Girl’s Night at The Shed

Date June 29, 2008

A few friends celebrated Lea’s birthday (she is over 30-that is all I will say) at The Shed , a new restaurant in Glenwood Park. We walked in to what is a very nice fresh, simple dining area and bar. The two t.v.’s over the bar were a bit large for the place […]

Great Pups in Need of Home

Date June 19, 2008

I tend to find stray pups often and then go through the process of having to find them a home. The newest two I have found were wandering the streets together and had no tags, were timid, dirty, never seen the inside of a home, and looked like they needed help.
I have taken them […]

Village Vets of Decatur in a New Location

Date June 16, 2008

Brutus, Little Girl, Fred Cat and Bella Cat have spent almost as much time at The Village Vets as they do at home. They seem to gravitate towards the vets to see Dr. Stacy or Dr. Villines (the two we see most often) when they have stomach problems, gashes in their butts, or after […]

Hosea Williams is known in Atlanta and around the world as a famous civil rights leader who was unfortunately arrested some 125 times for things like drinking at “whites only” water fountains or sitting in the front of a bus. Today his picture is stamped on a the back of Atlanta Marta bus. […]

Get Fit and Then Get a Date

Date May 27, 2008

Alison and I went out Saturday (we’ll write about that too, I promise) but I took these two photos while driving to and from our outing.  In one evening, we found where to get fit and where to call if we we were alone and tired of it. Enjoy.

Looking for a New Mexican Restaurant?

Date May 23, 2008

Well, if you are, then get ready for this one. Opening the first week of June by Kristen and Michael Benoit of The Vortex Bar and Grill fame, this Mexican restaurant is going to kick some butt. Touted as an authentic Mexican eatery, the Bone Garden Cantina is inside the Lumber Yard Complex […]

Bigleaf Magnolia In Cabbagetown!

Date May 21, 2008

My friend, Arty Schronce, is a plant enthusiast and one I admire greatly because he knows so darn much about native plants and flowers. He works for the Georgia Department of Agriculture and is a great guy. He and a group of other plant folks rescued a bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) from […]

I Ain’t Afraid of No Dog

Date May 16, 2008

Fred Cat, my fearless cat, is certainly the “Alpha Dog” of my house. I thought this picture was appropriate.

I am Just Ranting…

Date May 15, 2008

I am not sure what to say about the fact that now law abiding gun carriers can bring a gun into restaurants that serve alcohol and public parks in Georgia.  I must say, I think this is a bad idea and can’t believe many good outcomes can from this new law.  First, those with a […]

Now, Congratulations To Atlanta!

Date May 14, 2008

Ah, to live in the rudest city when it comes to making naughty gestures in traffic. That’s right, folks, we give more people the bird and cuss more at others when driving than any other city in the U.S. We also got the distinction from AutoVantage as the sixth least courteous city […]
