Yeah, I’m a Decaturite now.
Me, a Decaturite? I have a hard time admitting it, and I surely never thought I’d see the day. But today I voted in Decatur for the first time. And I also saw this plate on my car for the first time — a Subaru with a Decatur front plate — how unique (not). I’m

It was a lovely day in Decatur today as the girls and I walked about taking care of errands.

I can’t believe that we haven’t been to Eddie’s Attic since we’ve moved to Decatur! Two blocks away and yet we haven’t been…. Ever since we discovered the world of “kindie”, we’ve loved Gustafer Yellowgold. So t is a no-brainer that when Morgan and Rachel will be in our neighborhood, we will not only be
Year of Living Locally: Day 4
Despite having three cars at our disposal, the girls and I have gone for three days without using a car. That’s a fair carbon offset for Rob’s flights to Hong Kong last Sunday, right? Right? While I know it is silly to think that my little experiment is going to save the planet, I know
a year of living locally
As we worked through the idea of our downsize move and talked about what it was that we hoped to gain from the move, one of the ideas that I was hoping to pursue was that of living locally. Now that we’ve settled in and we’ve started to try to “live local”, I’m questioning what
Decatur: Bonfire on the Square
Our first “Bonfire on the Square”! The weather was slightly uncooperative – 70 degrees is just not chilly enough to merit a need for added warmth. The kids didn’t mind getting in close to roast their marshmallows. Or, sometimes, set the marshmallows on fire and then swing their flaming torches. I was pleased to see
Decatur: Expressions on the Ave
Chloe has now been attending school for two months, and tonight she had to get up in front of a “multi-purpose” room full of parents and speak two lines. She was quite nervous about this little part, but she did just great! I’m not a huge fan of chaotic gatherings such as the one tonight;
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
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
I must be a Time Lord …
since I seem to have two hearts. (And two neighborhood email lists to moderate now …) We are *really* enjoying life here in Decatur. Chloe likes going to school, riding the bus, hanging with her friends. Camille likes being able to walk to Little Shop, the library, the park. I like how easy it is
Fairies in the Garden
After years of wanting to go, I finally made it to Oakhurst Community Garden this past Friday. The girls have been a couple of times, and it sounded like the kind of place I would just love. And I do love it. I just wish it were a whole lot closer, perhaps right in Pine
