We were excited that the Alabama vs. Arkansas Football game (American football) was showing on our version of ESPN. As much as I LOVE and have begun to rely on the hourly church bells here in Europe, the ringing of the crowd's chants during the game made my heart race a bit more. However, these sounds weren't signaling that we were late for school, or that it was dinner time, nor bedtime was looming..they were telling us that it was Saturday and GAME TIME!
It was nice being able to watch a piece of home "LIVE". But it also made me miss 'gamedays' at our house in Alabama with our friends. The grill was hot for hours, the wine opener was busy and the laughs continued late into the night. Tonight as just the two of us (and a dog) snuggled under the quilt and watched the game, we decided that "Roll Tide!" sounds just as good with the church bells ringing thru the window but it was a tad bit lonelier!
ROLL TIDE!!!
Aww! I actually thought about you guys while we were watching the game at Phil's.. I wondered if you were able to watch any of the games. So glad you were able to. Know that you were thought of often throughout the game!
