    PICS 1: The Auburn University Marching Band (AUMB) along with the Auburn Wind Symphony band performed at the new performing arts center. It was amazing to see 300+ band members on the stage. My son Drew is not in the AUMB this year, but we still enjoyed supporting the bands. 2: It got really cold last week, really fast! Lows in the 20’s, highs in the 40’s. Then it warmed back up a bit. 3: I laugh so hard anytime Rob is sitting on the couch and the cat jumps up there and crawls in his lap. It’s funny because…

    PICS 1: We started out the month with a quick trip to Atlanta to see Elton John in his Farewell tour. That weekend was his last time to perform in Atlanta before he retires in the next year or 2. Rob is such a big Elton fan and is sad that he won’t be touring anymore, but understands that he is 72 years old and wants to spend time with his family. It was such a great concert with all his greatest hits and a few lesser known songs. That man played for 3 straight hours and Ray Cooper (percussionist)…

    As you can see from the title I am behind my weekly posts for an entire month. Sheesh! Time flies. Between Drew leaving for his internship and school getting out for Alex, a trip to Seattle, and a coworker dying, my boys going to Omaha, the last month has gone by so fast and I’ve had no time to document life. So I’m going to try and get everything up to date here. PICS These pics go from 5.19-26.2019. 1: My nieces stayed with us over the Memorial Day weekend, which also happens to be their recital weekend. They were…

    PICS 1: Last Sunday we had the most gorgeous flowers at church. 2: This is a grub or something, I dunno. Anyone know what it is? As I’ve shared before, I’m currently a little or a lot obsessed with herbs, vegetables, and house plants. So I noticed this little guy hanging out on the siding of my house near my plants. 3: This is one of my new plants. It’s Thai Basil. It had flowered before I got it, so I need to pick all those off. They say that flowering Thai Basil changes the flavor. 4: Alex decided to…

    Again another week that has me quite stressed out and posting my weekly update has slid to the bottom of to do list. PICS 1: Drew’s girlfriend graduated from Auburn University! I need to write a post about all the graduation weekend. 2: I took this picture last week when having to walk across campus for something work related. 3: This is my desk where I sat for the last several years. I moved my desk since there is finally someone taking my old position. It will be a fairly long transition, but I’m happy it’s starting at least. 4:…

    I’m late getting my weekly post up, but it’s been a crazy weekend and this week hasn’t really slowed down either. But here it is! PICS 1: Last Sunday, I was outside and noticed this little one flying around. I’m amazed at the pics an iPhone gets sometimes. 2: Daisy cracks me up the way she lays half in half out of her bed. 3: Alex had an orthodontist appointment. Their new building is so pretty. 4: One day last week I got out of my car in the parking deck and work. I looked over and saw this squirrel…

    Hey ya’ll! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Easter. Our Easter as good. I made Easter lunch which was a total hit with my family and then everyone pretty much scattered so we my family and Rob’s brother gathered up some stuff to go out to the lake. I’ll talk more about that in another post. PICS As you can see I didn’t take many pics this last week. Alex had a soccer game and a friend of ours who’s son is on the team got this shot of him and texted it to me. He’s in purple.…

    PICS 1: Last Sunday at church was the children’s play with a Back to the Future Theme. It was so cool, they had a DeLorean out front for people to look at. 2: That afternoon my nieces played LaCrosse. 3: I’ve had a plan to purchase these Magnetic Spice Storage Tins for months, but I’m pretty thrifty, so everyone once in a while I’ll look on amazon. When I found them for about a $1 each, I jumped on it. I put them on the fridge and I love the way it turned out. I frees up counter space and…

    What a wEeK it has been! Ups and down and highs and lows! I know the last few weeks have looked similar with pics of Drew in different arenas and things. I’m not sure I’m encapsulating my weeks fully, but I’m going the best I can trying to keep up. 🙂 PICS 1: The week started off with another huge win for Auburn’s Men’s Basketball Team against Kentucky to send them to the final four. However, after that game Drew is finished with pep band for the season. Even though our team rallied in OT to beat Kentucky and got…

    PICS – Even thought it’s barely March it’s fun to see the blooms of plants and flowers. – Every Monday, Rob and I take a long lunch so we can go to handbell practice at church. Rob’s sister and mom play with in the same handbell choir with us. – Now that we have Panera in my building, grabbing an easy lunch there is tempting. On Wednesday, I got the Cuban. – I had a $25 off coupon from Zappos so I ordered these shoes. I love their look. I’m just not sure they fit like I want them too.…

    In the last couple of years, I have quit writing posts to recap my week or month and while many of you might not find them interesting, I enjoy looking back through time and remembering what was going on. I think I’m going to start doing a weekly post on Mondays called “The Weekly.” I’ve seen this from some other bloggers and I kinda dig it. PICS – Every Monday when I drop Alex off at scouts I make the block and I see my building where I work on campus. It really looks cool at night. – Last week…
