Snow on the Square
It has been almost a month now since we had snow on the square… I’ve fallen quite far behind here, haven’t I? A few Tuesdays ago when I went to pick up Chloe from school (school gets out at 3:45 and gymnastics starts at 3:45 — great plan), the kids filed out to the hill
girlsies – 11 dec 2011
We had a great time hosting one of Chloe’s old homeschooilng friends today; the girls have missed getting to hang out together and had a blast.
PL progressive dinner – 10 dec 2011
This evening, we headed to Pine Lake for the annual Holiday Progressive Dinner. It was nice to catch up with old friends during the evening.
flowers – 9 dec 2011
A we walked through the courtyard today, Chloe lamented that these are probably the last of the flowers and insisted that I take a photo.
terrific thursday – 8 dec 2011
We headed out to Decatur’s Terrific Thursday to see some dancers on the square, but all we found were these color-changing lights.
thumbs up – 7 dec 2011
It was a rainy, cold, windy day in Decatur, so Camille and I didn’t wander too far from home for our weekly lunch out. We just went across the street for veggie burgers and fries.
pumpkins – 6 dec 2011
Camille and I walked over to her homeschool classes today; it was great to get out and walk even if it sprinkled a bit now and then as we walked.
Will I ever Get Accustomed to School Events?
Chloe has been busily preparing for her debut on the big stage next week. She has a couple of lines to recite as well as songs she’ll be singing in a group. I think she’s less nervous than I am. A few weeks back, we attended our first “school-wide” even at Chloe’s new school. She
home – 5 dec 2011
I received a FB message from a “concerned” friend-of-a-friend on FB (is there a term for this connection?) who visited this blog via my facebook profile pic (a QR code). She was worried that I might not realized that my “exact location” was visible from my blog, making it public, and that I might want
gingerbread house – 4 dec 2011
Each year, we put together a new gingerbread house. This year’s A-Frame is courtesy of Trader Joe’s. But the girls really want a Tardis. Seriously, how difficult could that be??
lighting of the lake – 3 dec 2011
Today was a very Pine lake day, starting out with Breakfast with Santa and ending with the cookie exchange and the lighting of the lake!
volunteer decatur – 2 dec 2011
After a morning of work and an afternoon of projects, I walked over to Clairemont Elementary to help set up for Chloe’s school “spiritwear” sale. I walked back home, changed, and then walked over to the house where I was assigned as a volunteer on the Tour of Homes.
decatur tree – 1 dec 2011
After Chloe got home from gymnastics, we had a quick dinner and then walked over to Little Shop for the lighting of the Decatur tree on top of the store. I couldn’t believe the crowds!!
This is a test, this is only a test ….
Except when it isn’t. I had finished work for the day. Camille had headed out to walk to the park to meet friends. I didn’t need to “transfer” Chloe from school to gymnastics for an hour. Blogging could wait. I was going to indulge in reading a bit and maybe even sneak in a cat
cemetery – 30 nov 2011
Chloe and I went out for a bike ride/walk, despite the chilly weather. While out, we looked at the Christmas tree, took a short turn around the cemetery and then stopped at Baby Kroger to pick up some ingredients for dinner.
tree – 29 nov 2011
Today we watched as the tree was stood up, decorated and then raised to the roof over at Little Shop of Stories. What a massive undertaking!
writer’s block
I have never, ever claimed to be a writer. Except that my *paying* job includes writer in the title… As a technical writer, I write, but my lack of creativity is outweighed by my ability to learn new tools and describe mathematical concepts. And, so , here I am, after weeks of simply posting daily
square – 28 nov 2011
Camille and I went out “walking errands” today — the library, the grocery store and the knitting store. The square is looking more and more festive every day!
back home – 27 nov 2011
And now we are back home once again. It will be a fun week around here with all the Decatur and Pine Lake events we have planned!!
tuba christmas – 26 nov 2011
We all headed into town for Light Up Blue Ridge and the Tuba Christmas this morning. Crowds were bigger than ever!
