Man, I can’t believe we’ve only got a few more weeks in the year! Here’s the run down for Nov. 29-Dec. 12, 2021. Still finding tomatoes in the garden! Alex has been enjoying doing puzzles in front of the tv. We went to the tree farm and it started pouring down when we got there. We waited it out and ended up getting a tree! Our tradition is to go eat Chinese afterwards. On top of Christmas decorating, shopping, baking, and all that go with this season, we’re preparing for our cruise.
I’m really behind with this post, but I didn’t just not want to post it. LIFE Happenings Week 44 Week 45 Week 46 & 47 Loving that we got the shelving done in our kitchen! Happy with the way Auburn played against Bama. What an epic game! We still didn’t win, but we played our hearts out. Excited that we’re in the holiday season. Although, it can be stressful and there are parts I could do without, I always look forward to time off. Reminiscing About previous Thanksgivings… This is from 2013 in Florida.

The week before Thanksgiving wasn’t too crazy. Look at this adorable Gnome I got from Walmart dot com by accident. Put it in my cart on the Walmart app and when I went to put my pickup order in I accidentally pressed buy from both carts or something.

This last week I was happy to finally finish up this wall in our breakfast area that’s attached to the kitchen. If you remember, back in January we got this new sideboard table and when we moved the old microwave stand we discovered lots of wall issues! Here is how it’s looked since then. Look at that nasty crack. We didn’t know that the back of the drawer looked like that until we decided to change it. And hoo boy, we’re glad that we did.

Many years ago, I decided to start a new tradition. I’ve probably talked about this before, but I finally have a half way decent photo to share. Anyway, on Christmas Eve we always go to church that afternoon or evening and then the boys would come home and open their 1st gift which was always Christmas PJ’s. They did that till Drew told me he didn’t like that tradition anymore and didn’t want Christmas PJs. For a year or two after that I got Alex PJ’s and just got Drew a t-shirt of some kind. Then, when I felt like…
Happy November! Just 2 full weeks until Thanksgiving week! Do you have your turkey yet? The Braves won the World Series! So exciting! We had really hoped they’d win Sunday night when they were still home, but they ended up losing that game and then having to fly back to Houston.

Thursday Rob and I went out with some coworkers of his at Amsterdam. I got the…

How is October over already!?!?! I know many folks will be pulling out their Christmas decor soon. We don’t do that, but I will switch out all the Halloween themed decor for just fall decor. Here’s what happened for Week 43 (October 25-31, 2021)! On Tuesday, on my way home I noticed the protestors downtown, but couldn’t get a shot until I had passed them. Here they are in my rear view mirror. They were protesting the Auburn University vaccine mandate. Thursday was my day to give myself a shot of Ozempic shot on my own. As you can see…
