Know not the answer, but know of the "Uncle Phil's Camp for DayGlo Children." (Wish I could remember who coined that phrase!) If Auburn does hikey to Nike, does that unleash a cool million new uniform threads?! 🤫🤣

That will be perfect. Maybe journaling...but she just needs time to process in her own way. ❤ Your compassion is what she'll remember.

Bless her heart. I'm so sorry. I remember losing my first pet at 8 (?). Planting some daffodil bulbs that rose every year on her burial site helped a little... ❤🙏...saying a little prayer for her tonight. She's adorable.

@Tiger Refuge, have you noticed any environmental change in your world since the quarantine began?

I never, ever, ever, EVER get tired of this movie. Andy is classic gifted with a passion for adding beauty to the mundane, hope where there is none, and perseverance in the face of incomprehensible injustice. The warden is everything that's wrong with "religion" and absolutely power-corrupt. Brooks makes me weep and anything Morgan Freeman does had me at hello. Perfect, perfect movie. Thank you for a smile today! #ritahayworth

"Self Made" on Netflix...and "The Chosen"... https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9471404/

Yesterday, in memory of my dad (b. 1941, d. 1997) and finding our present house on his April 16th birthday in 2004, we grilled steaks (his forte), enjoyed non-homemade but nonetheless fantastic blackberry (he loved to pick 'em) cobbler, and introduced our early 20-somethings to '60s-'70's "Kurt Russell Disney." No better time spent..."The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes." 6 PM CST, Sunday night's "Wonderful World of Disney." No matter your age or theirs, be sure your kids have a glimpse of life before 2020. 💖🦖🎶🦋💖

Quietest Toomers ever!

Not my typical mp3 additions, but everything this guy does is sheer genius. How on earth? Talent is supernatural.

Today, our school--teachers and staff who desired/could--did a drive-by parade through the neighborhoods in our community. If we thought we'd never be the same before, we didn't know the half of it. God is so good. And love lives on...

Where? Is? This? Yes, I was floored, too. McLoofus and I rule Florence out. 😁🤣

Has any (formerly live) tree ever gotten this much mileage?! Laissez les bon temps rouler! 😁 P.S. St. Pat's is our last stop. 🤣🦋

Super favorite old haunt...perfect for walking! Recognize, anyone?

That is GLORIOUS...thank you for sharing!

Golf, YES! I was sitting at home watching "Jot the Dot" or something akin to that, getting ready for Sunday School and church at Auburn UMC. The sonic boom was heard on Green Street. TV flickered off then on...headed off, got to Thach and Gay and knew something was up. No AUMC that day! Blew those incomparable stained glass windows to bits. Met in the Village Theater during reconstruction. Poor Parkers and Polly-Tek, too! #memories

That is AWFUL! They should be ashamed of themselves.

Cept u can't get a ticket for driving down the "wrong street" to pay another ("wrong zone parking") ticket or be halted for possible denial to "walk" at graduation because YOUR DAD has an outstanding parking ticket from taking your MOM to Telfair Peet to see a play and parking in the loading zone. Only. In. Auburn. So think of all the $$$$ Campus Police can no longer rake in. Bwess it.

And ped zones! Tons of street restructurings...

I've wondered the same thing, as for personal survival in 2020. . But I've always been an "old soul"...gasp...joining a free college ministry then instead of going the (in my mind) Greek-pay-to-be-exclusive route, so even in 1984-1988, I "got" and embraced character building...Bootery, saving by living at home, etc. To get up to 20 hours for $425 a quarter compared to tuition costs now is incomparable. By God's grace, a provisional grandmother/great-grand, and a 3x rising ACT score succession, our son is on full scholarship (minus housing). We are daily humbled that this opportunity is possible for us. I shudder not just at the cost now but at the waste of opportunity some experience given the inflation and change of "tolerable living conditions/experience expectations" that we see when we visit.

It's character-building, though! No disrespect, but I tell ours that "kids" at AU now live in nicer homes than the ones they came from...just sayin'. Something is always being built, which brings us full circle to the gorgeous torn-down gingerbread house adjacent to the former Barbecue House. There was a time when Patio Apartments and Cabana Apartments were the "It-Thing." Now...oh, don't get me started. Like I said, I lived at home, and our son lives at Auburn Christian Fellowship within walking distance of campus. Character building. One good thing the students now have, if they'll use it, is that magnificent bus which goes everywhere. My feet fell off...

Do you remember Mag Deli? THEIR CHICKEN SALAD!!!!! (I lived at home but went with my friends who were from out-of-town. They got me hooked.) My husband had access to a hot plate. That's all. Kraft Mac and cheese boxes, four for a dollar....

Ahhhh, technology. https://www.foodtasticmom.com/copycat-lunch-lady-pizza/

Thank you! There are days I forget how hard it is because I love it so much...and then there's the opposite. 😉

Kids at Pike Road, though a public school, can get Chick FilA sandwiches (outrageously priced, but they sell like hotcakes...and no pickle...that's a dealbreaker for me) on Wednesdays and personal Papa John's cheese or pepperoni pizza on Mondays. They have not accepted as proportionally much in federal lunchroom $$$...so guidelines are very different.
