This morning I worked on gifts for the families that I’m going to visit next week. Picked up wrapping paper and stickers.

Did some shopping at Walmart. I liked these flowers.

Then met up with Ashley at FBC Doraville. I brought her a tiny baby, just a little older than HER baby. This is 14 weeks. Ashley is 11 now.

We rode up to Marietta to see our partner David Tate. They moved to our area about nine months ago.

They’ve had a hard time here. The renters of their house back in S. Carolina left, so now they’re paying two house payments. Looks like they’ll be moving back to Spartanburg, SC. Sad to see that.

After our meeting with David, Ash and I did a quick recon of the square in Marietta. There are a couple of stores there I find really interesting. Ashley got some great ice cream.

We went back to the church to pick up Ashley’s car.

I went to the Gwinnett County Planning Commission meeting this evening. I was the representative from our subdivision against the rezoning of land near our neighborhood.

I hope that this development will not become a reality. It’s nearly 120 houses!

I spoke with the lawyer of the developers and other neighborhood leaders against the rezoning. Here’s our representative.

Came home to work on wrapping gifts for the Jacquins.

Listened to TV.

Here’s the finished Best of Verbal Surgery 2015 project.

The USB key has 20 of my favorite episodes of Verbal Surgery, 10 videos from Story Tim and a 450 page book of wit from my Twitter feed: @timacummins.

Admin duties now.

This sounded weird to me.

Can you imagine putting up a dish like THIS in the back yard?

There was an actual piece of the Berlin Wall on display at the Commission building. I couldn’t believe the urge I had to get a small piece of it.

I did not give into that urge, however.
