The next generation


Who doesn't love a puppy?? My mom flew into town to pick up the newest addition to our family this past weekend. A grandson to her last dog, Jeffrey, this puppy has some big shoes to fill.  He still doesn't have a name so suggestions are welcome! At 10 weeks old he is already about double my dog Manly's massive size. Haha.  Despite his obvious disadvantage, Manly certainly threw his weight around and gave this little border collie a run for his money.  I'm sure that in a couple weeks when Manly and I trek to Denver, this little guy will be much bigger and will no longer squeeze into the travel bag he had to go in to fly to his new home.

Hinterland


Last Saturday evening, some friends of mine and I braved the cold to enjoy Luminocity's Hinterland.  We started at the Rialto Theater, and gleefully ran through the streets of downtown Atlanta all the way to the Georgia Aquarium while following dancers, drummers, stilt walkers, fire-eaters, and Outkast's very own Big Boi. When I say "gleefully ran" I do mean that phrase literally!! Sometimes it was walking or standing while full of glee, but this event was so much fun we couldn't help but smile the entire time. Even when the crowd was so big you couldn't find or get to the main focus of dancers, you would be hard pressed not to run into a single dancer gliding through the crowd or a stilt walker ready to take a picture. The drummers or the music could be heard throughout downtown and kept the crowd moving. My poor camera had a hard time figuring out what to focus on as I was basically aiming into the dark towards glow sticks, but I managed to capture a little of the night.  I'm definitely looking forward to their next event!

Big Boi

As you can see, there were a few people roaming the streets...and dancers were "off the wall!"





We couldn't help ourselves...inspired to dance and ooze through the streets...LOL!

Scarves :)


I think that my favorite cold weather accessory is the scarf. All the colors and textures and ways to wear them...they just make me happy.  Enjoying the last of the changing leaves and a variety of scarves (not the weather...it was COLD and windy!), my friend Oz, my dog Manly, and I spent some time in Atlanta's Grant Park over the weekend.  The colors were amazing!!





Me & my Manly!
