Holla!

Taking a trip

Not me!

My husband!

He's leaving Saturday for a week.

He's flying to

where his daughter lives.

Renting a car and they'll go to

San Diego.

Even though I've never been either place

I selflessly gave up this trip since I'm getting
my own cute little apartment.

I know.

I'm such a giver.

Can Pissy live in 450 square feet???

Yes, she can and it's gonna be adorable!!!!

As some of y'all guessed: I'm moving! I've rented a studio apartment about a block away from the square in Decatur. My oldest daughter lives about 5 minutes away from where I'll be~just on the other side of the square. We're all just super excited about the move. My husband will stay here in our house......with all our stuff and our two pups......his golf buddies and the small town life that he loves and I'll be where I enjoy living. Many families have two homes....normally one at the beach or the mountains. But y'all know me~I have to be different, so our second home will be in the city.

The building I'll be living in.

It was built in 1922 in the "old Atlanta style" of apartment houses.
Not quite sure what that means....I read that in a
zoning document I found. The building is in a historic district.

these windows are opposite front door

dining room with original built-ins

teeny kitchen
new floor and counter tops have been installed
since this picture was taken

I have pictures of the bathroom too, but you know...
a bathroom is just a bathroom.

It DOES have a big window in the shower.
That should be interesting.

Moving and decorating adventures to begin June 1st!!!!

I'm excited.....

big changes are about to take place in my life.

Happy Mother's Day!

Here are lots of sparkly Mother's Day wishes for all you moms out there!

Enjoy your day!

The countdown begins!

Y'all, I am beyond excited!

On June 6th we'll be seeing two of my all time favorite bands: Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago~in concert in Atlanta!!!!!! We missed them the last time they toured in our part of the country, but not this time!

Because I'm feeling nostalgic, here are a couple of old videos....both from the 70's. The very first concert I went to was Chicago Transit Authority (as they were called back then) when they preformed in San Antonio. I was 14 years old. My mother had died about 6 weeks before the concert and one of my brothers took me as a special treat.

The Chicago video was (according to youtube) part of a t.v. special that aired on August 16, 1974.

I was 17 years old and a newlywed. I had just gotten married on August 9th, 1974.

Now here I am....52 ...and I love them just as much as I did back then.
