Molly's Day

Molly turns 13 tomorrow. Her friend, Jory, flew in from TX for her birthday. We picked her up this morning from her aunt's house. Then we headed over to Decatur for the green market and breakfast at Chik-fil-a. Left there to head to my school for the spring carnival. Molly and Bella and Jory went to elementary there, so many teachers and friends to see. Stayed from 11:30-3:30. Then we headed home to get Bruce. Out to dinner at Enzo's. Met Keith with Em and Lyds. We kept his girls and sent home for a quiet evening. After dinner we went to Kat and Rosa's new place to help them with their move to a new apt. Home from there for birthday cake (chocolate w/ raspberry cream frosting) which I made last night. Who can say exhausted?

I am the sleepy zombie.

What's what

Gotta keep up with what's what in my life. As a follow up to my last post, my mom passed away last August . Next time I see her, she'll be perfect. I did not go to FL for her cremation and for putting her ashes in the Banana River. I spoke with one of my sisters re: this and she said not to worry about coming, as we had no $$ for the trip and school was about to start. No Worries! Now my sisters are not speaking to me. Crazy.

I'm trying to start a business making and selling caramels. They are very good. If you'd like some, let me know. I make chocolate, orange, salt, cinnamon roll, honey-almond, vanilla, coffee, vanilla-bacon and cinnamon-bacon. 10 for $4. Trying to get them started at some of the green markets that have popped up in and around the city. I'm much better at making the caramels than marketing them.

Well, that's enough for now. Peace out, roomies!

What up?

My mom is dying.

Holy mackeral! Such a day. The eggs were against me and Molly lied to me. I did make some lovely banana bread. Grumpy. I'm going to bed.

Delivery from my cat this morning. One half dead chipmunk. I think I'll have the scone instead...

Nice! A picnic at Stone Mountain Park with Bels and Molly and Roo. Roo tripped Molly and she fell in the water and soaked her pants and sleeves. Unfortunately she did not wear a shirt under her sweat jacket and of course she had no extra pants. Bels did not bring a jacket after a couple of suggestions that she should so she ended up wearing my sweater. Nonetheless, we all had a good time. It's pretty becuase it's spring. Some parts are scary due to our flood last fall. I love SMP. So glad it's almost my backyard.
The girls and are are planting a veggie garden , so we are in the process of clearing a patch of land. Always the toughest part of building a garden and I don't think the younger girls had this in mind when I mentioned "garden"...
Ah well, live and learn.

Snow has been falling most of the day in Atlanta. I stayed home with a cold and got to see the robins going nuts in the snow. I had no idea they would be so excited about it! From tree to tree and all over the yard, it was like a party! Now that the snow has stopped (temporarily?), everything is quiet...
Crazy weather in the south. But isn't that always the case in the winter and spring? Crazy wind at the end of February. Snow on March 2. Coming in like a lion. How will it go out? Can't tell 'til it gets here...
Bruce and I drove up to Asheville one spring break (April). As we were driving thru Peace Valley, I looked up at the mountain in front of us and asked Bruce what the white stuff was all over. I thought my eyes were malfunctioning. Within minutes we were in a Christmas card scene. Bizarre! We were just laughing so hard. It was so strange.
