Roll Tide Roll (Really? Am I Writing This?)

Peggy went to her very first Alabama game this past Saturday. Grandaddy was dying to take her so we met Sassy and Grandaddy with Peggy at Denny Chimes Saturday afternoon. Needless to say, Peggy had a blast. Before this weekend, she was teetering on being a full-fledged Alabama fan. Now much to her father's delight, she is one. She loves everything about Alabama. She got to go on the field and see Big Al and the cheerleaders. Had the game not been at 6:30, I think she would have made it through the whole thing. We left after half-time sine she was worn out. Thanks,Grandaddy. You have a very happy and very excited little Alabama fan in our house. Sad for me but mission accomplished for Daddy. War Eagle anyway!!

The Second Time Around


Peggy is so blessed to have this awesome swingset that was a hand-me-down from her cousins, Gracie and Mac. When the Loves made plans to move, the fate of the swingset was in question. Gracie and Mac aren't the swingset age any longer and Michelle and Chuck couldn't bear leaving behind something that had meant so much to their children. So, we decided to take it. With plans to move it in July, we thought it would make a perfect second birthday present. It just needed a little staining and cleaning and then it would be good as new. Then, the installers came to get it and bring it to us. That is when the fun began. We learned that several pieces of the ground wood were rotten. While this swingset came with a lifetime warranty, the paperwork was long-gone, so that meant all repairs and parts would be out of pocket and expensive. So, for the next two months, I tried to get it covered with no success. Then, with the Loves' move reaching completion, we had to get it out of their yard. The installers were able to replace just a few pieces and make it work. It ended up costing us a little more, but not too much. Finally, we have a fully functional swingset in our backyard. It comes with many memories but has room for many more. Peggy loves the set and we now start many days here. I know her friends will enjoy it also. We still need to clean it up but overall, it is awesome!!!
Enjoy the pics!
