Tonight was slideshow night. This awesome pic is of my maternal grandparent in mymom’s car, the “jolly green puddle jumper”, in California.

This longhorn, sculpted from guns, tools and other “junk”, stands guard at the public library.
Georgia: Track Rock Gap
While in Blue Ridge a couple weeks ago, the girls and I visited a couple places from our list of field trips regarding native cultures in Georgia. We first (with Rob..) went to Fort Mountain State Park to see the ancient wall there. The next day, the girls and I headed out east of Blairsville

Now that more light is coming into the condo with the removal of the scaffolding on the adjacent exterior wall, I’m more than ever ready to get some color onto the walls. I’ve been getting all sorts of ideas from Fab.com and from Pinterest, and I’m finally starting to pull them altogether. Now, do we
scenes from the road: GTT (Gone to Texas)
While I had planned an early morning departure, we didn’t leave the condo until 5:30am. And then we had to make a library run — Decatur is awfully deserted at that time of day on a Sunday! We drove by two police cars and an ambulance facing the wrong direction on DeKalb Ave; I hate

When we reached Georgetown after a harrowing drive, we were greeted by a lovely double rainbow in the sky !!
braves game: what game?
As a fundraiser, Chloe’s gymnastics team sold $10 general admission tickets to the Braves vs. Mets game last Saturday. While it complicated our travel plans, I thought it would be a good way for Chloe to get the chance to feel more a part of the team if she went and “did a lap” around

I had no idea that the view from Turner Field was SOO spectacular!!
Georgia: Fort Mountain Wall
The girls and I headed up to Blue Ridge a couple of weeks ago to spend a little time at the cabin. While there we decided to take the time to visit a few of the places from our list of native cultures in Georgia. After a series of false starts and a little comedy
instagram: blue ridge green
A couple weeks ago, the girls and I spent the weekend cleaning up at the cabin. We did get out for a couple field trips, but I never really got to sit and enjoy the cleaned up space. I came up for one night to relax, enjoy the quiet and make sure everything was put
photo friday: the high line
In my huge “notes” document, I keep a list of things I want to see, organized by city. Whenever I come across something interesting, I jot it down. NYC’s High Line had been added to the list about 4 times in the past couple of years, so I knew it had to be the top
instagram: new balcony
Today the scaffolding crawled up our side of the building and went right up past our windows. Now the construction workers can stand right outside my windows — and Gazoo can’t go out at all, poor kitty.

More stickeriti found in Decatur.
perfection, ignored
Despite my resolution to write whatever is on my mind, I can’t seem to get past my “perfection” issues. I know, what I have written in this blog isn’t perfect and, truly, not even great. But every post takes a whole lot of my energy from the conception to the writing to the decision to
instagram: freestyle
After a busy day at work, taking care of an on-again, off-again sick girl (more to come on that), I just had no dinner plans. Camille had a friend over and was more into catching up with her than cooking (that’s good). So we headed out across the street to TacoMac…

Our seventeenth wedding anniversary was yesterday…
spoiled rotten
My thoughts after reading Why Are American Kids So Spoiled? from the New Yorker: I harbor few illusions. My kids are spoiled. By some miscommunication, Chloe opened her “family” birthday gifts in front of her friends and a couple of the moms. While we are by no means “well-off” compared to the families of her
instagram: happy plants
Having brought the pots in from outside, I could see how terrible they looked. Only the rosemary survived the winter; the other plants were “volunteers” from bird seed and had mostly already wilted away from the heat. Chloe and I stopped by Ace and picked up a number of nice looking herbs. The bench now
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 …

Chloe was a very, very tired birthday girl on her big day. But that didn’t stop her from getting out and using her gift card!
