Dear saleman at King Honda, Please quit making unsolicited phone calls to my home and cell phone. No, really! I don’t want to trade in my 1994 Acura Legend. That’s why I haven’t answered my phone since the first time you called last year! Just fair warning, next time you call, you will be sorry! MM Dear Charter, We pay you tons of money and we’d appreciate if our cable, internet, and phone would all work! Thanks much! Dear me, Quit being sick! We have too much we need to be doing, don’t you think? Thanks! Dear Memorial Day weekend,…

Today I took Drew to the dentist, because last week at his orthodontist appointment, they expressed that he was still having over crowding and they felt it necessary to remove 4 permanent teeth. Do this this will make more room and allow the teeth to spread out a bit so his front teeth don’t have to jut forward anymore. So after sitting in the waiting room for about 20 minutes chatting with the office manager who I’m friends with, Drew was done. The Hygienist shared that there was a little more blood than they’re used to, so he needs to…

Friday, I went to Alex’s class for the Mom & Me Tea, well, there was lemonade. The class read a poem called, “I’m Trying So Hard” It was so sweet. I wished I would have videoed it! Here’s the poem: I’m trying so hard To be really good, And do all the things I know that I should. But, I’m just a kid, Mom, I’m messy and slow, I don’t eat my veggies, And I’ll clean my room, I know! And I don’t pick my toys up, And I don’t like my bath, I’m trying to learn my spelling, And…

Saturday we dropped Drew off at a friend’s house as he would be riding up with another player for the 3rd game of state cup. The rest of us ventured over to Columbus, GA for part of a day. It was the 2nd Annual Scout Expo. Pack 29 didn’t have a booth, but we wanted to go check out the expo. Lots of fun activities, from mystery boxes to making carpenter bee houses. Aubie showed up to join in on the fun Life size Angry Birds Miniature size Angry Birds Making rope Cool car Although, Drew wasn’t able to attend…

Dear week, No offense, but I am so glad you’re over! That is all! MM Dear driver, When you’re sitting at a red light, do you forget that your car has windows? Yes, you may feel like you’re in your own little world, but I can see you digging in your nose. It’s gross. MM Dear Toomer’s Oaks, I’ve loved seeing the new leaves bloom this spring. I drove by as they were pruning you this week. I sat at a long red light and watched them trim away dead branches. I pray that will help you to continue to…

Last weekend, we ventured up to North Alabama, because Drew was competing in State Cup Soccer. He had a game Friday night and Sunday morning. Since we were going to have all Saturday with no games, we decided to stay about an hour away from the fields at Joe Wheeler State Park in the Lodge. Nice, large rooms with beautiful views of the lake. If you’re looking for a pristine place to stay I would not recommend this place. Although, it was nice and fine for us, someone who is looking for super clean won’t be happy. Since it is…

Last weekend we were up in Decatur, AL, we made a quick trip up to Ethridge, TN to visit the Amish community that Rob had heard about. We did it on a bit of whim after putting gas in the car, so we did not know exactly where to go. We followed the signs to the Lawrenceburg Visitor Center until had driven all the way through to Ethridge. We ended up seeing this sign, where we turned down a dirt road that dead ended to a quaint house and shop building. As we got close to the house a young…

-Drew washed his cell phone in the washer. There was a loud banging noise after I started up the dryer, so I stopped it to see what was in there. In case this happens on your washer, better have it checked by an expert in washer and dryer repair. I was happy it wasn’t an ink pen, but was really sad to see it was his phone. We haven’t tried the rice trick yet, because I don’t have any plain rice to put it in. We just have it sitting out with the battery separated from the phone. So we’ll…

Today Drew played in the 2nd of game of the State Cup. He got to play on the field with the stadium type bleachers and a press box. I like this shot because it looks like he’s running on air. Photography/editing blurb: I cropped this a bit and I debated whether to crop out the other pair of legs in the right hand corner. I didn’t want to crop it in a portrait style and I also didn’t want to cut off Drew’s legs, so I think the only way to crop would be in a square. I wasn’t real…

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. ~Romans 6:4 (NIV) I love photography and love the Bible.

Dear Dr. Principal, I’m flattered that you think I’m an 8th or 9th grader. Although, I find it sad that my child says you don’t know any of the students and he’s not surprised you would make such mistake. Now that you have your PhD, maybe you should work on getting to know your parents and students. Not meaning to sound sarcastic, just stating the way I feel… MM Dear Magnolia Mom (that’s me), Don’t take a offense when people from other departments call your department, hear your voice and assume that you are a student. Take this as a…

Today Rob and I made a purchase… More about this later. This or That Thursday

Drew enjoyed a great trip to Disney with the band last week. He didn’t have a camera, but here’s a few pics one of his friends took. See a few more pics here.

I just love living in Auburn. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We are so lucky to live here for so many reasons. When we’re visiting other towns and they have city events like this and they charge, I just feel so thankful that every spring I know we can go just down the road and enjoy a day of free fun and entertainment. Live music, other live entertainment, bouncy houses for the kids, lots of free stuff, art vendors, yummy food. It’s great! This year the boy scouts had a booth, which I talked about here.…

This year Rob was in charge of the Scout booth at Auburn City Fest. It was the first year to do this and I think it was great. He and other scout leaders are constantly looking for ways to promote scouting and they came up with having an area in the Child’s Imagination Station are of City Fest this year. The Monkey Bridge was quite a hit Boys got to earn a ticket that they could take to an upcoming Pack meeting and turn in for a belt loop when they join Cub Scouts! See a few more pics here.

Dear txting student, I know you must have some pressing information to pass along in the form of a txt, but why don’t you wait till you have finished crossing the street? Thanks much! Someone who would like to NOT run you over Dear leftover Easter candy (specifically chocolate), Why must you call my name so loudly from the depths of the pantry? I’m thinking if I hurry up and devour all of you, then I don’t have to resist you any longer. And that way you won’t be taking up that space in the pantry any more….ha ha! Your…
