Growing up? Current? What are they?

For me growing up it was always a nice family lunch with the typical Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and much more to stuff yourself with. After lunch it was going to a Christmas Tree farm to chop down our Tree. It is pretty much the same for me now minus my sister being there, dinner with the parents, brother and his girl, Aunt and Uncle coming over, and Tree still happens! I have a small family so its never huge get togethers but its still fun and lots of good food!

Deer hunt in the morning, go on stand early, then link up, have a shot of BBB ('Hunter's Helper) around 10 and drive through the brush. Afterwords, it's food and football

As a kid it was going to my grandmother's for a huge meal, having my dad start an argument with one of my uncles, making a big scene and we have to leave early.
Now it's just eating like there's no tomorrow, watching football, and napping on the couch.

So you're in the woods after drinking several brews with a gun? Not to mention loaded on trytophan... News flash--stay out of the woods where Mike is... :eek:lol:

So, what's papaw's favorite team?

Papaw doesn't really have a favorite NFL team. He's latched on the Titans since they moved to Tennessee though. If it wasn't for him though, I probably wouldn't be a sports fan, and he's responsible for making me love UT. He's like me (or i guess, i'm like him), we could watch Arkansas Pine-Bluff take on Mississippi Valley State in basketball and still enjoy it. We just love sports.
