Last night at bible study there was another couple that came for dinner, Matt and Abbie and their little 18 month old, Josiah aka Jessie. They were teaching him to say 'ta' which I later found out is short for Thanks which we all know is short for Thank you. I think it is so funny that everyone here shortens everything and uses abbrevs more than anyone I know! I love it! One of the main grocery stores is called Woolworth's but everyone calls it Wooly's. Now that I am trying to think of more abbreviations I cant seem to remember any. Ill think of them later.
Yesterday I got a letter and a traveling Aubie from my sweet friend, Mollie! I took him to the class today and it is just a small cutout of Aubie and I was explaining to the kids about the traditions at Auburn and what a wonderful place it is. I was telling them that this was just a picture of Aubie but really he is tall and Danny says, "Oh you mean he is massive like you?" I looked at Connie and she busted out laughing and then I looked back at Danny and said, "Are you calling me massive?" The kids starting laughing and he was like "no Miss Boehme I just mean like an adult like you." ha it was pretty funny. They do use the word massive heaps more than we would. I taught them how to say "War Eagle Aubie!" and then they all started saying the main cheer here: "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, OY! OY! OY!" They really do say Oy! a lot especially the teachers to get the children's attention if we are outside or if they are mucking around too much.
Tomorrow is Friday and I don't quite know the plans for this weekend but I'm sure it will be fun whatever we decide to do! Hope all of you have a great weekend and if you want to Skye, please send me an email so we can work out a good time!

ReplyDeleteHey Kath! Sorry I have not been good at commenting lately! Have been tied up with remodeling upstairs, new tennis leagues started outdoors, and I had another eye issue...on my good eye! Had 2 tears on my retina so had to have laser surgery on it. Hope that's all.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting ready to go to Atlanta for the night. Carly is heading to AU for rodeo (war eagle!) Cody is going to UGA to see friends (again, war eagle!) and Mom and Tom and your dad are going to see Peter's spring game (lucky!)
Hope you have some more big adventures this weekend. Love the pics of you and the wild things! You are def on the downhill slide now. I can't believe how fast it has gone by (from my perspective!)
Love you!
Aunt Cyndie
P.S. Josh's patient is in the top 9 on american Idol and our guy Paul (from Auburn) is in it too! So exciting!
