For Christmas this year the littles each received four gifts: do, read, want, need. For John’s “do” gift, he received tickets to Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park. Each winter, the park transforms the laser lawn into a winter wonderland, resplendent with *real* snow ripe for tubing and playing! We had a scream on the… Read More
We surprised the littles today with tickets to Disney’s Phineas and Feb Live.

The… Read More

For lunch, Cookie and I reveled in a fantastic, lake side picnic at historic Piedmont Park with the so-Southern and always entertaining Buncolator ladies, Lindsay and Catherine. We spread out our blankets,… Read More
