Camille made these delicious pretzels today as part of our Summer Fun activities. They turned out great!
live fully: Living the Good Long Life
I’m feeling quite old this week. A look at the books on my nightstand has me feeling as though perhaps it is time for me to acknowledge that I am no longer young and that I need to take a serious look at what I really want to be doing and what I need to
daily photo: fossils at tellus
At last, we made it! After years of thinking about going, we finally got out to the Tellus Science Museum! Barbara drove over the mountain to meet us there, and we all enjoyed a few hours exploring the museum.
Georgia: Civil War and Reconstruction (1840-1917)
Antebellum: Antebellum Plantation at Stone Mountain The Antebellum Plantation at Stone Mountain Park is a collection of original buildings from around the State of Georgia, built between 1783 and 1875.

daily photo: phelix
If I leave any laundry about, clean or dirty, Phelix is sure to find it. He prefers socks, bras, underwear and dishrags, no surprise. We’re trying to teach him to leave our shoes alone, and he’s learning, but not quickly enough. This weekend I found one of Rob’s sneakers on the bed with the lace
learning: cartography
Google Maps is rolling out new mapping applications. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. I’m a huge fan of maps. I loe when I can spend hours examining maps. I love seeing the evolution of maps of an area. I love trying to match up features of maps. I love
daily photo: moon
Being woken by the dog (or cat) in the middle of the night is supremely annoying. Especially when it happens night after night … but this time, I was happy to woken up as I got to see this lovely moon….
summer passport 2013: week 4
This week, we completed only *five* more of our summer passport activities. So now, if we were doing a daily tally, I think we are behind by three activities. Still do-able. Plus, we’ve edited the list a bit to add in some things that we really want to do, replacing things that maybe weren’t so
daily photo: leaves
Other than taking the dog out on a few short walks and to get some Gatorade (the only thing that seems to help my sinus headaches for some strange reason), I haven’t left the condo today. Thankfully, the Gatorade seems to be doing its trick. I should have tried it earlier! Today is “Nature Photography
headache, headache
Rob and the girls are off in Florida this weekend. I made list after list of things that I was planning to get done : work, cleaning, organizing, reading blogging. Phelix got me up at 7am, so I was sure I’d have a good start. After taking him for a nice walk and having a
daily photo: sunset
The afternoons and early evenings in a west facing apartment can get quite hot, so we tend to close the blinds. Unfortunately, if I forget to open the blinds back up again, I end up missing the sunset as well. Thankfully, tonight I managed to open up in time to see pink, blue and more
photo friday: renfest
A bit over a month ago, the girls and I headed down to the Georgia Renaissance Festival as we’ve bee doing for years now. As we’ve learned from experience, it helps to arrive early to beat the line for parking. The weather was good and the girls had fun — however Chloe didn’t have quite

Lunch out at Hola with the girls!!

The girls made popsicles today — it is summer after all!
volunteering: red cross – Step 1
A few months ago, I wrote about how I’ve longed to become a Red Cross volunteer for decades (decades?!?). A couple weeks ago, while I was working as a public safety (Decatur Police and Fire CAPS) volunteer at the Arts Festival, I was introduced to a Red Cross volunteer, and I begged for an introduction.
daily photo: lucy and camille
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a good photo of Lucy before — I’m so happy she and Camille have become good friends! It is always a joy to have Lucy along for the ride ๐
daily photo: scavenger hunt
We finally finished up with our Decatur scavenger hunt this evening — what fun!!
Happiness Project: Weekly Practice: Item 4
I thought I had Item 3 from 22 Things Happy People Do Differently in the bag. It’s what I preach. And though I often practice it, when I get too stressed, I feel defeated by every “challenge”. I think I need to review these items each and every day to remind myself! This week, the
