My New Saturday Happy Place

My new Happy Place


I have a new Happy Place this fall on Saturdays. After ten straight years of buying season tickets to Auburn football games, we have come to the decision that our lives are too busy to fit in going to the Plains on Saturdays.  Our girls' schedules are so busy with extra curricular activities that we just can't run ourselves ragged in the fall any more. I LOVE Auburn. It's my Happy Place on Saturdays in the fall. The smells of food coming from the tailgates, friendly shouts of War Eagle, a sea of orange and blue, browsing the book stores, seeing familiar faces, Tiger Walk, the eagle soaring over Jordan Hare, and the all important Tigers running on to the field to the tune of the Fight Song being played by the band are enough to make me misty eyed. Sigh. So now my new Saturday Happy Place is my TV room. I'm good with it. It's a new season in our lives. And the part I like best is, when the game is over, I can turn off the TV and lights and go to bed. War Eagle!!

  1. Hello Leigh. So good to know you and your family through your profile on the blogger. I am glad that I could stop by your blog and the post on it dated 8th September "Simple Joys" I am so glad to know that you are a christian family and have a love for the Lord and His Kingdom. About me I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 33 yrs in the great city of Mumbai a city with great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the broken hearted and to give new life,hope, purpose and future. We also encourage young people as well as adults from the West to come to Mumbai on a short term missions trip to work with us. We would love to have your young teen aged children along with their friends to come on a short term missions trip to work with us. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon.
