The Cordle Fam

So by now, it’s pretty much old news that the Cordle Fam is moving their base of operation to Jackson, MS. We’re all completely on board with this as a family, but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy. Moving out of our home is going to take a while…both logistically & emotionally. As much as we’ve talked about the move, it just really didn’t become real until the girls & I came home today to find a “For Sale” sign in the yard.

After having a bit of a “moment”, we decided that it just didn’t feel right to have the sign out front while we were home for Thanksgiving. So, somewhat immaturely, we took matters into our own hands.

After taking care of that, we went and ate some lunch, then hung out with Joy & her 3 munchkins. We’ll try and work up a slideshow of that later. The realtor called and wanted to show the house at 5:30, so we left Joy’s in enough time to catch a skunk & hide it under mom & dad’s bed.

While the impostors were wandering our house, we went to up to the new Publix to find the fixins for dinner. It just so happened that it was sample day, so we ended up hanging out at the grocery for dang near an hour. We swung by the high school to reminisce a little, then by Eckerd Rite-Aid to grab a few things we forgot at Publix.

We divided up dinner prep, and had a really good fish+corn+green bean+bread meal. Anna also made some killer cupcakes, and I plan on eating as many as I can until I get too sick to continue. So…on that note, I’ll let you go so I can frost up another. Love y’all.

We got the call on Tuesday evening that Joy was headed to the hospital in Newnan to have Molly Beth. I was debating about whether or not to go visit them, and had almost decided to wait– Mom didn’t seem to think that she’d have the baby until sometime Wednesday morning.

So, I finished up some work & gave Anna a call. Cassie, Jen & her were packing up to head over from Jacksonville…they were under the impression that Molly Beth was going to be there in a few hours. By the time I called mom to get the story straight, the kid had already popped out!

I got to the hospital about 10 minutes after the girls (which coincidentally is about the same amount of time it took the Alabama State Trooper to write me a ticket on the way…). Once there, had a really great visit with Jeff, Joy, Joy’s sister, her mom, & Mitz. We weren’t able to hold Molly Beth that night, but she was pretty dang cute through that glass window.

We hung out at the hospital for a while, then left so they could have some family time. But not before they gave us our party favors!

We stopped by the Waffle House for some late night grub before returning to our respective residences.

I just made my way over to my cousin Carrie’s blog a little while ago, and this is what I saw…

I don’t guess I realized that the flood waters are still crazy high.  She has tons more pictures…go take a look.  Good luck Carrie & George!

Hey Folks- It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? Well, what better to break us out of this slump than an article about our very own Caroline Cordle. Our friend Tony Jones of the Newnan Times-Herald wrote a very flattering piece about her in the sports section of yesterday’s paper.

Only Goob could somehow get in the sports section without playing any sport whatsoever. Anyway, special thanks to Tony and all the kind words he wrote. Without further ado…

“A smile that draws inspiration”

We love you so much! Wish I were in Jackson to celebrate with y’all…enjoy your catfish!

As I’m sure many of you have heard, the great Braves broadcaster Skip Caray passed away yesterday. He’ll be missed by all those who knew him and listened to him broadcast. I had the pleasure of working with him a few times while I was with Braves Radio and it was always an adventure.

During my time at Braves Radio, I acquired a few outtakes. Here are my favorites…

Skip was known for his uncanny ability to know where fans were from…

Skip Loses it…

Several weeks later, Skip’s producer reminded him of that last intro just before they went on air with this one, and Skip loses it again…

Skip & Joe discuss Joe West…

Here’s a link to a great AJC article on Skip’s death.
