I Was Born Yesterday

I Was Born Yesterday

While at the Cotton Pickin’ Fair last Saturday, I made a few purchases.  I will share one of them with you now.  At my house,  I have a problem with Carpenter Bees.  They love my screened porch as much as I do. In fact, they love it so much that they like to eat it. […]

We had a delightful time at the choral banquet for Davis last night.  The evening started with a potluck dinner for about 400 people. We met in the decorated cafeteria underneath the prowling panther. The decorating committee used school colors and lots of stars for Starr’s Mill. Davis! After the dinner we were treated to […]

Atlanta Botanical Gardens

We encountered lots of traffic on the way to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for field trip number 3 in four days.  I can only tell you about field trip number 4 in 4 days because we went to the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts the next day to see Beauty and the Beast and you cannot take […]
