The Kids Ornaments

Ready to open as soon as we put up the tree!

 

Herstory Was Made

We were so excited to watch Sarah Fuller make history today as the first female to play in a power 5 conference football game!

Way to go, Vandy!

Coleman's High School Memory Quilt

With plenty of time over quarantine, I made Coleman's memory quilt out of some of his favorite high school tshirts. 

Thursday Throwback

Found this cleaning out the basement this week. What a great concert! I remember we were on the very top row in the pmac. Hard to believe the tickets were only $20... and that the fee was only $1.50! Ironic-presented by Corona!

ATL Flyover

Today the Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds did a flyover Atlanta to support frontline workers and first responders. We drove over to GA-400 to find a place to watch. Every parking deck we passed was packed.

 We ended up on the side of the road and had a great view.

They crossed over us twice

and the second time released their contrails. 

 

This is the first time they have done a joint flyover. Yesterday was NYC and today they flew over Baltimore/DC before Atlanta. I'm so glad we went!

DCES Teacher Parade

Although our days at Duncan Creek Elementary are long past,I was so happy to see the teacher parade in the neighborhood today!

So sweet of them to come "visit" their kids this morning!

Succulents

I purchased the succulent on the left in the cute pot. I planted the other two in these gorgeous pots that my resident potter made me!

First Day of Sticklets/JR Laxers 2020!

Mill Creek volunteers

Great group of girls!

Partner in crime

 Great group of boys!

FCA Polar Bear Camp 2020

One of my favorite days of the year! I hate that Carolyn missed it this year because of XPO.

 Couldn't do it without our volunteer coaches!

 I think this is our 6th or 7th year for girls camp. And after a several year hiatus, boys camp is back!

 Another great group of volunteer coaches!

And sweatshirt sorting is always so much fun-especially when they arrived after camp because of weather issues!

Ready to Watch the Tigers Play

First pot of gumbo of the season!

 Gumbo found a treat, too!

 Lucy says, "I likes popcorn!"

TIGERS WIN!!! 

Finally Got One

Finally decided to bite the bullet and try to get the new chicken sandwich from Popeye's. (I tried the first round and was unsuccessful!)

Pulled up to the end of the line at 12:30...

 At 12:59, Carolyn and I pulled away with our order!

 It did not disappoint! It was OH SO GOOD!

(Carolyn had to eat hers will working on a project for AP Lang.)

Mamaw's Hoosier

One of the only things I have from my dad's family. My mom brought this old hoosier home from my Mamaw and Papaw's house in Arkansas and refinished it. My dad replaced the pullout shelf. 

I love to imagine my grandmother making biscuits here.

Letter Jacket

Carolyn's letter jacket came in!

 lots of patches already

Now if fall would also make an appearance so she could wear it...

Good Luck for Flag Football Tryouts

Good luck flowers from her brothers

The Most Awesome Lamp Eve

I found this lamp at an antique store. It was from a movie set warehouse down in Atlanta.

 I texted a pic to Coleman and got an emphatic YES! So home it came! (I can't believe I paid what I did for this monster!)

 It required a lot of touchup, but now has a loving home in #203.

FCA Polar Bear Clinic

Our fifth annual FCA Polar Bear Clinic was a huge success!

 We had great speakers:

Audrey, Danielle, and Carolyn

Megan Smith, the assistant coach at Lee University

and Stephanie DeSmit, who played for the Boston Ride.

 We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather!

 Great supporters-Bryan from Gwinnett FCA and Riley from FCA Lacrosse

 lots of great drills

 lots of goalies

 and lots of great coaches!

This is one of my favorite events of the year

 

Look! Sticklets!

 Carolyn on D

 We had over 100 players and almost 20 coaches.

Can't wait until next year!
