It was a lovely day on The Plains. After a day of working from home, Dan and I walked uptown to witness the final rolling of the Toomers Oaks. We made our way through the crowds... 83,000 people packed into downtown. It was cool, crisp, blue skied, nice breeze, and it was a happy family atmosphere. You could just sense the "Auburn Family" spirit in the air.

Dan was determined to throw a roll over this tree and after a few tries he made it. The trees will be cut down on Tuesday after two years of trying to save them after the poisoning that took place after Auburn won the National Championship in January 2010.

The moon was in the sky. People were up on the roofs. It was a good time. A band stand was set up in the intersection of College and Magnolia and Kidd Blue played. They played at my sister's wedding. Aubie was there, lots of good cheer.

We ate a steamed sandwich at Momma Goldberg's on the walk home.

We joined my aunts and mom for dinner at 8pm.

It was a good day.
