snapshots from gooney road – 24 jan 2016
Today is National Peanut Butter Day and National Compliment Day and Belly Laugh Day. I woke up with my leg STILL hurting. Been too many days that it has hurt to walk. Rob took Chloe to church for choir. Then he, Camille, and I worked on making plans to go to the PNW for April
video: ice/snow melt
Still learning about time lapse. This one is a little TOO slow. Like watching a pot boil. This one is a bit faster, the snow is gone, but the sun does set! Yesterday was such a quiet day here. While I know how much our businesses depend on the traffic, I enjoyed the slowness of
video: snowstorm
I have much to learn about time lapse photography, but this was an interesting exercise for me to attempt! The Atlanta metro area is a mess. People are still stuck trying to get home after spending 7+ hours to go 20 miles.
eye on the sky: crazy clouds this evening
The clouds and wind came rolling into town tonight. I caught some of the show using my time lapse gadget …
school: expressions on the ave
The fifth grade at Chloe’s school has been hard at work on a “unit of inquiry” these past few weeks. While I’m not yet convinced that the IB program at her school is helping the kids to learn better as opposed to “having something to show”, Chloe was excited to have worked on the project
waterdog ?
Yesterday while we were hiking at Sweetwater Creek Park, we decided to test out how Phelix would respond to moving water. He had a blast rock scrambling and getting his little paws wet and begged for more…
chloe’s birthday video
I’ve never used the video feature on my Digital Rebel, despite having owned it for 20 months now. It has some shortcomings, but maybe with practice, I can learn to take a reasonable video with it …
live in concert: lunch money
Spur of the moment (sort of), we decided to take an overnight trip up to Chattanooga. We’ve been wanting to return for a couple years now and hearing that Lunch Money, our favorite kindie band from South Carolina, would be having a concert there made it seem like an ideal time to go. We’ve been
13 under 13 for 8 jul 2011
Mindy hosted the Sirius/XM Kids Place Live13 under 13 this week. (All week counts in here are approximate.) On its way down off the chart this week is “We Go Duck” from Justin Roberts. My girls, despite being too old for Duck, Duck Goose (or is that Duck, Duck, Grey Duck?), still love this song.
My Happy Place was A World of Happiness
After our ramble through Central Park last Friday, we stopped in Rockefeller Center for some lunch and window shopping before making our way to the 36th floor of the McGraw Hill building. Upon signing the visitor log, I could see that this was going to be an amazing afternoon. A page filled with the names
Barbara’s Birthday Missions
If you have tuned in to the Absolutely Mindy show on Sirius/XM Kids Place Live recently, you are likely to be quite familiar with the birthday missions that are loved by all her fans. She comes up with some doozies, sure to make your whole family laugh and remember the birthday for years to come.
Gazoo in Time Lapse
I was quite surprised a few months ago when I realized that my digital SLR did not have any built-in functionality for time lapse photography. I still don’t undertand why not, but I do now have a little time lapse gadget, thanks to Rob. Today, I decided to try it out for the first time.
Christmas!
I can hardly believe that 2010 is coming to a close .. and that Christmas has already been celebrated. But, alas, it has. Our lights and tree will stay up until the 6th, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m not at all ready to take down all of our holiday decorations! As is our family
Christmas in Pine Lake
Traditionally, the first Saturday in December is the big Holiday celebration day in Pine Lake. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, we loved being here in Pine Lake for all the fun. This year, we were again active participants in the holiday cheer! At the pancake breakfast in the morning, Chloe sat on Santa’s lap and
Light Up Blue Ridge
The finale of our Thanksgiving celebrations last weekend was “Light Up Blue Ridge”. Each year, the celebration has grown and grown. I suppose there is no surprise there. That’s what happens. My mom went down early to practice with the tubas. When the rest of us arrived, we had to park in the new auxiliary
One of THOSE Days
You know. My to-do list is finally under control. Between work, exercise, homeschool and everything else, I SHOULD have had more time for other things. But, instead, I managed to plant 10 mums and edit a little video. Sigh.

gbkZoo videocast
The girls and I have been talking about a new project for some time now (like I need another project), and yesterday we progressed on it. They love the idea of having a webshow (though technically a videocast since it isn’t live). We have posted the first episode, started a blog and, of course, created
