Duke wins Tip-off NIT over UConn 68-57

Duke improved their record by beating the 13th ranked UConn Huskies in the NIT Pre-season Tournament championship game Friday.

"It was a big-time game, shots were so hard to come by, open shots. Both teams are very, very good defensively and you know, you get by one guy and it's hard to get to the bucket," Krzyzewski said. "But we rebounded very well and we played outstanding defense."

family time at Thanksgiving

There is nothing quite like getting together with the family is there? We have friends at church who are just as dear to us and friends at work who we don't really know as well, but family times are special. This year we will be spending our first Thanksgiving in our home in Georgia. My mom and dad are coming down from SC with my sister, Loretta. Kenny, Casey and Caden are coming tonight from SC. One of our sons will be joining us - Brandon, Rachel and Charlie T arrived last night from Florida. Thanks to Paula for sending the satsuma oranges from her tree in Jax. And my sister, Debbie and Charlie (April, Jonathan and Philip) are driving up from Florida Thursday morning. Looks like we will have a full house for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hope the rest of our family enjoy their Thanksgiving day as I am sure there will be a lot of family gatherings in California, Texas, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Missouri, Virginia and Louisiana - to name a few states where we will have relatives feasting tomorrow!

IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: (Psalm 62:1)

rain, rain go away. . .

Some of us (me included) are never satisfied! Now that we are officially out of the drought in Georgia, we are wondering when the rain is going to end. For the record, we have only had two weeks of dry weather, 5-7 days in a row, since August. Last week was one of those week and it was wonderful. But today we have rain from the remnants of TS IDA and it may not end until after Weds night. Hmmm.
