Had a fun lunch with all my family!

Then Miles, Ashley and Jesse and I went to the High Museum to see the special exhibit on Picasso and Warhol.


Actually there were 14 current masters on display. Some of my favorites were there. Including Matisse.

I saw many of these paintings at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC.

Picasso’s art pops!



Mondrian.

I also saw his work in the Stedelyjk Museum in Amsterdam. He’s Dutch.

Calder. (Did you know he invented the mobile?)

And of course Andy!


Good times!

I love the big buildings downtown!

Had a fun day today!

Had BBQ with Kathy and Jesse at our favorite place: Crazy Ron’s. It’s in the city of Stone Mountain and a great place to eat.

It looks like a train engine.

Delicious!

Decided to go to an antique place in Stone Mountain. It used to be the Post Office.

I liked this indian.

And this ventriloquist’s doll.

Love these cirrus clouds.

Climbed Stone Mountain!

Glad I didn’t need this.

Or this one!

Talk about shallow root structure!

‘
From the top!

And just in case climbing Stone Mountain isn’t hard enough, put on a vest and fill it with weights!

Could have been me.

One of my favorite mysteries! This ancient inscription on Stone Mountain written in a forgotten Indian language!

Enjoyed hanging out with Kathy this evening. We watched Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Cute.

Worked on admin duties this morning.

Went for a brisk 1 mile walk before eating lunch with Jesse.


Picked up some new calendars from Perimeter Mall. I always get the Weather calendar.

J and I met Ashley and Miles at Azalea to help the kids.

The Treasurer of our Board, Jon Paul, gave us a bunch of blankets and coats for the folks who live at Azalea.

They sure were happy about that!

Also went over to Concept 21–Corners to sign the new lease for the mission apartment.

Going through my email and putting away paperwork.

Looking forward chilling out!

Can you see Venus?

Still adjusting to the fact that Ashley is a married woman now. Talked to Geico to see what, if any, changes needed to be made. Looks like it’s fine like it is, I just had to change the address for where the car is located.

Had a fun day at the mission today!



Great to have Miles, Ashley and Jesse helping!

Email and admin duties await . . .

I liked this raptor that was in the tree outside the mission.

I like the concept of the sun “growing roots.”

Cold day!


Don’t think the hummingbirds will be drinking from this!

Woodpeckers love suet. I smear it on the tree.

Worked on some admin tasks this morning.

Wrote up my mileage log.

Contacted our director for ESL about some classes starting on the 10th.

Coordinated a drop of Christmas toys and candy at FBC Doraville.

Got some exercise at the Quarry as Stone Mountain. Very few people ever go up that side.

Watched True Grit with Kathy this evening. My favorite movie from Christmas 2010.

More admin duties!

Looking forward to working with the kids tomorrow at the mission.

Spent time working on the health coverage for Jesse today.

Still having some issues with the form. Should be ok now.

Gave myself a hair cut!

Creative writing time!

Went shopping for groceries.

Admin duties now!

Had a restful day!

After my long night at the Cake concert, I needed it.

The Fox theatre! Don’t get no better!

The warm up band: Wolff and Tuba were incredible!

It was a great show that even had a circus.

Let them eat CAKE!

I had third row tickets!

An amazing way to bring in the new year!

Jesse and I went to Stone Mountain to walk in the Bird Sanctuary for sunset.

Almost looks like Ayers Rock in Australia!

They added some new signage. Always getting better out there.

I like the way the roots are exposed.

The sun: branching out!

Took care of a bunch of admin duties, check writing in particular.

Always plenty of bills!

Got the labels in we ordered.

Went up Stone Mountain.

Beautiful clouds!

Cirrus looks like horse’s manes.

I love sitting on these big chunks of granite!

My shadow enjoyed his walk.

I love the reflection of the Sun off the face of the mountain. Looks like liquid magma!

Fun!

Watched the Alamo Bowl. An amazing game which I’m glad to see BAYLOR won! Some incredible stats including most TD ever in a single bowl game!

Enjoyed a walk through the neighborhood.

I like this typewriter. Don’t miss those good ol’ days!

Got back to the ATL last night around 9pm!

It’s right at 1,000 miles one way to my parent’s house in Georgetown, Texas. That’s a long way any way you cut it!

We enjoyed the beauty of Texas.

And Kitok’s in Waco!

And our sweet family there!

I love the historic buildings in Georgetown!

And the old tractors at Mr. Miller’s place.


I always look forward to searching for fossils and arrowheads. I mostly find hand axes and scraper tools.

I spend a lot of time looking down at stuff like this.

I also enjoy looking for bones. That’s osteology for you scientists!


Check out this fossil femur I found. Groovy.

Had a great time and glad to be back!

Beautiful sunsets!

I liked this picture of Jesse.

And this trash can.

We had a fun party for my dear brother Bill Doverspike today.

Groovy!

Most of the families turned up.

Always good to see friends. And birthday pie!

Worked on cleaning out the car in preparation for our trip to Texas starting tomorrow.

Fun day!
