Nineteen Trips

Nineteen Trips Around the Sun

Davis successfully came skidding around the sun one more time and reached his 19th birthday!  Happy birthday to a creative, sweet, funny, smart guy!  Lots of love to my little Doodlebug! We first met for dinner at LaParilla in Rome. Mikayla joined the frolic.  My attempts to chronicle the evening were met with this…. and […]

Gracious New Year's Resolution

New Year’s Resolution

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? I did not. However, today I received an email from a colleague and she is having her students do a one word resolution.  Sounded interesting to me.  There is a hashtag on Twitter where people are sharing their one word resolutions.  It is #myoneword.  The purpose is to […]

Walk of Doom

I want to share these photos of a walk I took the other day.  I have been cooped up inside decorating, undecorating, cooking, or shopping so I decided to get outside and enjoy our unseasonably warm weather.  I went to Lake Peachtree and took a walk around the lake. It is typically about an hour walk […]

I didn’t get a picture of our table setting although […]

Craft Day #4

Craft Day #4

I’m back.  I take a break but I always come back.  I miss my blog and my readers, so here I am.  You are probably wondering why I take breaks.  That’s a hard question to answer since I do enjoy it so much but it mostly is a time issue.  It takes me a long time […]

Happy Birthday Olivia

Happy Birthday Olivia

My sweet little Olivia turned 21.  I can hardly believe it. We went to one of her favorite restaurants for brunch yesterday.  She loves to go to Two Urban Licks in Atlanta.  This gigantically long table in the bar area also has a running water fountain down the middle of it.  Just one of the […]

Lunches, Pirates, and Cowboys

As I mentioned in my last post, this was my final week of summer vacation.  As teachers, we admittedly have a sweet deal in the summer with 8 weeks off (keep in mind we don’t have paid vacation, just weeks off so it probably isn’t all that “sweet” of a deal, however financial semantics aside, […]

While You Watch

While You Watch

My brother has skills.  Among his many talents, he can repair and make jewelry.  I went to his shop recently and took a few photos while he worked. He advertises while you watch jewelry repair so I took it literally and photographed him on the job. Hmmmm There’s something adolescently satisfying about seeing your brother caged. Ha Ha! Today […]
