 got entirely sidetracked this evening, playing with Google Calendar, and creating a music & theatre Events Calendar for my local town of Auburn Alabama. Now I need to re-trace my steps to figure out what I did exactly, but it was surprisingly fun!  Google spells out all of the steps. I always struggle with these things, so I can assure you that, even if you feel like you're all un-teched thumbs, you will smile at what you can do with this calendar :-) (SOUNDing GOOD???) and, like magic, it got into my sidebar... Truly, what would a HOME be without some MUSIC?

TODAY, at 2:00 the Auburn University Gospel and Chamber Choirs present THE MOSES HOGAN MEMORIAL FESTIVAL in Auburn Admission is FREE! Who is Moses? Moses George Hogan?? Way after the biblical Moses, and just before there were musical Blues, African American folk songs worked on the railroads, picked bales of cotton, and sang softly in the night.  These songs of slaves, also called African American spirituals, were, essentially, songs of tears. While they expressed a spiritual devotion, the songs were drawn from depths of sorrow. Much of the music gives voice to the prayers and anguish of a people, a culture, resonant with undertones of early land development in what not yet had been named 'the land of the free.'    Moses George Hogan (1957 - 2003) was a highly prized director, conductor...

TODAY, January 10, 2011 at 7:30 PM CST, the National title for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is on the line. This series showcases the best teams in college football, designed to pit the top two teams in America, against each other in the national championbship game, and the rivaling teams are the AUBURN TIGERS and the OREGON DUCKS. The Auburn Tigers have been in the national arena before, winning a national title--- but the year was 1957!  It's time to score again! I think it's quite an achievement, just to have a place in this arena, so congrats to Tiger and Duck fans everywhere, for cheering your teams on to the National Championship game. Last night's ice storm has everyone huddling into their favorite sports bar and warming up with duck wings and team spirit, awaiting the kick...

Auburn Al Real Estate ~ SOLD 1570 Marley Lane, Auburn Alabama. Listed at $425,000 and Sold at $405,000 by Mara Hawks, First Realty Auburn. This was one of the most delightful transactions I had this year. It's located in the prestigious neighborhood of East Lake, and was FOUND by a family relocating to the Auburn area. Having lived and moved quite a few times myself, including overseas, I have a heart for families relocating, and naturally tune in to the logistics of coordinating kids, school schedules, commutes, pets, new utilities, service providers in the area, and some orientation to the current buzz of the town. What made this transaction especially delightful was that I was also able to dialogue directly with the builders, HOMEWORKS of Alabama. My colleague, Armin Naismith, facili...

I discovered THE VILLAGER a few years ago, shortly after relocating to Auburn, Alabama from Colorado.  If you've ever moved to a new area, you might understand the feeling that can seem like little pieces of you are missing in the new landscape. For me it was the height of mountains and crystal clear streams, colors captured in waterfalls & rocks, animated forests & forms and the seeming magic of changing seasons and skies... Pablo Picasso once said that Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. One day (and many thereafter) I walked through the door of THE VILLAGER and found breathing room, or, as some might call it, 'a breath of fresh air'... I slowly turn the pages of surroundings and impressions that tend to trigger a soulful resonance, listening to everyday words in forms of...

I attended the recent Commencement exercise of Auburn University graduates, as it included my daughter. The Commencement Address was given by former pro athlete and an AU alumnus, Vincent "BO" Jackson. It was a touching moment when he had all of the graduates stand, look towards where their family might be sitting in the bleachers, and say "THANK YOU" to their moms. The graduation also happend to be on Mother's Day weekend.As for my daughter, I couldn't be more proud of this young woman's perseverence, fortitude and poetic heart of worldly compassion. As any parent knows that has attended a college graduation, it's a moving on for you, too, as you witness your child moving into yet a larger realm of challenges and opportunities. While her college diploma can hold a matter-of-factness, t...

PAWS on SATURDAY, MAY 16th, from 9:00 - noon, and visit the Lee County Humane Society's PUPPY ADOPTION EXTRAVAGANZA. This fun-filled event is a wonderful opportunity for puppies looking for people with a home to share. Many litters of puppies that are otherwise going to spend the summer months at the shelter, get to receive special attention on this day...and some lucky dog just might notice you and you will get that feeling of PUPPY LOVE.     The Humane Society plans to have kennels all set up outside, and will have adoption counseling sessions ongoing. If you have been thinking about adopting a dog, bring along these 3 documents: 1.  A copy of your current pet(s) vaccination records 2. A copy of your lease or proof that a pet will be allowed (if you are renting) 3.  A driver's license...
