    Monthly Digest – September 2022

    September 28, 2022 - By 

    Another month has flown by. Here’s my Monthly Digest for September 2022! LIFE Happenings We had a great Labor Day weekend. Rob went to Atlanta one Friday morning and instead of driving he took the Groom Transportation which takes people from Auburn to the Atlanta airport. He did this because he was meeting some vendors he works with that were in Atlanta for conference earlier in the week. They were going to talk business for the afternoon and take in a Braves game. One of the guys, Jeff is from the Boston area. He and Rob have bonded over zoom…

    Mizzou

    September 26, 2022 - By 

    On our way to Kansas City, we stopped in Columbia, MO to see Mizzou (University of Missouri). Funny enough, my school, Auburn just played Mizzou this last weekend in football. I was there to see these 2 terrible teams play and at the end it was a calamity of errors that ended up going into over time. We ended up winning, but it was so ugly. I think that will be the only SEC game we win this season. Mizzou is a beautiful campus. I have a new appreciation for it for sure. The story of these columns is interesting.…

    St. Louis Trip::Day 5

    September 22, 2022 - By 

    Today I’m sharing about our last full day in St. Louis. At this point in the trip, Rob was done with his conference. We had a few hours in St. Louis before we ubered a rental car place that offers airport limousine services and Limo Rental Solutions so that we could go explore some other areas. That morning we had tickets to ride up the Gateway Arch, so we got up early enough to walk there and grab some breakfast. We stopped at Chili Mac’s Diner (510 Pine St, St. Louis, MO 63101). From there we walked over to the…

    Labor Day Weekend 2022

    September 21, 2022 - By 

    We had a really good Labor Day weekend, so I thought I’d share about it. On Saturday, it was the 1st Auburn football game of the season. Rob had to get to the stadium early for work, so I rode with Drew & Caitlyn to campus. It was a fun game. In the 2nd half there was lightening, which we couldn’t see. It ended up getting closer, so the game was delayed. We hung out in the corridors of the stadium, but we kept seeing lots of lightening. We elected to wait for the rain to slow down and then…

    St. Louis Trip::Clydesdale VIP Tour [Day 4]

    September 15, 2022 - By 

    Today I’m sharing another adventure while we were in St. Louis. We took an uber over to the Budweiser Brewery for the Clydesdale VIP Tour. When you get there you check in at the counter and then you can hang out in the display area and look and read about the history of the company and how their beer is made. And just so I can remember COVID related stuff, these next two pictures are cute. When its time for the tour to start, they lead you out through the back doors. There you see the Clydesdale Semis that they…

    St. Louis Trip::Day 3

    September 14, 2022 - By 

    I am continuing to share about our St. Louis trip today. I ubered over to the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I was honestly just scared to take public transportation. I’m sure I would have been fine since it was daytime, but I still decided to Uber. I am really into gardening and flowers and I knew I would enjoy seeing one of the oldest botanical institutions in the U.S. I didn’t do much research beforehand, but I did purchase the ticket ahead of time online ($14). I went in with the mindset I wanted to see the entire thing, but once…
