daily photo: fog
The new year started out rainy and foggy and grey, not a great day for a hike or doing much outside other than taking the dog out.
resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my!
It is January 1st once again. And as generally happens at the start of the year, I am making resolutions, or reaffirming resolutions I’ve made in the past, whether I’ve been successful with them or not. My resolutions evolve occasionally and are part of my live fully life goals. This year, I decided to ask

The girls made this “snowman” with the snow, and this is all that is left of it …. Bye-bye snow.
Photo-A-Day 2012
I have just now posted my final photo-a-day for 2012. This past year, I posted my daily photos to 365 Project, to Picasa and to facebook…. In my 2008 daily album on picasa, I posted 202 photos. In my 2009 daily album on picasa, I posted 227 photos. In my 2010 daily album on picasa,

Today we opened Christmas gifts at the cabin. My sister gave Chloe this really pretty (and fun!) wooden Sudoku game!
phelix files: week 4
At the start of the week, Phelix decided to poop right in the middle of the biggest intersection in town (Church and Commerce) just before the light was about to change. I did not pooper-scoop, sorry. A minute later, the poop had all but disappeared. Phelix had a great time shredding wrapping paper on Christmas!!

Phelix and I went out for a walk at 7am. We are in the trees and down get a sweeping view, the sky was just lovely to watch nonetheless!

I finally feel like I started my holiday break today, a week after it officially started. I spent the day getting completely caught up on a number of projects and then we did a craft project!! Ours didn’t come out as nicely as the one in this tutorial, but it did turn out pretty nice!
Hometown Saturday: Manhole Covers
Welcome to Hometown Saturday! Each week, share your photos of your favorite hometown, whether it be a town where you used to live, you live now or you just dream about living in one day …. This week, my photo is from our current hometown, Decatur, GA. On Christmas, we headed out for a walk

The new patio at the Victory Sandwich Shop is coming along. Hope they’ll be opening soon!

I hear there was a lovely sunrise, but I managed to miss it despite having been out before sunrise. Bummer. Around noon, we walked down to Greene’s to use up some Christmas gift cards and to pick up our free growler bottle. I had it filled with an oatmeal stout, and then carried the heavy
photo friday: sweetwater creek state park
A few weeks ago, we took our new puppy, Phelix, out to Sweetwater Creek State Park. Despite having lived in Atlanta for over a decade now, I had never been to visit this lovely place! We took a nice hike on a loop that wanders along the creek and then up onto the hill. Hiking

Phelix just loves the basketball that his daddy rescued from the river. Just like Phelix — tossed out but still awesome.

After the dumpster deliveries woke us around 5:30am and went on for twenty minutes, PhelixTheDog decided that 6am was late enough, so we were out on the streets of downtown Decatur early this morning. A few other people were out, some already arriving at work. We also saw a Decatur Police Car drive by, which
What 7am on a “vacation” day is like.
I very prudently saved up my limited vacation days in order to be able to take a week off at Thanksgiving and another at Christmas. At the end of the Thanksgiving week, I felt I had in some ways “wasted” my time off. I promised not to do the same with my Christmas break, but

This morning the clouds rolled in as Phelix and I took our first morning walk. What a strange morning sky!

It was a wild night in Decatur in many ways… Thunder and lightning, driving rain, and some big police activity requiring the judge to come in on a rainy Christmas night to sign a search warrant. Downtown was a bit busier on our “early” (Phelix let me sleep in!) morning walk. People heading to work,

Chloe is excited to have a phone of her very own !! We decided that with our not having a home phone, her walking the dog, going to gymnastics and next year’s walking to and from school, it is time for her to finally have a phone of her own.
merry christmas!
Mostly, this Christmas Day was another day for me. Not much celebrating or enjoying, but another day to clean and take care of everyone else… Phelix and I got up around 7 and went for a leisurely stroll around downtown Decatur. When we returned, Chloe was awake and desperately trying to get Rob up. I

A morning walk before the girls got up to open gifts. I was surprised by how many folks were out and about so early on Christmas morning. Another dog walk at noon, and we saw many more people out; Starbucks was even open. Phelix found himself a new toy on the square — a binky!
