HAPPY FALL!

I can't belive that it's been so long since I have updated the blog. Life is just going by so fast!

It was a very rainy day in Athens for the Arizona State game. . . in fact it was a torrential downpour. But at least the DAWGS were victorious! I went to the Lambda Chi tailgate with Griffin and so many of my ZTA and Tri Delta gals. Thank goodness they had a tent!

Ann, Becky & Jim

LSU weekend was a blast. Cindy and David, Polly and Tom, Katie and Harrison, and Caroline and Drew all came to Athens for a weekend of fun.

Griffin and Kelly spent Friday night with us all as we started at Hotel Indigo for cocktails and then finished at the Sigma Chi band party at Level.

Grace Dendy [Deborah Ashendorf's Mom] and her friend came for a visit. They were playing in the GA Seniors Golf Tournament. I took them on a tour of the campus - it was perfect convertible weather!

Date Nights with Miss Becky continue to be at hit at the ZTA House. We've had the gentlemen from KA, EX, Lambda Chi, AGR, and Pi Kap thus far.

Wedding Bells for Rachel & Alan!

Rachel Roberts and Alan Brown were married October 10! Their wedding was beautiful! Patti and me just before the wedding . . . really special since we have been OFF's [old family friends] since we were 5.

Becky, Patti & Cindy - brunch on Sunday after the wedding.












Susan Stewart Miller came for a weekend visit. Downtown with Ann Winger.

UGA GREEK GRIND! For the past 5 years, SDT sorority has sponsored a dance contest for all sororities that benefit child abuse prevention in Athens. This sold-out event is held at the Athens Classic Center and is HUGE on UGA's campus. It is a hip-hop dance routine judged by professors of dance, dance company directors, and football players. Barbara Small Lewis came to watch daughter Cat compete with Phi Mu;

John Shirley came to watch his daughter compete for AOPi.

Wooo Pig Sooie! Go DAWGS!

Polly, Tom, Katie C and I had a wonderful weekend in Fayetteville & Rogers, Arkansas visiting Rhonda and Dave Lee and their family.

Lilly, Rhonda, Dave, Becky, Tom & Polly

We began our weekend in Rogers for lunch after arriving at NW Arkansas airport. Friday afternoon we headed to Fayetteville to Laura and Jason's who live just up the street from the stadium.

Mary Margaret had flown in from Louisville, KY.

Then we headed to Dixon Street for a taste of Fayetteville nightlife.

The Arkansas cheerleaders and 'the hog' ride all around downtown in this big trailer creating lots of excitement - we should do this in Athens with Uga!

Dave was all smiles about Fayetteville;

Polly was laughing the night away . . . and Rhonda and I were just laughing along with Polly.

Board Meetings . . . .

I attended a very important meeting with other members of the Tri Delta House Corporation Board this week . . . it was work, work, work! The meeting couldn't be held in Athens, :( we had to go off site. It wasn't 'terrible' - Karen Schoefield, Deborah Ashendorf, Sandy Boyles and I tried to make the most of it.
We worked night and day; had many grueling sessions; worked on the budget, long range strategic planning, etc. etc. . . .

. . . dinner meetings . . . . . Volunteering is hard work! I highly recommend it!
