Vintage Christmas

I found this gem at an estate sale a few months ago. Put it up to snap some pictures and prep it for selling. It does look pretty cool in my dining room though...

Oh What a Night...

Last night my mom and I enjoyed an evening out in downtown Atlanta to see the amazing Frankie Valli. Even at his age, the show was GREAT! He is such a performer.

We started with dinner at our favorite - Baraonda. Delish food and lovely atmosphere on the patio (under the heaters of course).

The show hit all of the hits - "Hang On", "Walk like a Man", & my favorite "Bye Bye Baby". So fun!


Lamb for dinner? YES!

If I could live anywhere...

Today’s #NaBloPoMo prompt is “If you could live anywhere, where would it be?”

Two words: Tybee Island. (Can this post be done? No, I kid.) 

Ever since I was a kid, our yearly family vacations have been to Tybee Island, just off the Georgia coast and ever since I was a kid I wanted to go and stay… forever.  I swear my soul is rejuvenated every time I roll my windows down as we cross the bridge onto Tybee, surrounded by the marsh and the salty scent of God’s beautiful creation.  (Sitting here in Atlanta on this cool November morning is not helping at the moment…)  I love spending evenings on the patio at Stingray’s, shopping at the IGA and spending every moment in the beach-humid air. 

Oh Tybee… only 7 more months until you welcome me again. :)

NaBloPoMo a.k.a Happy November Y'all

Happy November y’all!  It is such a great month – Thanksgiving, Christmas prep, “No Shave November”, “Movember”, college football gets even better, cooler temperatures grace our doors, the leaves fall and apples are a top priority on the grocery list.  November is also fabulous because it is National Blog Posting Month.  Let us celebrate by writing each weekday.  Sure, I should attempt an every-day-of-November blog posting routine, but let’s be honest… that isn’t going to happen around here.  I’m a working mom who works three different gigs.  Do you really think I’ll have time to post every single day?  (Ok, I’m making lame excuses again.)

Over at BlogHer they have amazing prompts for each day of the month.  To help get my creative writing juices flowing once again, I’m going to jump on board with them and write using their prompts.  Today’s prompt is “Tell us your favorite quotation and why.”

Awesome.  First prompt and my answer is, “don’t really have one”.  Terrible, I know.  I just do not find inspiration in infamous quotes, but do find motivation and strength in every word I read from my Bible.  Here is a little something for today "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34).  I promise I will not preach around here, but it is where I find my “umph” y'all.

Here’s hoping that the rest of the month is a little more productive than today’s right?  LOL
