Floyd IV got to ring in the New Year Dallas style! For Christmas Papa and Jane gave Floyd a trip with them to the Cotton Bowl to watch the Ole Miss Rebels pull out a great football victory. They left Belzoni New Year's Eve "west bound and down...loaded up and truckin.." on to Dallas, Texas. This trip was right up Floyd's alley. Floyd is a football nut. He loves the sport in every way. He loves to play it, watch it, study the stats on it, you name it...if it has to do with football he's GAME especially Ole Miss! If he's not blessed size wise to be a strong player one day he'll make a heck of a commentator, writer or manager that is for sure. They stayed at the hotel where the team was staying, the Hilton Anatole. Here they are in the lobby! Let's Go Rebels!!
When Floyd called home to say "Hey" he proceeded to tell us that everyone he ran into either knew me or Moms! Funny, I thought to myself that the Chi Omega alums of all ages must have had a pretty good representation at the Cotton Bowl this year if that was the case. Then from looking at this picture that was taken I see Mary Ann Fruge' with her back to the camera! So there ya go!
Floyd said he ran into lots of folks that "knew who he was" and "where he was from". He even ran into Jimmy Davis, one of husband Floyd's old accounting professors and good family friend. Let's just hope Dr. Davis is still around when Floyd enters Ole Miss!
Love me some Kettle Chips! Thanks Jane!
Outside Cowboy Stadium headin' in!
Inside Cowboy Stadium...pretty impressive indeed!
My good friend, Kelly Connell, sent me a text from Dallas saying she saw Floyd smiling ear to ear and that his entire Cotton Bowl T-shirt was COVERED with autographs from the Ole Miss players...these pictures tell the tale for sure.
getting Brandon Bolden's autograph "Tshirt style" that is...
Johnny Brown....
and Marcus Temple just to show, list, or name a few of the autographs he collected
I think Floyd was wined and dined pretty good and apparantly held his own even dining out with the adults. He even brought back his Mediterranean sea bass bones to show us and give to Tom Stacy.
Thanks Papa and Jane for the great trip! Floyd had a BLAST! HOTTY TODDY!
