As we all know, I am from a small town with lots of traditions. One of those is my favorite, homecoming. I have never missed a homecoming (even when I was 2 weeks old and also when I lived in Tennessee) in almost 30 years. I love the hype of the small town, the red and white the town gets decorated in, the mums and garters that are worn with pride, the football team hyped up and everything else that goes along with it. This year was no different. I started making garters for Crawford, Asher and Baby Brooks about three weeks ago, and didn't finish them until late Thursday night (yes, they needed to be ready for Friday). Homecoming time came, and the kids all looked great in their red and white, the field and stadium was decorated to the max, and then....lightning! So, after about an hour and a half delay, everything got back on schedule and the game went on. Yes, the Vandals lost...barely, but it was still a great game. I can only hope that one day we are in a town that still makes a big deal out of homecoming.
