Decatur: Day One

That's right, Kats and Kittens....I'm back in Atlanta! Woot!

Got here today....staying at GAbelle's...hopefully going on a field trip with her class tomorrow to.......wait for it:
A Pumpkin Patch!!!!

It has a maze and everything! I'm so excited! Although....there's a 60% chance of rain....and if it rains....the trip will be canceled. Bummer!

Here is a small sampling of what I've done since I arrived....


ate dinner at Little Azios
rigatoni with a spinach sauce....tas-tee!
went to this cool cd store right next to the restaurant...

I love this wall....
while I was there I bought a used CD of
'Austin Powers...The Spy who Shagged Me'

Don't judge!
It's good music to listen to while I trudge on the treadmill!



This was one of those "you had to be there moments"...
but was funny as ....well...hell.

My son-in-law took this picture of me and GAbelle
when he looked at it on my camera
he said,

"Have you been tanning?"

I said,
"Yes"

He said,
"I thought so.
You look like a clay pot"

GAbelle and I immediately burst into hysterical laughter right there on the patio
of Little Azio's.

Like I said: you had to be there.

  1. A clay pot - that's funny. I sure hope it doesn't rain because that field trip sounds like a ton of fun. Those stores with some flavor are cool - too many of them are cookie cutter bland stores now. There used to be some neighborhood music stores I loved as a teen that I could hang in for 1/2 hour even if I wasn't buying anything because the store itself was an experience. Have a great trip!

  2. rat: It really was funny! :)

    I sure hope it doesn't rain either b/c I'm SO looking forward to it!

    You would LOVE this music store..you could literally spend hours in there just looking around. It's so cool!

    Thanks! :)

  3. We had a family-run chain called "Sam the Record Man" here in Canada. The regular stores were cookie-cutter, but two of the flagship locations- Toronto and Halifax, just oozed character. There were momentos from in-store performances, stacks and racks of hard-to-find albums and staff that defined the word eccentric. Sadly, Sam's kids ran the empire into the ground.

    Hope your pumpkin patch trip works out- look forward to the pics. ;-)

  5. Hey, I love that soundtrack. It's got a version of "Word Up", one of "American Woman", and it's got Elvis Costello singing Burt Bacharach style. How can that be shameful??

  11. I've heard "brick house" but never "clay pot" :)

    You wear it well, sweet pea!

    (and I had no idea that "Word Up!" was on the AP soundtrack. Only one of the best songs ever!)
