I’m not sure how or when I heard about the Whitney Plantation, but I do remember making a mental note that I wanted to visit. I vaguely remember reading {or hearing} about damage that had been done to the plantation as a result of Hurricane Ida, so I figured we’d […]
In the Neighborhood
The Hubs is a total car guy. Whenever he talks to me about them, I get the same glazed over look in my eyes that he gets when I talk to him about photography. Truth be told, I like looking at old cars, I even like riding in the car […]
Remember last weekend I said that I was stepping out of my comfort zone and going to a photography class? Well, I never made it to the class because I got lost. However, I did end up at this really interesting historic site called the Melrose Plantation. When I arrived, […]
A couple of days ago, The Hubs and I decided to take a drive around downtown Albany because we were bored and wanted to get out of the house. As is my habit, whenever we go somewhere, I grabbed my camera and we headed out the door. As we were […]
We’ve been in Georgia for a year now. I can’t believe it. In some ways it feels soooo much longer and in other ways it feels like I’ve only just arrived. I’m still adjusting to things here. The people here are so incredibly polite. Every time someone says “Yes, Ma’am” to […]

The kids moved out and this guy moved in. Fortunately, he doesn’t take up much space and prefers to stay outside. When I first noticed him, I ain’t gonna lie, I screamed. I mean, there was a baby alligator a couple of feet from my face. I’m exaggerating. Kind of. He […]
As many of you know, I used to teach American History when I lived in Pennsylvania, so one of the draws for me in moving to Georgia was the opportunity to explore history and see where “it” happened. One of my, ummmm, I don’t want to call it “favorite” but […]
About six months ago, one of my coworkers told me I needed to pay this place called Dynamite Coffee Bar a visit. She knew the owners and was absolutely positive that I’d love the coffee. I made a mental note to check it out as soon as my schedule allowed… […]
