The moon was beautiful once again this morning.

The moon this morning was gorgeous!!
daily photo: parking deck
As much as I despaired at looking at a parking deck for the rest of my life — inspiring my need to move to a west facing condo that doesn’t look right into a parking deck, this one makes for some interesting photos …
photography dreams
I’ve had a camera ever since I can remember. I’ve had some 110 cameras, a disc camera (does anyone remember those??), a number of 35mm cameras and then a whole range of digital cameras. My dad has always taken lots of great photos, and as a kid I developed a desire to take photos. Maybe…

The sunset storms give some beautiful skies!
volunteering: red cross
Years and years ago, back when I was in college, my parents did a very cool thing for me. They gave me a summer “on”. If I promised to work a volunteer job for the summer, they would help pay for my rent, car insurance and food. I only had to promise to work a…
daily photo: tired
After six hours of class today, I came home to a distraught dog, a headache and grey skies. Not much got done during the evening …

I love flowers…. I wish I could have them on the table everyday!
photo friday: arabia mountain
Even if I’m stuck here at home keeping the homefires stoked, I love when we can slip away for a few hours. And one of my go-to places is Arabia Mountain. The girls balk at hiking for the most part, but Arabia Mountain? They love it … As does the puppy-duppy. So last weekend, when…
daily photo: at the gym
Gabby Douglas came to Chloe’s gymnastics center — unfortunately, parents were not allowed in, so I was stuck taking photos of the tv monitor for the most part…
meeting gabby douglas
What a zoo it was at the gymnastics center when Chloe and I arrived. I dropped her off at the blocked driveway, then went to park the car much further down the street. By the time I got back, the gym was crowded with kids and parents awaiting the arrival of Gabby Douglas. Chloe had…

Camille and I played with some of the different features on my camera while we were at lunch at no 246 today.
quiet around here
With Rob off in Ohio and Chloe on her Tybee Island field trip, it has been fairly quiet around here. I’m slowly starting to feel that I’m going to be able to dig myself out of my hole, albeit slowly. The to-do list is shrinking faster than it is growing for a change, and I’ve…
daily photo: spring
I took a number of walks around town yesterday while running errands and attending events. So many signs of spring!
phelix files: temperament test
For Chloe’s spring break, we are headed out of town (travelin’, travelin’!). But Phelix the dog doesn’t get to join us, poor duppy. So what to do? We thought about a pet sitter, but he’s such a social dog that be awfully lonely staying home all by himself — except for Gazoo, who won’t give…
daily photo: sunset (again)
Stormy weather moved through in the late evening, leading to yet another interesting sunset here…
school: overnight field trip
Chloe’s on a field trip. Sure, she’s been on lots of field trips before with her school, but this is a three-day field trip to the beach! At 6am, she board a big old coach bus with her class and a few other fifth grade classes to head to the Burton 4-H Center on Tybee…
daily photo: sunset
I went out to do a couple of errands and then regretted it — we missed what must have been a gorgeous sunset!!
volunteering: georgia marathon
With our move to Decatur a year and a half ago, our travels have dropped off dramatically. For one, Chloe is now not only in school, which hugely curtails our adventures, but she’s also on the gymnastics team. In addition, finances are tight as we’ve been carrying two mortgages. Although I’m disappointed about not getting…
