    Samford Hall Clock Tower Tour

    February 16, 2024 - By 

    With all the bad that comes out of social media, there are good things that come from it too. This story starts off with a random message from one of my former student workers, Jordan. It was just part of her insta story one day, asking if anyone could help her finish her Auburn Bucket List. She asked, “Does anyone know how I can get up to the Samford Clock Tower for my birthday?” I happen to be sitting in my living room across from Rob. Due to Rob’s job, he knows a lot of people on campus. I asked…

    1. What does love mean to you? Love is a choice you have to make everyday. Love is a verb, not a noun. Love is showing up…even when you don’t feel like it. Love is putting others before yourself. 2. Is love blind? I’m not sure, but what I do know is… I think people can be attractive not just in the way they look. I’ve seen the most attractive people, but then they either open their mouth to speak or their actions completely change how I see them. Yet you may have someone who’s not all that good looking,…

You can start reading about here>>> Beginning. However, if you’re not interested in the long story, to sum it up in 3 words; We met online! I don’t have a ton of pics of us from then, because you know back in the 1990’s, we didn’t carry cameras around with us like we do now. 🙂 ~~~~~~~~~~~ Feel free to jump in with the link up on one of these blogs: Joanne / Dara…

    1. Something you’ve waited for recently? Waiting for TV shows to come back on, since the strike. Most of my shows will start back this month or next. 2. What’s something you loved to do as a child? Growing up I loved to ride my bike and to swing on the porch swing in my front yard. 3. Something you learned from a grandparent? Well, my grandparents raised me, so really learned a lot from them. My granddad taught me to be generous. He was such a generous man, who loved Christmas so much. He taught me a love for…

    1. January 29th is National Puzzle Day. Do you enjoy puzzles? What kind (crossword, jigsaw, sudoku, etc)? How often do you work a puzzle? I like puzzles ok. My younger son and I really enjoyed puzzles during the COVID shutdown. There are several puzzle apps that I enjoy: Cube Block, Figgerits, and Cross Math just to name a few. 2. Something you currently find ‘puzzling’? Maybe not so much puzzling, but I’m curious to know why Auburn University just fired a winning Women’s Tennis Coach earlier this week along with one of the assistants. I don’t follow tennis, but I…

It looked so good. + One day when I was at home for lunch, I went to let Kayleigh in and realized she was muddy. She is such a tom boy. 🙂 + Drew turned 26 and we all shared the margarita tower. + Before Christmas Rob had bought…

    1. Do you have a word for the year (WOTY)? If so, and you’d like to share, please share. How do you decide on a word? If you don’t have a word are you still on the hunt for one for 2024? I did the word of the year once, I believe. Every year I’m like I’m going to choose a word and every year I feel like it’s the same thing, so I don’t do it. 2. January 23rd is National Pie Day…will you celebrate? Do you like pie? What’s your favorite? I do like pie, but it’s not…
