photo friday: queens museum
After years of having it on my “NYC wish list”, Camille and I finally had the time to hike on out to Queens and visit the Queens Museum. I had been expecting the museum to be an old, dusty place, but we were pleasantly surprised by the modern, open, airy spaces and the diverseness of
learning: french
I’ve spent years now “learning French”. I’ve gone through the programs – Rosetta Stone, etc. But I still don’t feel like I can speak French! After my trip to France last fall, I stepped up my game. Stopped splitting my time between Mango and Duolingo and decided to focus on Duolingo. And, at last, I
atlanta: compiling a bucket list
Atlanta in one year. What do you do? What do you see? If all goes according to plan, Camille will leave for college in one year. While she’s lived in Atlanta for almost her whole life and we’ve found some favorite places, I know there are Atlanta institutions that she has missed. Last week, we
college search: always looking
Even though Camille didn’t join me on my trip to Memphis, I convinced my family yo take the time the time to visit Rhodes College. On paper, the school fulfills many of Camille’s requirements – “real” college campus in a city, liberal arts. Plus, it has a good reputation for merit scholarships. I fear it

Today is National Creamsicle Day. Up early to take care of things, clean, and work. I went down my list, one by one. Rob, the girls, and I went out in the early afternoon to get ice cream at 8 Fahrenheit. We stopped at the comic book store and guitar store while we were out.

After years of trying, I finally made it “all the way” out to Queens.

Today is Left-Handersโ Day. Up early to take care of things and clean. Rob drove me to GTRI on his way to kayak. I spent the day learning more about Jupiter and notebooks. Rob picked me up on his way back home. He took the Chloe and Anna to the thrift store and dropped them
more photography.
As I mentioned in create: an update on 2016, I took a bit of a break from photography after spring break. When the girls went back-to-school, I picked up my camera once again. While my photos have been better these past two weeks than over the past couple of months, I’m struggling to find things

Today is Julienne Fries Day and International Youth Day and World Elephant Day and National Middle Child Day. Up early to take care of things around the house. After everyone left for the day, I read for a little bit, then left for the eye doctor. My pressures were high, but I refused to do
photo friday: brooklyn apartment
When Camille and I made a quick decision to head to NYC in June to see “Hadestown”, I began to search for a place to stay. The previous VRBO we stayed in was not available (I texted the owner directly …), so I looked for another in Brooklyn. Only a couple fit my intersection of

Today is National Raspberry Tart Day. Again up early to get things done and work and walk the dog. Mid-morning, I met Lori for lunch at Green Ginger; we stayed for a long time, then I did a couple of things at home before it was time to leave to get Chloe from school to
growing and changing.
A while back, I read an article about hiring a career coach. While I’m not in the market for a new career at the moment, the day may come that I need some help, and I’d like to be ready when it does. The article, a bit short on useful information, wasn’t what really stuck

Today is National Sโmores Day and Spoil Your Dog Day and Snoopyโs Birthday. Up at 5am to get to work. After the family left, I cleaned up around the house and went to the gym and grocery store. I prepped dinner and took care of various projects, then left for my guitar lesson. I hadn’t
plate joy.
I’ve been here before. I continue to search for the answer. Meal planning. I have a feeling that one day I will find the solution. We’ve gone through e-Mealz. Far too much processed food for us. I’ve tried Hello Fresh. Ingredients to my door – but I still had to make daily trips to the

Today is National Rice Pudding Day and Book Lovers Day. Up at 5 to get to work. Phenix begged for a walk at 6:15. Once the family left, I cleaned the house, worked some more, and then left for the Red Cross. On they way back home, I stopped at the library and the grocery
college search: local schools
Back in February, Camille and I took a trip up to North and South Carolina to tour four colleges. When we returned to Decatur, we took one more official tour over the break. Though Agnes Scott College is a little too close to home (5 blocks away and across the street from Camille’s high school),

Today is National Lighthouse Day and National Raspberries in Cream Day. I got up early to take care of all the chores and projects. We finally left by 10, but got to the High too early (doesn’t open until noon). We enjoyed the plaza, then drove to Dr. Bombay’s. All of the tables were reserved,
