Weekend Wrap-up and Stitching Progress

 My post is slim pickings today. We did go to Auburn for the weekend and I took no pictures. I just didn't get around to it. I did enjoy the trip and I even got to wear some pants and a short sleeved shirt for most of the weekend....it was just a wee bit cooler over the weekend. 

Lindsay shared the following picture and a wonderful video of Tucker doing our Auburn chant...Waaaaaar Eagle, Hey! He was adorable.

I can truly say having SEC football back was wonderful!!!!!!! For just a few hours on Sunday it ALMOST seemed normal. 

Not completely, because what it felt like was an away game in Auburn rather than a home game. We watched from our home and could hear a bit of stadium action but even that was a lot softer with only 17,000 in the stadium.

I am really just glad it is happening though.

I must say that one thing that can come out of 2020 for me is that football season can start a little later in September like it did back in the 1970s. Go back to 10 games a season and start mid to late September and just add some extra games to the playoffs is WHAT I SAY! I seriously doubt anyone is listening or cares.

I do have a picture to note in my blog. The man on the right below is our head coach, Gus Malzahn. He is dressed like one of our great former coaches who died this year, Pat Dye. I could not love this tribute that Gus did for Coach Dye. I somehow think Coach Dye would have loved this. He made that striped tie famous in Auburn. It looks just like Coach Dye.

The picture came from Twitter.

We ate out both evenings in town outside with good friends and then ordered food to eat at game time, so no cooking was done, but I really want to go again soon and cook some soup, light a fire, and sit outside all day. It was not cool enough for the fire yet.

Lindsay had a birthday on Friday and we celebrated on Sunday evening.

I did manage to get a photo of her with the pie she requested. 

We all piled up in the kitchen rather than the dining room this year, so Tucker wanted to sit on the stool with Grammie. That was fine with me! 

When I got up to get the pie server out of the drawer behind us, he also decided turn around and see what he could did out of the drawer.

He is getting so big and we will be celebrating his second birthday next month.

That was the weekend wrap-up...now onto stitching progress.

I have been stitching on three things. It is almost making me crazy. I had to wait on floss to come in to start the Liberty Sampler, but I did get a start on it.

I have made a small bit of progress on the heron. It isn't going to seem like much for awhile, since I started at the bottom and am doing the water and water lilies.

I am also still working on my flowers. This one is a Cherokee Rose and I also had to wait on a floss color for it, so the month of September was a lot of waiting. Patience and gratefulness for floss that could be ordered were the words of September.

I woke up to a little cool this morning and it feels amazing. I might even get to wear long sleeves today, but either way there will be some time spent outside walking, bike riding, or puttering in my flowers for certain.

The flowers are in need of attention and turning to fall and winter flowers thoughts and planning.

Happy day all,

Sandy
