Camille and I walked up tpo the Woodlands Garden today to volunteer at their big event! We ran the kids’ art table, and my fingers turned blue from all the ink!
daily photo: sunset
I took today off. Why is it so hard for me to give my self guilt-free downtime? After a busy week, I need it. A time to read, reflect and relax. We did a little cleaning up, but other than that I tried to stay off-line and in a relaxed mode. And, other than the
daily photo: game night
In the past, our game nights have only had a couple people playing games and others doing lots of taking and hanging out. This time? Everyong including Phelix (but not me) was engaged in a game at one point. Hooray!
daily photo: dinner
The girls loved the special dinner I made tonight – grilled cheese and soup. Hmm. Maybe I need to just go with simple and easy from now on!
daily photo: jigsaw puzzle
We finished another jigsaw today — this time we were only missing one piece, down from four. We blame the dog for all of it.

After a concert at the (hot) library, what could be better than a stop at The Yogurt Tap??
daily photo: geometry
Mid-summer, but poor Camille is still toiling away at her Geometry homework. Hopefully she’ll finish it all up soon and have a bit of free time before school starts up on August 1st. August 1st!!
daily photo: monsters universtiy
One of the items on our Summer 2013 Passport List was to go to the new Monsters University movie. So exited were we, that we even bought Monsters Inc shirts to wear! To avoid the crowds, we went to the 10pm showing at North DeKalb Mall. We certainly avoided the crowds — there were only
daily photo: flowers
While exploring the grounds at the Funk Heritage Museum today, I enjoyed taking a number of different photos of these flowers using different angles and backgrounds and depth of field settings.

With out too much difficulty, we packed up the car and headed to Blue Ridge. The girls went to a waterfall with Phil and Barbara while Phelix stayed behind with Gwyneth who tried to work. With no internet, it wasn’t easy to work…but eventually it all got done!
daily photo: zesto
To celebrate “National Ice Cream Soda Day”, we headed out to Zesto in Little Five Points. Since we hadn’t had lunch, we decided to eat there as well. Chloe said the food was too greasy and that she could have done better eating some fresh vegetables instead.
daily photo: soft pretzels
Camille made these delicious pretzels today as part of our Summer Fun activities. They turned out great!

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.
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
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….
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
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

Lunch out at Hola with the girls!!

The girls made popsicles today — it is summer after all!

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
