J and I had a fun day!

We had a delicious country lunch at Green Tomato.

Then to Ally’s Attic, a consignment antique place.

I dig Superman.

I’m not sure this is a good idea.

I love my new large, ceramic hand!

Jesse said this Santa has “weary eyes.”

I bought this for $5. This was my first camera! Good ol’ Kodak Instamatic 104s! I remember shooting pictures with this camera of the flamingos in Nakuru, Kenya when I was 6.

I don’t think I need a dish when I’m chafing.

Anyone need a Johnny Mathis 8 Track tape?

Hi-Fi, baby!

Creepy baby face.

Another reason I love Atlanta.

Do you use straws?

For a second I thought I had X-Ray vision.

Reflection of the clouds from the hood of a white car.

A different temperature of air flow.

Wasn’t sure about whether Sugar Dog needs her own Bible.

And I certainly don’t want a cheese Jesus.

One of my favorite Escher images.

I like the look of these gas prices.

I found these two objects on one truck ironic.

We worked on producing the newsletters today.

Ashley printed her copy out and worked on our Financial Report that we do every two weeks.

I went to Staples to print out my copies.

Got some bad news while I was over there. Our Staples is going out of business. Sad to see people lose their jobs right before Christmas.

Went to the mission with Ashley and Jesse!

We finished folding up the newsletters, and worked on homework. I couldn’t believe that some of the kids actually had homework!

Deanne Waldrop from First Baptist Atlanta brought us some stockings and candy for the kids.

I told all the kids the story of Christmas. They were pretty attentive.

Then we gave numbers to all the kids–there were over 70 that showed up.

We let the kids come in four at a time to pick out a little gift from our store.



All the kid about three gifts each.

Special thanks to my friend Doug Allison who made it possible to purchase so many presents for the kids!

Everyone seemed happy!







It was about as stress free as we could make it for having a bunch of kids clamoring for presents.

Kathy and I have enjoyed watching the second disk of the Mentalist first season . What a great show.
