Taters, Maters and Mullets.. Oh My!!

Had an awesome non-weekend weekend..

Now, I've got one 8 hour shift between me and

a weekend to recover from my

non-weekend weekend..

 

The Helmick Nation journeyed across

 the great state of Missouri to root

for Andrew Helmick's Ram debut.

What a debut it was!

7 minutes left in the game, the Rams

were down 19-0.

Andy finally got his shot.

 

His mom Jeanie and half of our crew

erupted in a cheer so loud from the lower level

that it caught the attention of the camera man and the

pressbox above.  Not only did they make the

game coverage?  They also showed Andy

on the field right after that talking

about how much support he had from family

and friends.  Awesome.

 

What could be even better than that? 

His first pass??

CAUGHT!

He gained 30 yards!

Second pass?

Batted down from a GB Packer defender,

although Andy almost managed to catch it!!

Third pass?

CAUGHT!!

He picked up a couple more yards

before getting knocked

out of bounds.

All in all???

Awesome!

Fantastic!

Wonderful!

Such a great debut of a young man who defied the

odds and would never say never.

Whatever happens is in someone else's hands,

but lemme tell ya!  I think the Ram's

have seen so many great things from Andy.

They would be crazy not to keep him on that 53 man roster!

My favorite souvenier from the game..  : )..

 

Other activities this weekend included a Sunday

morning brunch at a local St. Louis winery,

trips past a farm selling "Taters and Maters!"

and a gas station selling mullets.

It was a long drive, a great time

and then a long drive with wine stops here

and there.  One more day and

then I can rest..  : )..
