It's Tennessee Week! WHOOOOOO! A little drama concerning the time we were able to leave Anniston, but it all worked out and we left around 4 PM. Tim, Tanya, Jonathan, Dottee and Mollee arrived in T-town, picked up the RV and were in line for Coleman by 6 PM. We get the RV parked and leveled and James, Leah, Steve, Amy and Isabelle arrived. Car unpacked and RV set up and its dinner time. The crew proceeds to Mugshots. Nicolette and Mark are meeting us at Mugshots. We place our name on the list and are told that the wait is 2 hours. We volunteer to split into 2 tables and they still say 2 hours. We call Wings and put our name on the list. The crew moves to Wings. Our wait is 30 minutes but that is great for a table for 11 which turns into a table of 14 when Mark's friends (Jonathan, Anna and Tony) joined us. After Wings we needed to make our weekly trip to Publix's but we were closer to Target so we went there. As we walk in they ask all Target customers to make their final selections and bring to the front. We divide and conquer our list and meet at the front. Unfortunately they do not have all of our items so a trip to Publixs will be made Tuesday morning. Back at the RV, we unload the groceries and watch the highlights of HS football. Wellborn won and is headed to the playoffs. WHOOOOOO Go Panthers.
Saturday morning's weekly duties resume. Tim goes for breakfast and also must make a run to Publixs for ice and other supplies for the tailgate. Nicolette dropped off supplies. Jonathan and Tanya got the outside set up and ready for football. People began arriving, Ivan, Pattie, Nicolette, James, Leah, Steve, Amy, Isabelle, Randy, Janis, Brianna, Hunter and Hunter's friend. Tim and Pattie began working on the Timz Dogz. Tanya took the pups for a walk. Nan and Ellen arrived. The gangs all back together. It was a beautiful day. Robert and Derrick stopped by the tailgate. Candi, Hannah, Hannah's friend, and McKenzie arrived. Timz Dogz were a hit and all were eaten. After the game Jambalaya, grilled chicken and sausage are on the menu for dinner. John and Brenda came by before the game. Janis and Randy didn't have tickets so they are staying at the RV to watch the game as are Candi, Hannah, Hannah's friend and McKenzie. 
Finally, it is game time. The game was terrific. The crowd was loud. In the last 3 minutes of the game, UT roughed Bama's punter and Bama got the ball back only to fumble. UT scored and kicked an onside kick. Bama lost the onside kick and had to block a field goal to win the game. Mt. Cody block 2 kicks in the 4th quarter to preserve the Bama win. Bama wins 12 -10 to remain undefeated. 8 - 0 .Back at the RV, Janis and Randy had grilled all the food. WOW! Nicolette made the Jambalaya. Post game meal was terrific! Anne and Taylor came by the tailgate. Trey, Mark, and his UT friends, Anna, Tony and Jonathan came to the tailgate. A new tailgating record of visitors. WHEW! Everyone helped clean up before departing.
Sunday morning the generator switched off because the fuel dropped to 1/4 tank. The water level was low so all the dishes had to come home to be cleaned. No coffee because there is no generator. Jonathan went for breakfast, coffee and papers. We got everything packed up and cleaned up. The RV needs fuel and then to dump and fill with water. The trip home was uneventful.
A great weekend in T-town. A beautiful weekend spent with family and friends. WHOOOOOO!
