I’m baaaack!! Still typing one handed for the most part, but will be slowly trying to play catch up. Here’s my weekly highlights from surgery week. + Rob and I ate Chinese the night before my surgery and my fortune quite true! + Day of surgery (Tuesday) – it went well – I’ll write more when i can type better with both hands + Thursday – Got to take bandages off and got a shower! 100% could not have done all this without Rob. + Friday – Rob and i went to the baseball game vs kentucky (2 pics) +…
+ Last week, I spent several days getting most of my seedlings planted out. I up-potted my peppers, but did not plant them outside yet. I’ll have to get someone to help me plant those out when they get bigger. + Kayleigh…just because + Alex and the kitchen crew took a picture with Auburn University’s football coach the night before the spring game (A Day) last Friday night. + Friday, I went with Rob to the baseball game vs Tennessee.

I made some Keto brownies. + On our work board, the prompt was to draw a bunny. This is mine. + Rob and Me at church on Easter + Easter lunch – this year we decided to go to Rob’s mom and stepdad’s since it was just the 5 of us. Drew and his wife were going to her grandparents and Alex had to work.
I realized last week, that my weekly posts were Sunday to Saturday, but I really like to have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in one posts, so I’m going back to having these posts Monday to Sunday for anyone that noticed… So before I jump into last week’s highlights, I gotta say. I’m 2 weeks away from surgery and the pain is getting worse by the day. I’m not sure how much I’m going to be able to blog from here on out. I am trying to finish up with a series that will run after surgery to give me time…
Here’s highlights from last week… + Drew’s dog, Bigsby, spent the day at our house on Monday, because he had fertilized their yard. + Monday later afternoon was my back/neck MRI.

+ I have over 30 Apple Watch Bands…Yeah, I’m kind of addicted. I guess I should have put that on my recent post that asked what I collected! Haha!

I walked over to the student center on campus to see the new Aubie statue. + The flowers, especially the Tulips on campus are gorgeous! + Alex celebrated his 20th birthday…

I kept an eye on my weather app to make sure there wasn’t any lightening near by. +…
Here’s a few highlights from last week! + Tuesday – Drew came over to visit me. He invited me to go to the baseball game with him. + This TENS unit has been such a big help with my back, neck, and shoulder pain lately. + Monday – Back to the orthopedic dr to get my shoulder MRI results. Not good news. I have a tear in rotator cuff and bicep tendon. So I need surgery. Trying to wait till May, so that I can hold my niece when we go Texas in April. It’s a long recovery – 6…

Not surprising we won big! + Reading “Hello Stranger” – really good so far! + Just me
Looking back at my pics from last week, I didn’t take nearly as many. It was also a pretty chill week and no sporting events. + Went to Mexican for Drew’s birthday, and Alex got this really cool looking meal. I still need to ask him again what it was called. 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…

I debated on continuing my weekly summary posts. I decided to continue sharing them, but looking back at my some weekly posts from years ago, I decided to try to get back to a more abbreviated layout. So here is the 1st one for 2024!! One of my Christmas gifts from my Amazon list was this Bento container that I used to bring my breakfast in to work. I like it. I just wish the stackable snapped together. Another Christmas gift that I’ve been enjoying are my new cat/dog socks from Trey. I love fun socks. I find so much…
Finishing up my 2023 Weekly highlight posts. Here we are for Week 51 (Dec. 18-24) and Week 52 (Dec. 25-31)! On Dec. 15th we headed down to Florida to get on a cruise ship, so I’ll be writing separate posts about that week soon. Here’s a pic that makes me laugh. This was when were in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The kids acting like our popperazzi. We got back to Auburn on Dec. 23rd and quickly began to unpack and wash clothes. Rob’s Dad and Step Mom (Randy & Pam) got into town that day and were actually staying with…
Highlights for Week 50 11-15, 2023 Our neighbor behind us cut down some trees that were covering their backyard, but they were actually in our yard. We were ok with it. We saw Sandi Patty at the Gogue. After years of working at the university, we finally got invited to the President’s Christmas party. We had a lovely time. Such a beautiful home and event space. Chocolate chip bars for the two parties this week Bible Study Christmas party at my new church 🙂 Ending this weekly highlight a little early for the holidays! I’ve got a couple posts scheduled…
Here we are for another highlight post for week Dec. 4-10 2023 Old couches New couches…They very much look the same, but they are different brands. We’re just happy to have firmer couches that aren’t so dilapidated. We got our yard smoothed out and resodded. To God be the Glory! What a beautiful sunset I got to see one night when I was out getting some shopping done. Every year at my work holiday lunch, they draw names for door prizes. In the 12 years, I’ve been here I’ve never won. I finally won!! I picked out this pretty tree.…
Another week down (Nov. 27-Dec 3, 2023) and how are we so close to the end of the year?!?!? This is not deja vu or a picture from a month ago. Yes, we had to have more of our yard dug up…luckily only dirt this time and not driveway. Our water main had a leak in it. I’m thankful we hadn’t had our yard fixed and resodded yet. We saw Mean Girls at the Gogue. It was pretty good. Saturday, we went and got our tree. Drew and Caitlyn also got a tree. It was supposed to be monsooning that…
Here we are for our weekly highlights for Thanksgiving Week (Nov 20-26, 2023). Basketball game with Rob. Got to see one of my student workers dance during a timeout as she is a Tiger Paw. Thanksgiving Day Snacks to get us by till dinner. What a spread! My kids and their other halves and their little cousin Drew is so good with his cousins. Lots of work and fun in the kitchen! Alex made from scratch a pumpkin cheese cake and that was the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted! Love that he’s sharing his chef skills with us. He also…
