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 »
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 »

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 »

For those of you who live on Trumbull Drive or travel through Meadowlake neighborhood, you’ll have noticed that it is now a dirt road. This project started Monday and although we are thrilled to be getting a new road, this process is more comprehensive and lengthier than what most of us imagined.… Read More »
FūDO (food-oh) in Chamblee is self-described as Asian mix or fusion, which was immediately off putting. I’ve found in most situations fusion is just short for confusion, but I’ll admit that FūDO is a tasty exception.
We started with the grilled Brussel sprouts with creamy garlic ponzu.… Read More »
I prefer a global santoku, which is small and light, but my husband prefers a wustof chef’s knife, which is the exact opposite. But to be honest, sharp knife > expensive knife.… Read More »
I tend to lean heavily towards fiction, or at least historical fiction, when choosing books to read. However, I try to make myself throw in a few fact based books fairly often. I chose Killers of the Flower Moon because it was high time for me to read a true story. It also grabbed my attention because of being a best seller, winner of multiple awards, and the story is touted as “the birth of the FBI”.… Read More »
