morning, got dressed and headed to the city for a serious day of shopping. Friday evening, we went to the Elder's in Brookland to visit with the grandparents and have dinner at TaMolly's. Even Bryan was able to break away from his schedule and join us. We had a great visit. Micah left a little later to join college friends for a celebration.

Saturday morning, she was off for brunch and then a 2:00 gathering at the BCM. She and I went out for a short portion of the game and enjoyed the halftime show watching Bryan march with the band.

Sunday we were all off to church and then to my folk's house for lunch and a visit. Sunday night, Micah went to dinner after church and visited with the Putman's senior. All to soon it was Monday and she was headed home and we were headed to work.

It isn't quite as hard to say goodbye this time of year. We're looking forward to a brief 3 or 4 weeks and then it's holiday time again as we all gather for Thanksgiving. There will be more shopping and plenty of eating. I can hardly wait.
