Tarheel Born, Tarheel Bred!

Bill and I had a great time visiting out alma mater, UNC Chapel Hill! One of the most gorgeous college campuses anywhere, and I've seen quite a few! We were so looking forward to seeing the Heels stomp Duke at the Dean Dome, but sadly we lost by one point! :// Very painful, but undoubtedly one of the most exciting games I've ever seen! 

A long walk through campus the next day brought back so many fond memories. Even stopped in Wilson library but didn't venture into the stacks where I spent countless hours studying. A great morning topped off with an excellent lunch at my favorite, Spanky's on Franklin Street. 

SIGH...I declare that I will have a grandchild attend this school one day and keep the family tradition going. I luv my Dawgs, the Noles, and UK Cats, but my blood still runs Carolina blue! 

Go Heels! Beat Dook!

A House Divided - UK vs UGA

Today we had two of our children's schools go head to head on the collegiate football field - in Athens, the UGA bulldogs hosted the UK wildcats. Georgia won, but Kentucky did get some points on the board. Even though I would've liked to have seen more points, I was glad Mark Richt got a victory - he needed it. I know Rachel forgives me! She was busy celebrating Cameron's birthday, so I think she was oblivious to her team's loss.  

Sadly, FSU didn't prevail against Clemson in Death Valley, BUT...the Tarheels did beat Duke, which always makes me happy!

Athens is such a great college town; we palled around with Alex and Anna and ate some great food, gorged on ice cream, and then took a long, night walk through campus. Just beautiful! We saw the Richard B Russell Special Library where Anna works and the new Terry buildings where Alex spends much of his time. All is good! Go Dawgs!
