Houseguests and Football Games

Well I am excited to say this weekend ushered in the first visit of Ashley and I's very own houseguest! Kara arrived Thursday evenining after making the 11-12 hr drive from south florida and left this morning to head home. This allowed us a fun but short weekend of catching up and guided tours of Knoxville, and a tiny bit of shopping :)  As we drove through downtown yesterday, we were even able to catch the announcers echoing from the stadium during a Tennessee Volunteers football game ... which in case you don't know, is a huge deal around here. And when there is a home game the city is ORANGE. The McDonald's even serves a Vols orange-flavored shake. And yes, there is even a Tennessee Volunteers snuggie.

Miles around downtown, you will see no one wearing anything but orange, and Kara couldn't resist getting a sweatshirt. :) And she didn't visit us empty handed...as a belated birthday present she got me a game that has quickly become a new addiction.... Mexican Dominoes. If no one has ever played, I highly reccommend it!!    The Mexican Train Game Directions
