We are spending Thanksgiving with my Hurston side of the family in Atlanta this year. My mom and I divvied out the cooking responsibilities amongst the family chefs and my Aunt Tommie is hosting a crew of 14 plus Ozzie.
We’ve ordered smoked Turkey and Brisket from local BBQ spots…I’d share but neither are accepting last minute orders this week.… Read More »

Yes, I have my very own washer and dryer in my home. It has been a long time
since I’ve been in a laundromat…probably a few decades actually. I mostly remember scrambling to find quarters. So I was pretty intrigued to find out what a laundromat looks like in 2023. … Read More »
Booking flights can be an overwhelming process! Clients often ask me…when is the best time of year to book flights, are there better days during the week to book, are there cheaper days to fly, how do you know if you are getting a good price?… Read More »
Yep, I’m still keeping track of Trick or Treaters at my house. I have the sweetest new neighbors across the street who borrowed costumes from my stash and came over when done to help me tally the final count. The previous owners of our Meadowlake home started this tradition in 1984. They were out of town in 1994 and 20 years later in 2014 we were out of town for the Auburn @Ole Miss game. … Read More »
I became a Vanderlyn parent in 2003 when my oldest entered Kindergarten. We chose our home because of its proximity to the school and walked our boys and our dog George, to and from Vanderlyn for 9 years. We were all there for the very first VanderDash! I miss being involved at Vanderlyn so much that I’m entering my 2nd year as a member of the Vanderlyn PAC (Principal’s Advisory Committee).… Read More »

I love football. Particularly high school football. I’m so proud of Coach Mike Nash and this year’s Dunwoody football team and coaches and trainers and band and cheerleaders! Last night they clinched a playoff spot for the first time in many many years.
My parents were in town for about 24 hours to tour the Fox Theatre and attend the Dunwoody Woman’s Club Home Tour. We bought our tickets in advance to save $5 each. We picked up our ticket booklet at Southern Comforts the morning of the tour and ran into Mayor Lynn Deutsch who was about to give a “kick off speech”!… Read More »

Well, thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions. We’ve called our sweet little fellow by so many names this week that it will probably take him forever to understand the final name. Here it is: Ozzie Murphy Anders! We will be calling him Ozzie.

I am so excited about my tomato crop this year. I’ve never had such a bountiful tomato harvest! I finally realized growing tomatoes in pots is MUCH more difficult than planting them straight into the ground. In all my previous years of trying to grow tomatoes, I would get one or two from each pot and found myself watering the pots multiple times per day because they were so thirsty the pots kept drying out. … Read More »
