BCS BOWL BASH

I INVITED THE GANG OVER TO WATCH THE BCS BOWL.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS vs FLORIDA GATORS

I PROVIDED 3 TYPES OF CHILI.....

REGULAR-NO BEANS

REGULAR WITH BEANS

WHITE CHILI (TURKEY, CILANTRO, CORN, ONIONS,

GREAT NORTHERN BEANS, AND SPICES).

ALL WERE GOOD, BUT REGULAR-NO BEANS WAS THE CROWD FAVORITE BASED ON WHAT WAS LEFT.... (MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE SAID NOT LEFT OVER).

MARGIE BROUGTH SOME HOMEMADE DELICIOUS CORN BREAD.

SHEILA BROUGHT HER FAMOUS DUMP CAKE, AND.....

SHEILA ALSO BROUGHT CLAY, (SUE'S HUBBY AND OUR FRANCE HOST)

ALL WERE ADVISED TO WEAR TEAM COLORS.

SHEILA WON BEST COSTUME

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A SECRET...CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE MADE IT HERSELF?

(GATOR GARB IS NON-EXISTANT IN THE DFW AREA)

WE HAD A $2.00 ENTRY FEE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BOWL QUIZ CONTEST.

PARTICIPATION WAS MANDANTORY !

YOU ANSWER VARIOUS QUESTIONS BEFORE THE GAME STARTS...

ex. WINNING TEAM, WHO'LL SCORE FIRST, WHO'LL BE AHEAD AT 1/2 TIME, ETC.

YOU GET POINTS FOR EACH CORRECT ANSWER.

FIRST PLACE WAS A TIE BETWEEN RALPH AND ME.

WE SPLIT THE POT..... $9.00 EACH (I KNOW, BIG MONEY)

CLAY AND RALPH WON THE DOOR PRIZES.

SHEILA WON A $2.00 FROM DAD (SHE BET ON GATORS)

WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER ! ! !

EVERYONE ELSE WAS A LOSER....

ESPECIALLY DAD, CAUSE HE TRIED TO STEAL MY WINNINGS.

DURING THE GAME, MARK, JOYCE, AT TIMES CLAY, AND I PLAYED WII.

WE DID EVERYTHING FROM AEROBICS AND YOGA, TO BOWLING AND BOXING.

FOR A WHILE, MARK AND SHEILA WERE HAVING MORE FUN THAN ANYONE ELSE. THEY WERE TAKING VIDEO DANCE LESSONS.

THEN WE SAW THEM, AND STARTED LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF.

I KNOW, THAT'S A LOT OF LAUGHING.... BUT WE DID.

NEXT THING I KNEW, THEY WERE FIGHTING. MARK ACTUALLY KO'D SHEILA RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF US ALL.

(I CHEERED AND CLAPPED.... AREN'T I AWFUL ?)

ALL IN ALL, A PRETTY FUN EVENING.
