my journey, destination unknown
It has been a day of wild weather here in Georgia. At home in Pine Lake, the violent storms brought a tree down on a house on our street, trapping our neighbor inside; she was rescued by EMS and is recovering after surgery at a local hospital. It is unclear if the house can be…
Saturday night was the Pine Lake chili cook-off. As the president of the neighborhood association, it was my job to make sure that publicity and preparations were taken care of, plus the awarding of prizes. Overall, the event was a smashing success. The beach house was crowded, but not overly so. Lots of our neighbors…
On Saturday, we had celebrated the holiday of red hearts and sugar. The girls and I gathered lots of art supplies and invited lots of friends over to spend an afternoon of fun. We had cookie decorating, pin the heart on Cupid, valentines exchange and lots of running around having fun.
I’m fighting cabin fever. In my work mail today, I got a notice of an Air France deal that I almost snapped up. It would be less than $2K for the girls and I to fly to Paris for a week. I almost clicked “buy.” I know we would have a great time, even if…
All along, we were excited about having guests for dinner tonight, but we found a great website with Chinese New Year’s Crafts yesterday, and the girls decided they wanted to do them ALL. We headed to Hobby Lobby for pipe cleaners, tissue paper, felt and more, and ended up making lots and lots of crafts….
Not much time to write here as I’ve been concentrating on some other projects: reading Don Quioxte, learning to draw, studying French, coming up to speed on being the president of our village neighborhood association (including revamping the website), preparing for next year’s homeschooling, starting to knit and more…. All you seasoned knitters, please don’t…
It’s official. We’ve cashed in a whole lot of SkyMiles and are headed to Japan for 2.5 weeks in June. One week we will spend in Okinawa (see photo), then 1.5 weeks will be spent in Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. I’m looking into Japanese for travelers right now — I did minor in Japanese, but…

Yesterday afternoon, activities all over Atlanta for Saturday and Sunday were canceled. We woke up this morning to a clear, crisp, sunny day.
Both girls refused to wear winter coats. I did managed to convince Chloe to wear a hat and mittens. On our way up to the post office, her tights got soaked (no surprise, she refused to wear anything but her crocs.), but I had brought extra socks and leggings for her, so she changed in…
