2nd Thought

Now that I think about it, Auburn was technically a run away - he left us!

Lost

Monday evening at feeding time, my Auburn did not eat. I took him out via the front door to see if he needed to potty first due to us being home all day. Meanwhile my husband let Jasmine out the back door when she did finish eating. Both dogs came back into the house via different doors. Auburn was still not interested in eating. I went back to uploading pictures in our computer room. Came back out about 20 mins later to see if Auburn had eaten. He had not nor could I find him. In my search, I discovered that our gate to the deck was not locked from earlier (our back door had been open all day for the dogs to enjoy the beautiful weather). We immediately starting looking for Auburn outside. My husband found him very quickly, not sure where nor do I really want to know because he was not in our yard. I was in pure panic mode and could not think straight. Just glad the nightmare was brief!

Family Reunion

Kelly & Michael

This weekend was my 8th trip to the annual family reunion in Gatlinburg, TN. Arrived in the burg by 10:30am Friday morning. Elisabeth and I headed out for the Pancake House for breakfast while the hubby headed out with his dad for a little family fishing. As we walked down, we noticed that Alabama fans were already out and about in full force. Got seated by noon and while in line Elisabeth decided she no longer wanted pancakes but instead wanted lunch. Luckily, they do serve lunch! Some guy even stopped at our table to comment on the fact that she was eating a burger - I wonder if he had already hit the bottle! Elisabeth quickly replied that she was a local and that she was allowed to not eat pancakes. Finished up and headed for shops. Looked at some cool boots - we both want a pair, hint, hint! After walking around we headed back to the cabin to be on hand to greet family arriving.

It really was a beautiful weekend to be outside. Not too hot and not too cold. A group headed to the playground. Later on after lunch a few of us headed to the burg for some mini golf. After that Michael and I headed back so I could catch the Auburn vs LSU football game. We ended up winning and it was awesome - War Eagle!!! After that game was the UT vs UA game. This one didn't go so well, but I think all were prepared for a loss. A late night card game started and I headed to bed.

Sunday, we packed up and said our goodbyes to family members. On the road by 11am and the traffic was heavy. Our 5hr road trip turned into almost 7hrs just due to traffic. Glad to be home and hit the bed early.

Red

Saturday night we went to a late night showing of the movie Red. It has several great actors in it, my favorite was Bruce Willis! Pretty good, so I would recommend it to my friends.

Auburn Football

Today I watched Auburn defeat number 12 Arkansas! It was an awesome game yet again. The constant scoring back and forth was stressing me out. Worried that it would come down to the last minute, but the 4th quarter was nothing like that!!!! Final score 65-43 - highest scoring game in the SEC history. Now 7-0 in our season this year!!! I was totally wishing that I could of been throwing some toilet paper tonight, WAR EAGLE!!!!!

Lunch with Mike

Today I met my stepdad, Mike, for lunch at Cracker Barrel in Trussville. I was early so I sat down to send a text that I was sitting in a rocker out front. While doing this, I had an elderly lady ask if I could work a camera. It was a group of Red Hat Society meeting for lunch. I told her I would and the next thing I knew I had five cameras! Finished taking their group photo and was greeted by my dad. Had a nice time talking with him over lunch. BTW, it was just as crowded on this Saturday as one would typically see on a Sunday!
