Sad Days

It was a sad weekend in Wildcat country after a big loss Friday to Bolivar. The first half started good and we were only down by one touchdown at the end of the half, which gave me hope for a quick recovery in the second half. However, during the second half we literally got our rearends handed to us on a platter with gravy. The Bolivar defensive line could stop a mack truck and trying to tackle the offense looked like the coyote trying to catch the roadrunner! The good news is that the loss didnt affect our district standings, which is what counts when you are trying to get to state. I have been keeping the weekend after Thanksgiving open for the last two years, and this year will be the same because that is when the state championship game is. I truly hope that this will be our year. We have to go to Mt. Grove this Friday, then home for the last 2 games. Go Wildcats!!! Went for a drive  out in the country today, just to get away from homework and the computer for a bit. The color in the trees is absolutely gorgeous! I am surprised at how much color there is with so little rainfall, but then rain will just bring the leaves down and then I will have to rake. I picked some more tomatoes and bell peppers today, wont be long and that will be all for the year. I am just trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I did see 2 turkey today while we were driving, and several yesterday while out hitting the last few yard sales of the season. It was a really nice day to be out and I got a few good deals as well. Looks like we are supposed to get a little rain this week then cooler weather, so it will finally feel like October. My older son went bow hunting today. He didnt get any, but he did see several including a really large buck. I think he will go out again next weekend and I hope he has some luck. Venison in the freezer is always a good thing, and I am ready as I got all my butcher knives sharpened at Bass Pro last week. So maybe the sad days this weekend are going to be happy days this week.
