instagram: gazoo
Gazoo came to us out of the blue. Since we didn’t know her actual birthday, we declared it to be July 4th, 2007. And, so, today is Gazoo’s fifth birthday. She misses being “jungle kitty” but has adapted to her “balcony-only” life as a condo-kitty….

Today was the Ribbon Cutting at Fire Station No. 1. The mayor used these giant scissors to cut the red ribbon hung across the front. I spent 4 hours helping setup and giving tours to all the visitors.
instagram: home again
After a long day of working, cleaning, packing, exploring Track Rock, buying peaches and driving, we made it back home.
instagram: fort mountain
At last, we made it to Fort Mountain! Knowing that the day was going to get hot, I insisted on an early start. What a nice view of the area around Chatsworth!
instagram: clean cabin
Thwarted from our planned adventure by a dead battery, we decided to ut our stranded time to good use and gave the cabin a good scrubbing and organizing.
instagram: cabin studies
We spent the day at the cabin working, reading, studying and trying to stay as cool as possible.
instagram: turkish rug
The girls and I headed to the cabin this afternoon. I always enjoy seeing the Turkish rug as it reminds me of our family trip to Turkey!
instagram: medieval times
Despite having lived in Atlanta for almost 14 years, I had never been to Discover Mills before! Rob, the girls and I had a great time at Medieval Times tonight — I’ll be writing a review of our experience soon.
instagram: life is tough
Gazoo had a difficult day, apparently. I’m not sure why … keeping her eye on the construction workers?
instagram: dippin’ dots
Even though I had a million things to do, I figured, summer is almost halfway over, we better take the opportunity to fit in as much fun as we can. So after dinner, we headed out to see “Brave”…
instagram: camping coffee
Despite all the pieces that it requires to make it, there’s nothing tastier than coffee made while camping!
instagram: hobbits or teletubbies?
I kept waiting for Tinky Winky and La-La to emerge from this earthen hill at Ocmulgee National Monument… But the girls thought (other than the square door) that hobbits might be living there….
instagram: specials
Decatur is becoming so littered with these signs that it makes it hard to walk down the sidewalk.
Instagram: original artwork
Here’s the original artwork by Rachael Sage that I won along with tickets for her concert at Eddie’s Attic.
instagram: stickeriti
Every time I go out I notice different stickers. Think maybe I should make my new project be documenting them.
instagram: charlie hope
Our friend Charlie Hope is on tour and stayed with us last night. This evening, she played a well-attended concert at the Decatur Library. Yeah, Charlie!!
instagram: sandy streets
We’re now just a few days past the Decatur Beach party and the streets remind me of my car after a trip to the beach…. Sand is stuck in all the nooks and crannies.
instagram: Gazoo and Abby
Get up for a second and when you get back, there’s the cat, sitting where you were just sitting. How does she know??
Instagram: Chloe’s Breakfast
Chloe got in in her head that she wanted to make pancakes. And she did. Rob helped her a little with getting the pan to the right heat, but Chloe got out the recipe, the ingredients, the tools. She measured and mixed. She flipped. And she designed the presentation, complete with hand-picked berries.
instagram: beach party
At the Decatur Beach Party, I was helping with getting people signed up for Smart 911. We were using brand new iPads for this. So brand-new that there were no crazy Photo Booth pics in the album. Thankfully, the girls remedied that problem right away.
