One of my former student workers recently posted an awesome link to facebook and it’s just too good not to share. I’ve spent an hour just scrolling through. It’s called Underground New York Public Library, which “is a visual library featuring the Reading-Riders of the NYC subways” by Ourit Ben-Haim. A concept so simple yet… Read More »

Here’s my first of probably at least 7 posts about our cruise earlier this month that will include lots of cruising tips. They may be a little spread out, but I’m just super busy now and am working on writing these up and going through photos as I have time. Friday we left to head… Read More »
Saturday was Scout Day at Auburn University’s football game, which means all Scouts and Scout leaders get in free! It was an 11:20 kick off which made for another early day. Rob is in charge of giving out tickets for the Boy Scouts, so we had to be on campus at 9am. We took the… Read More »
As if it weren’t difficult enough coming back from a week long vacation. Getting back to reality after a week away is just down right hard. We’ve also had (one or more) furry little creatures inhabit our home while we were away. A water leak in the kitchen, which has now caused damage. To-do-lists piled… Read More »
Friday was a busy day. As much as I had hoped to get a lot of items marked off my to-do-list, it just didn’t happen. I spent about half a day at work. Fridays are not usually days that I work but it was our Open House. I was on the committee for that, so… Read More »
This month I was happy about: getting away from it all for a week. This month I was sad about: coming back to all and dealing with a water leak, water damage, and rodents who decided to inhabit our house while we were gone. Something I accomplished this month is: getting my water bill fixed… Read More »
This month has been crazy!! I have been swamped with soccer league and soccer tourney pics the last month. I’ve barely had time to be excited about sailing on Saturday…OK, I admit, I’ve made time to be excited about our cruise. This past weekend me and a friend who I hired to help me shoot… Read More »
This month I was happy about: the excitement of going on the cruise. This month I was sad about: the death of Bob Birch (Long time guitarist for Elton John) & Neil Armstrong. Somethings I accomplished this month are: getting the soccer league pictures taken. Now when I get back, I have to finish editing… Read More »
While discussing the fact we’ll get to eat lobster on the cruise, Drew says, “I’m not sure I like crustaceans!” I laughed for 5 minutes straight after that.
Yah, so I’m just a few months late getting this story up. Nothing too exciting really. I just needed pictures of the thing was the main hold back. A friend of ours was moving and hence, selling a bunch of stuff. One of the things they were getting rid of was this scooter. We thought… Read More »
School finally started today! It was supposed to start 2 weeks ago, but just before school was out our state legislature decided to mandate schools to start later this year. For years they’ve been talking about forcing schools to start after Aug. 20th, because “it’s hurting our beach tourism.” Anyway, we were all happy for… Read More »
Today at work a lady called in reference to her son’s bursar bill that had a fine for a book that was never turned in. She wanted to know what the title of the book was. Well with a specific question like that we get into the issue with privacy. I politely told her due… Read More »
This month I was happy about: vacationing in the mountains. This month I was sad that: the passing of Rob’s Grandmother. Somethings I accomplished this month were: 2 steps forward, 1 step back to getting the house as clean as I would like it. Something new I did was: go see Aerosmith in concert. Books… Read More »
I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever! I am so far behind and with each passing day, I get farther and farther behind. It’s so frustrating, but life has been so busy. Although, it’s summer, it sure doesn’t feel like except for the HEAT outside. Sometimes I think life would be easier if we… Read More »
Thursday, Rob, Drew, 2 other friends of ours, and I went to Atlanta to see Cheap Trick and Aerosmith. Aerosmith’s plays list could have been better, but over all great concert. Pictures courtesy of wjactv.com & creativeloafing.com Aerosmith’s Playlist: Draw the Line Love in an Elevator Same Old Song and Dance Livin’ on the Edge… Read More »
Sunday we headed out to the Track Rock Gap Archaeological Area to see petroglyphs made by Native Americans. Most of them were so weather-warn you could hardly make out the shapes, but I just stood there closed my eyes and imagined the Natives pounding away at the rocks to make those carvings. Amazing! We left… Read More »
Saturday was kind of a lazy day, much to Rob’s chagrin. He and my FIL, David, ended up going to the store for steaks and also to check out a couple spots. After they got back we ate lunch and decided to go tubing at Pappy’s. Every time we left the cabin, we passed this… Read More »
Friday we got up, had a quick breakfast, and headed out to see if we could get any fish to bite. Since we needed to find out a good place to fish and get some bait, so we stopped at Paradise Bait and Tackle. We saw signs for it as we drove toward the river.… Read More »
Atlanta Braves Welcome Legends of the Game for Third Annual Alumni Weekend Alumni Softball Game (1992 Braves vs. Braves Alumni) So cool I got this shot. Here you see Mark Wohlers running from 1st to 2nd base. He had actually just batted the ball back with his hand. So funny! Between the softball game and… Read More »
