Often, in my travels through the Internet, I see recipes on other people’s blogs that I want to try. I remembered one salad and found another, which I’d blogged about. It’s not all been salad that’s gotten my attention, don’t you worry. Ed tells me there was also a recipe for no-bake oatmeal chocolate peanut [...]
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve heard several people lament how early it’s getting dark these days. They’ve all said something along the lines of “I can’t wait for the first day of winter to get here, so it will start getting darker later.”
I had good news. In Atlanta, sunset starts getting later tomorrow, [...]
In November 2001, my friend Sarah and I visited a lady named Marlene Anderson. I visited her because she breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, the breed I’d fallen in love with after looking through a book on dog breeds. I’d never met a Cavalier, however, and Marlene graciously allowed us to come visit her. I [...]
Today, I met Jennifer McKinney, better known in the blog world as MckMama, and her family, including her youngest son Stellan. Some would (will) wonder why I and dozens of other folks would go out in 45 degree weather — and in 45 degree RAINY weather, no less — to meet people “from the Internet.” [...]
If you don’t know Anissa, she’s a blogger who lives in the Atlanta area. She had a massive stroke on Tuesday and then another stroke at some point thereafter. Since then, lots and lots and lots of folks who hang out in her corner of the Internet have been rallying around her in various ways. [...]
Earlier this spring, Ed and I went to a bridal shower where neither of us had ever met the bride. I didn’t think much of it a) because I knew the groom (it was a Jack and Jill shower) and b) because I’d had my gum surgery 8 days earlier, so I had bigger things [...]
On the way home from work today, I came thisclose to getting in an accident. I was heading into the shopping center where Curves is. A car leaving the shopping center got confused about how the parking lot works and was trying to turn left onto the main road using the lane for people turning [...]
I hate the shorter days of the fall and winter, but I love the beautiful sunsets I seem to capture this time of year, going no farther than our driveway.
The first Sunday in October, I saw in the Publix sales circular a buy one, get one free offer for Atlanta Braves’ tickets. It was the last day of the regular season, but I let it slide (no pun intended), because the circular had come out the previous Wednesday.
Then, I saw this in the Publix [...]
Today, we took a road trip to work with Fox’s trainer. (She’s helping us with the fear issues I mentioned last week.)
As we were waiting for the trainer to bring out the dog we’d be using to work with Fox, Ed and I had this conversation:
Me: Is the sun hitting me? I’m afraid I’ll burn.
Ed: [...]
