lost

you know when you forget how to get to a place that you want to find. You want to go back because there was something that sparked your interest & fancy...but now you cannot recall how to get there. What was the name? What lend you to it in the first place?

That happens to me often, well not often..but too many times more than I like. Often on the internet or at work.

this place is not one of those {because my huzbin knows where it is and eats there more than I get too}, but it's simple name makes me think it could get lost....Garden Produce & Country Store

yummy fried okra and mac & cheese...squash cassarole I've only heard about.
We sat on the porch area and enjoyed the milder summer weather. Before the massive rain deluge. We did not have any flooding by my home thank goodness, but we did have two days off of school. The power of water. Funny it's our science unit next week.

speaking of Lost I miss it...but loving the new fall season. Now if Thursday could share some of the wealth with the rest of the week.

butterflies & flowers

Still cannot comprehend my baby girl is now three!

Love when family & friends get together...it's just never enough. My Auntie & Uncle Bill from AZ came~ and my Uncle Jim & Aunt from MI surprised my mom with a visit!

We had a good time last month celebrating Avery with a butterfly flower garden-ish party.

{love you Duncan Hines!}

Gaddie and Tood made the fabulous personalized birthday tags and round flags...even a butterfly magic wand

The favors were candy flower pots {the boys received sizzler magnets..saved an extra for my class} and make your own goodie bag from the candy jars..

All the kiddos wanted to help unwrap~ it was a blur of princess dress-up gowns, clothing, and tissue paper...
The weather cooperated, unlike last year, so we were able to go outside and splash around. It was a little to hot, but I'll take it.

fun, fun day!

good things...

two front teeth...lost

{hopefully his new teeth do not fully come in until after Christmas =) }


a sister...my brother got engaged last weekend! It was cute, on the beach.. with the ring in a shell.

wonderful weather...perfect temps for me to be outside

Ben & Jerry's half baked FroYo... shared & eaten in one sitting

III

make a wish!

hope yours comes true...mine did!

well, now that August is over & all the fun busy/crazyness that it was,, maybe I'll have time to post about it!

School started off totally great..I am loving my school. my team is awesome & students are wonderful to boot! Avery turned three {really that day she started talking even more and saying such big girl things} Oh she'll always be my baby girl.

My mom, Auntie, and Avery went to see Dora at the Fox theatre. Avery's first! It was a good show and Avery was into it the whole time. I thought she'd sing more, but she was totally entralled at the stage.

Auntie Connie {Avery's Godmother} with Avery and my mom

athens

..if only it was in Greece.

No, our Athens here...University of Georgia was my adopted school since mine was small {i.e nothing to do} ..so we would go there for concerts, eventful shopping, etc. My brother graduated from there and my huzbin has grown up a UGA fan. Anyways my point is that now Bryce is a fan and wants to go to UGA. Although he has declared he is never moving away {oh help me} ever. We took Bryce & Avery to the countdown to kickoff day last month and Bryce got his {play} helmet autographed by some of the current & past football players.

We checked in on the Georgia Theater that suffered a fire in June. I wasn't sure what had burnt down, so I was happy to see this still standing...

I have seen some awesome shows there... I hope they are able to rebuild the theater {I believe it's over 100 years old} We ate at one of my fave restaurants there and roamed around a little..

it's the end of the summer as I know it

card from here.
I am back to work Monday, tho we are furloughed until Wednesday. So much to do with opening a new school. It never all gets done, but the important things {like putting up Cat in the Hat magnets from Target's $1 bin} get accomplished.

....love lavender. I don't know why I hadn't thought of this before..Paul had dried some lavender and then boiled it in a kettle. The smell was wonderful throughout our abode,,ahhh we can let summertime linger

{the lanterns were only out for Paul's birthday movie night... & again forgot to turn them on}
