The Last Fall Arts Festival of the Year
It was a beautiful Fall day in the 70’s with a blue sky and puffy clouds. A perfect day for a trip to an arts festival. This was the last one of the season at Chastain Park in Atlanta. I had a hell of a week and started not to come, but my son talked me into it and I’m so glad I went. This is one of my favorite Fall Festivals and it never disappoints. It’s in a wooded area surrounded by trees and with over 100+ vendors, it gives you plenty of variety.
Oktoberfest – A Good Time Was Had by All!
Ah, Oktoberfest in Helen, Ga. It was a heavily anticipated event by me and I couldn’t wait to find some time to go. I’ve been so busy lately so I literally waited until the last weekend and took the time to drive the two hours through the countryside to this Bavarian Village in the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia.
My Renovation Journey – Part 4
When I left off last time, I was talking about the fact that my little reno bubble was soon to pop. The misogyny was sneaking in little by little. I was trying to save money, like I usually do and I spoke to the Project Manager about re-glazing the tub instead of buying a new one because it really wasn’t in bad shape. He didn’t really approve of it but it was my house and he was the one that was complaining about the overruns. I told him I was going to handle it myself and he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
