SNOW DAY and UNC / CLEMSON BASKETBALL GAME TRIP

Another morning of early morning phone pings announcing school delays. Hubbie got up and let Bernie out then just layed down on the couch to wait for d-in-love who usually goes in on time on delay days. A little later another ping said that schools were canceled for the entire day. I saw the snow flakes start to fall just before I went to bed last night and the ground was quickly getting a frosty white covering.
As the sun rose the white covering was really pretty early but melted away quickly as the clouds broke up and the sunshine warmed the ground.


This morning the frosty white covering was still on the grass and roofs and obviously on roads in some parts of the county but the road by our house looks snow free.
With schools closed we had both these kidos all day.
This little girl got to go into work with her mom on this teacher work day.
I did some décor changes today for the new month of February but decided to wait on the furniture cover changes since g-son and RL pretty much snacked all day !!
We did chores really early today like 2:30 so we could get ready to go to Clemson to watch the UNC / Clemson basketball game . Daughter and son-in-love found some tickets to the sold-out game and are taking us for their appreciation of us helping them move.
We watched the sun set on the way down and stopped and had a quick supper at Panera Bread in Easley SC on the way.
We got to the overfilling parking lots just in time to get a decently close spot. We saw the large Blue / Blood moon rising above the university on the walk up to the gym.
We got up to get in the long line waiting to get inside just as the doors opened and got inside to find our seats .


This is our first time in Clemson's gym since they remodeled and enlarged it. 
Our seats were pretty good and we were photo bombed by a worried Clemson fan !!!!
Warming up ......

Getting ready to play.....



One of UNC's main players, Theo Pinson is pushed down and injured in the first minute of the game and never returned.

Exciting game..... Loud fans......


Roy Williams coaching......



Close game in closing minutes.
Unfortunately UNC ended up losing 82-78 for the first time to Clemson in many many games.
This little sweet heart stayed with #1 son and d-in-love while we were gone and she looked like she fit right in with #1 son.
We took off just before the final whistle to get ahead of the crowd leaving and it worked and we didn't get caught in any traffic and made it home at 10:30.
It was a very very nice evening and hubbie and I both enjoyed it very much with thanks to son-in-love and daughter's thoughtfulness.
Thankful for the blessing of traveling mercies this evening and for all the blessings of this day with the grands and kids.
God Bless and Good Night.
