Worshiping Online: I do it all the time!

by Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection

I watch and/or listen to church services online and via podcasts all the time.  In fact, when visiting my girlfriend, Leigh, last weekend we decided we wanted to have double “pajama church”.  We each picked a service and watched both together!   I chose Levi Lusko’s Fresh Life Church and she chose Ron Carpenter of Redemption Church.… Read More »

By Audra Anders for The Aha! Connection

Taqueria Los Hermanos

Today I was lucky enough to have lunch with the leasing agent for Shoppes of Dunwoody at Taqueria Los Hermanos.   The waitstaff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive.  The food was simply delicious…delicioso.    I believe this is the fifth location for this Mexican family who’s great grandmother supplied most of the amazing authentic recipes.   … Read More »

Audra’s 2019 Halloween Synopsis + Trick-or-Treater Graph since 1984

My husband and I bought our home from the original owners in 2002. The Orgerons loved Halloween. Interestingly enough, they kept a tally of the number of trick-or-treaters that came to the front door each Halloween since 1984. We kept up the tradition of counting as accurately as we can with the help of all our Halloween guests each year.… Read More »

Audra’s Review of Restaurant Holmes~Downtown Alpharetta

by Audra Anders for The Aha! Connection

I’ve traveled all over the state of Georgia watching my sons play baseball.  Yes, I once was a “travel baseball mom”.   I tell you this because travel baseball families eat out ALOT.  You never know where you’ll be at meal time on a travel baseball weekend so you learn how to YELP well.  … Read More »

Did you know you aren’t supposed to park within 30 feet of a stop sign ?

By Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection   Did you know you aren’t supposed to park within 30 feet of a stop sign ? I learned this (among other things) Wednesday night at a safety/traffic/parking meeting that the Dunwoody Police held with my neighborhood. When I was walking my dog this morning I noticed one of my favorite teenagers parked well within 30 feet of a very hectic stop sign in my neighborhood.… Read More »

Goodbye Beautiful Vanderlyn Oak

By Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection

Vanderlyn Elementary lost one of the most beautiful trees I’ve ever seen on Tuesday night.  Lightning basically tore it in half.  My husband often remarked as we walked under it:   “This is the prettiest tree in Dunwoody”.   He called me with grief in his voice on his way to work on Wednesday telling me to check out Vanderlyn’s tree.  … Read More »

Book of the Week: Next Year in Havana

I haven’t read Next Year in Havana yet, but it comes highly recommended from a friend. (Thanks T.S.)  I’ve had projects that are keeping me from my reading time but will soon be in need of a new book and I’ve decided this one is it!  Reese Witherspoon chose it for her book club last July and I have really liked the few “Reese Picks” that I’ve read!  … Read More »
