Since arriving in Auburn about one week ago we have been enjoying our visit with Jessica, Nolan and Jackie. Jessica and Nolan are busy people; Nolan is a full time student, while Jessica is a full time professor.
Jackie is a dog who loves going for walks, checking the kitchen floor for crumbs and lots of attention. We have enjoyed our daily walks with her and although she likes to bark at other dogs it seems to be a "let's play" request rather than anything malicious. Jackie responds to a few commands including sit, down, stay, and what does a good girl do? (lie down and roll over). The power of a small dog biscuit is amazing.
Auburn is a true university town. The school colors of orange and navy blue are everywhere: buses, stores, restaurants, cars, and particularly on people. The Auburn campus is very pretty, particularly at this time of year when so much is in bloom.
University sports are very much a part of life in this town. We had hoped to go to a ball game but both teams are playing out of town. We did attend a track meet where we saw the 100, 200, and 400 meters. We also saw some pole vaulting and high jumping. The event was an invitational and so we saw some great athletes from all over the US.
We played golf at Indian Pines, went to a movie and had dinner with some of Jessica and Nolan's friends. One of the best pars of this visit was visiting the site where Jessica and Nolan are building a house.
