Judd and I have two Auburn vs. South Carolina tickets for sale. The game is this weekend, Sept. 25th, in Auburn. It starts at 6:45pm CST. If you are interested just leave us a comment that includes a way to get in touch with you.
If you’re heading down to the loveliest village on the plains this weekend for the Auburn v. Clemson game, don’t forget to wear navy. We are an Auburn family and we are ALL IN!!!!! Check out this link to see what Coach Chizik discussed with our students last night.

For those of you who read The Lettered Cottage (like I do) then you already know that Layla from TLC hosted a joint yard sale last weekend with Rhoda from Southern Hospitality. The sale was in Birmingham, AL at Rhoda’s house. Layla and her husband, Kevin, drove up from Montgomery, AL with a load full of yard sale stuffs. When I say load, I mean…
L-O-A-D.
Since we live nearby, Judd and I decided to check things out. We are not the early-bird-yard-sale types. Apparently, some folks arrived at Rhoda’s house really early. The sale was advertised to start at 8am. Yikes.
We decided we needed sustenance first. We had an early morning breakfast date from Chick-fil-a and then headed down highway 280 towards Rhoda’s. I made this video while in Judd’s truck on the way to the sale. Yes, we took Judd’s truck actually thinking we might have a chance to buy something. And yes, this is a terrible video. Note to self, don’t even think about making a video of yourself speaking when you have a cold that makes you sound like Fran Drescher. Epic blogger fail. I thought y’all might get a kick out of it. So, at my own expense, here it is.
Did that make milk come out of your nose or what??? Ha.
Anyways, we arrived at Rhoda’s around 8:10 to find a crowd full of people assembled and waiting for Layla. You see, Layla wasn’t there yet and being the blog star that she is, everybody was sticking around to see her and peruse her items for sale. Judd and I didn’t mind waiting because we ran into a friend of mine from high school. We chatted with him and his wife while waiting for Layla.
After we stood around for a short while, Layla and Kevin arrived.
When they drove up, Judd and I were at the top of the drive way. Before we knew it, the crowd below us swarmed the trailer. We didn’t stand a chance. I just couldn’t muster up the courage to fight the crowd. People were literally buying the items as Layla and Kevin unloaded them. If you look closely you’ll see us at the very top of the driveway. Judd and I are both wearing white shirts. Note: I didn’t have my camera so these photos are Rhoda’s. She was nice enough to allow me to use them. Thanks Rhoda. :)
We made our way down the driveway and watched in amazement from the back of the line.
I couldn’t even see the items until they were in the hands of their new owners. I saw faux-liage, benches, and chairs passing before me left and right.
Judd talked football with another husband. They were being such good sports. Kevin was too for that matter. I, however, kept my eyes on the trailer in sheer awe of what was happening. I look scared don’t I???
I enjoyed going. It was a treat to get to see Layla and Kevin. I must emphasize the “see” part. At this point, I felt like I was wasting our time. I knew we wouldn’t be able to get close enough to purchase anything. We decided to leave before I ever actually got to meet them. Maybe we’ll run into them another time. I know I’ve seen some Auburn attire on their blog before. Perhaps we’ll finally get to meet them sometime down on the plains. :)
Overall, we decided the morning was a success. It got us up early, allowed us to have an adventure together, and hey, at least we got a chicken biscuit out of it. :)
What did you do over the weekend? We had another adventure the night before the yard sale. I’ll share that one with you soon. Spoiler alert, it involved Melissa Joan Hart’s husband.
It’s about time we got a new one of these for tailgating. The bad boy below was shipped to us last week. Now we just have to load it in Judd’s truck and take it down to the plains. If you’re new around here you may not have seen some of our older posts about Auburn University football tailgates. You can view them here or here if you wish.
We love our tigers and our tailgating. Judd’s parents bought the house we rented when in graduate school. It is now used as a tailgate home. We’ve really enjoyed our time there with friends and family. We are REALLY looking forward to that again this year. I hope this new tent exceeds our expectations. We plan to put it in our usual tailgate spot, the back yard. The house is across the street from campus so the yard is usually a pretty happening place on game days.
Our old tent, seen below, was purchased when Judd was just starting his undergraduate experience at Auburn about 10 years ago. It had a good run but just couldn’t withstand another season.
In addition to spending time in our new tent, there are a few other things I can’t wait to do. I look forward to spending time with this guy doing something he loves so much. To say he likes football, especially Auburn football, is an understatement.
I look forward to spending time with these folks too. I also can’t wait to the devour the yummy dishes we serve at tailgates.
And who says football is just for men? Us women can get pretty into it too. Not only do I love the game itself, but I love the party planning, fellowship, and outfit coordinating parts of it all too. Speaking of, I decided the tent couldn’t be the only new thing we get for football season this year. I bought this dress thinking it would be cute for the first tailgate. I can’t wait to wear it on Saturday.
Are you going to partake in any college football this weekend?
