Photo Friday: Over the River and Through the Woods
As we’ve done for the past 10+ years, we headed up to Blue Ridge, Georgia, to my parents’ cabin for Thanksgiving. I do love getting out to the woods and taking long walks along the (sort of) country lanes down to and along the river. Camille came with me on many of my walks, and
Christmas in Pine Lake
Traditionally, the first Saturday in December is the big Holiday celebration day in Pine Lake. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, we loved being here in Pine Lake for all the fun. This year, we were again active participants in the holiday cheer! At the pancake breakfast in the morning, Chloe sat on Santa’s lap and
Light Up Blue Ridge
The finale of our Thanksgiving celebrations last weekend was “Light Up Blue Ridge”. Each year, the celebration has grown and grown. I suppose there is no surprise there. That’s what happens. My mom went down early to practice with the tubas. When the rest of us arrived, we had to park in the new auxiliary
Photo Friday: Cameron Park Zoo
Since Camille got her pick of a fiber festival on the Saturday of our final weekend in Texas, we decided to give Chloe her pick on Sunday — the zoo! But which zoo? Chloe wanted Houston (too far), we had been south on I-35 twice already (ruling out San Antonio), so that left us to
Photo Friday: Boerne, TX
While we were in TX for two weeks at the start of the month, I promised the girls that we would do some day trips beyond Georgetown/Austin. The first weekend, we headed to San Antonio. For the second weekend, we did not take off an overnight trip, but we did explore two places new to
Impermanently permanent
While walking along our dirt road here in Blue Ridge, I spotted a vibrantly orange leaf. Seemed TOO orange. Unnaturally so. Because it was. Unnatural. The leaf itself was natural. But the color was not. Someone had come along the road and spray painted not-so-evenly spaced dots marking an underground cable. The thing is, they

While we are in Texas for an extended stay, I figured I’d try to get the girls out to see more than just Zilker Park and Georgetown…. This past weekend, we headed down I-35 to San Antonio. I was shocked at how little I recognized along the Austin-SA corridor — so much has changed! Upon
Photo Friday: Fun Fall Traditions
Each fall, my mom, the girls and I have a tradition of spending a few days up at the cabin in Blue Ridge, GA, and participating in “fall fun” activities such as corn mazes and pumpkin farms. Last weekend, my mom, the girls and I spent a couple of days in Blue Ridge, and after
Photo Friday: Stuck in the Mud
Our anual tradition of heading to the cabin on Columbus Day weekend with my mom for visiting a corn maze was disrupted this year by our trip to Texas for Austin City Limits. Luckily, we were able to fit it in this weekend instead. I had been planning to make my Photo Friday post about
One of THOSE Days
You know. My to-do list is finally under control. Between work, exercise, homeschool and everything else, I SHOULD have had more time for other things. But, instead, I managed to plant 10 mums and edit a little video. Sigh.
Photo Friday: LEAF
We returned from our trip to Texas on a week ago Wednesday evening and spent a day of absolute craziness on Thursday (work, 4+ hours of homeschool classes, grocery shopping, library, gymnastics, unpacking, laundry, packing). Friday morning, as early as we could, we headed out with a fully packed car to Black Mountain, NC, for
Photo Friday: Austin City Limits
It’s hard for me to believe it has already been a week since the first day of our three-days at Austin City Limits. In the four days since, we’ve driven back to Atlanta, unpacked and packed for today’s adventure. But, while we were there, we had a great time. Great music, friends, food, and fun!
Photo Friday: Burgundy
Photo taken on 11 Oct 2010 in Georgetown, TX. A little red wine on the deck. Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the other entries), and the
Photo Friday: Gone To Texas
On Tuesday afternoon after a morning of work and packing, the girls and I jumped in the car for our annual pilgrimage to Texas. I love the drive across Texas from Louisiana to I-35 via Tyler and Corsicana. There’s no interstate there, so we drive a four (and sometimes two) lane road though dusty Texas

Photo taken on 7 Oct 2010 in Georgetown, TX. I love all the flowers that are in my parents’ yard!! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the
Photo Friday: Destination Family
Last weekend, the four of us flew up to Massachusetts to visit with the girls’ cousins for a few days. It has been so long since the girls have gotten to see their cousins, I was a little worried. Chloe and her cousin C. are only a few months apart. What if they just didn’t
Photo Friday: Seusville
Last week, the girls and I drove down to Orlando with friends to spend two days at Universal Orlando’s Theme Parks. Our main goal was to visit “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”, but, much to my surprise, the girls all loved Seusville almost as much! Wacky, wild and surreal…the rides, the landscaping, the playground

Photo Friday: Streets of Hogsmeade
Earlier this week, the girls and I drove down to Orlando with friends to spend two days at Universal Orlando’s Theme Parks. Our main goal was to visit Hogsmeade and Hogwarts and have a taste of frozen butterbeer in the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter”! We had a wonderful time … short lines, no rain,
Photo Friday: Colors of California
Labor Day weekend, I took my first non-work, kid-free trip (other than an overnight getaway here and there) in over a decade. While it was easier to not have to be in charge and not have to make sure we had all the necessary supplies, I did miss sharing the trip with the girls. This
