Stone Mountain Highland Games

Stone Mountain Highland Games

We just got back from the Stone Mountain Highland Games.  I particularly enjoy going to Highland Games because my high school was called the Headland Highlanders and we dressed in highland clothing and had bagpipes in our marching band.  Today, we enjoyed hearing bagpipers,saw athletic competitions, and wandered around the clan tents.  We arrived in time […]

Up-to-Date

A few more events and I’m up-to-date with my comings and goings.  After the Cotton Pickin’ Fair last Sunday, I had the pleasure of going to Davis’ fall choral concert.   Here is a teeny-tiny photo from my phone.  For a high school, they have a spectacularly large auditorium that is filled with very involved […]

Bunco for Charity

Bunco for Charity

I felt like such a society maven tonight as I attended my first charity Bunco Tournament.  It was with the school system and supported our after-school program.  I didn’t get to wear evening gowns and nibble on caviar and sip champagne, however I did get to eat chicken kebabs at a country club and shout […]

Brake Pad

Brake Pad

We went to an interesting restaurant today near the Atlanta airport called the Brake Pad. We first went on a 3.5 mile walk around my old neighborhood to burn off a few calories so we wouldn’t feel so guilty about our yummy dinner. The Brake Pad is considered American Pub Grub and it was a fun place […]

Homecoming

Homecoming

I can’t go to my high school homecoming anymore.  Headland High School was demolished. This is a 1962 photo but the building looked the same when I got there 12 years later except for the clothes, and except we really didn’t walk around in two’s as just about everyone in this photo is doing, and […]

Valhalla Dedication

Valhalla Dedication

I had the privilege of going to the Berry College dedication of their new stadium, Valhalla. You remember we visited there a couple of weeks ago and I showed some progress photos. It is now completed and Berry held their first football game in the stadium yesterday.  For me, the day started with the ribbon […]

Dragon Con 2016

Dragon Con 2016

Even though Dragon Con has been in Atlanta since 1987, I went to my first one last weekend. Both Davis and Olivia and friends went with me and I also met my friend Joanna to “help” out with their booth. And by help I mean watch Joanna sell ice to Eskimos.  She is the best! […]
