ARE YOU READY???

Ready or not football season is here and in full force! The Melton Family is fired up and as you can see from our front terrace display we are ready to root on the Rebels. We are actually going to a few games this year in Oxford believe it or not. Our old Grove group is rekindling its flame for 1 or 2 games and we'll be in full action. It will be fun for all of our kids to get to know each other. Our group mainly consists of our close college "couple" friends. (Meltons, Connells, Pedigos, Burnhams, Abneys, Dales, Holmes, and Gilillands are our base crew. We may have a few more come and go though). Once everyone started having kids it became harder and harder to get to every game and put forth the full blown effort of "tailgating so to speak". Now that most of the kids are older (past infancy/toddler years) it's time to reconnect. Needless to say, Little Floyd (our inhouse football fanatic) went with Papa to the Memphis game and even rode the Alumni Assn bus from Oxford. He is going this weekend to see the Rebels take on Southern Louisiana with Scott and Walker Pedigo. He tries not to miss a game. The rest of us will stay in Greenwood and enjoy the River to the Rails activities and a Lusco's dinner. 300 Oaks Road Race is this weekend too and our front yard is the headquarters for registration that morning. Rob, Anna, Anne Carson and Chloe Tyner will be staying with us with their girls as will Scott, Lulu, Walker and Elizabeth. Lisa and McLean will be passing through on Sunday for lunch and a visit on their way back to Fairhope from seeing the Rebels play. We are looking forward to seeing everyone indeed! So as the weekend approaches I ask again (in more contexts than one), "ARE YOU READY??" HELL YES...DAMN RIGHT (and as I quietly respond in my head... I think and hope so!!) Let's have some fun yall!
