October 2021

 

October was so much fun!  The weather is always still pretty great in Southern Indiana.  We enjoyed a lot of time with family and friends.

We had a "Ted Lasso" watch party with our friends.  We LOVE the show and it was so fun to plan.  Theme parties make me very very happy.

The boys came home for a couple of days for their Fall Breaks (which did not really line up).  Brennan surprised us with a beard!

We loved spending some quality time with them and the dogs especially liked the extra attention!

I mean really :)

We celebrated David's birthday with friends at dinner.  A really fun night!

Brittany and I hosted our 2nd RomCom Love podcast show at YES Cinema!  We had a lot of friends in attendance.  We all watched "Miss Congeniality" on the big screen and then recorded our 58th episode!

Our wine club had a great visit to Indy.  We started at Pins Mechanical in the old BottleWorks district where we played duckpin bowling and pinball while watching football of course.  Then we headed to dinner at Union 50.  Such a fun night!

David and I sat out on the front porch for Halloween.  Do you see our little helpers in the window?

And I finished all my vaccines - 3 Moderna, 2 Shingles, and 1 Flu.  Done for the year!

Hope you're having a great November!

September 2021

 It was nice to have the boys home for a couple of days for Fall Break.  Brennan heads back to Purdue today.  They both are doing homework, mid-term projects and studying for mid-terms but I'm sure it was nice to have a couple days off from classes.

Over Labor Day weekend they were home for a short time as well. 

We went on an excursion to see the new Exhibit Columbus artwork.  

Our friend Ginger had a surprise 60th birthday party for her husband John.  We helped with the big surprise (especially surprising since his big day is not until November).

Remy and I were goofing around one day.

Girlfriends and I went to see Michael Buble in concert in Louisville. Such a great night!

John and Ginger are enjoying the Jeep life.  We joined them at Hard Truth Hills for a Sunday outing.  Such fun!

David and I took a quick trip to Naples, FL for a get-away.  My girls trip to Austin was cancelled since they were at Level 5 at the time and the doctor in our trip was not excited about the risk.  Our friends loaned us their gorgeous condo right on the beach.  We ate all the seafood, watched football, and read on the beach.  It was heaven.

We had dinner with friends at 4th Street Bar before the 4th Street interactive presentation took place in honor of our county's Bicentennial.  It was very very cool!

For Father's Day I got tickets to the Purdue/Illinois game.  David and the boys had a great time.  I stayed home with step throat but hope to go again soon.

Book Club was held outdoors at Todd and April's around the firepit.  We discussed "The Last Train to Key West" on a gorgeous fall night.

Happy Fall Y'all!

August 2021

 

August is here and gone!  When did that happen?  We had a great month.

My girlfriends from the mid 90s, Robin and Kelly.  We get together about once a year and it's always fantastic to see them!

Grabbed a couple of photos of sleeping dogs in Dad's lap.

Bailey, age 7

Before Brennan headed back to school, we had a fun Sunday afternoon in Indy - lunch and axe throwing!

We went in with our friends John and Ginger to purchase a case of Georgia peaches from the Peach Truck.  We ate several but froze the majority.  So yummy.

And we moved Brennan into his first apartment!  He picked out some great furniture - only a portion of it has been delivered so far, hopefully by mid October it will all arrive.  He has a nice set up with a short walk to campus.  It definitely beats last year's dorm during COVID!

David and I enjoyed one of the many Bicentennial events going on this year.  Lots of displays at the Pump House where we joined our friends to walk through the event and then have lunch out on the patio.

While Remy is initially nervous around everyone who comes to the house, he absolutely adores Brittany.  So when she comes over to podcast with us, he goes straight to her and doesn't let go :)  

David and I were matching heading out to Jayne and Charlie's for book club!

Jayne and Charlie outdid themselves for our "Where the Crawdads Sing" discussion (postponed 18 months due to COVID).  

We had a pitch in shrimp boil!  It was amazing!

We had so much fun this summer watching "College Bowl" with host Peyton Manning and big brother Cooper Manning.  Of course we were watching Ellie DOMINATE as Auburn's team captain.  They made it to the semifinals and they did just an awesome job.  It was a great show, but seeing Eleanor Covington on the big screen (and a shout of from mom, dad, and little brother too), made it way more special.  So proud of you Ellie!

And now, Happy Fall Y'all!
