Howdy, friends! The hubs and I have escaped to one of our favorite spots for the weekend -- Lake Rabun... we're celebrating 10 years of marriage/blended family today! So of course, that tops the list for today's Five on Friday. :) 1. The plunge... if you didn't already know, we got married at his aunt's home on Lake Rabun and jumped off the boathouse after saying our vows. Lots of wonderful memories from that special day! In ten … [Read more...]
Refreshing the Back Deck
June 8, 2016 by · 3 Comments
We've been embracing our deck-sitting season as the weather has permitted and I'm so glad I refreshed it before graduation! I spent an entire day pressure washing... it was in dire need! And I'd hoped to get a fresh coat of stain/sealer down, but we haven't had enough days without rain yet to tackle that. Anyhoo, I decided to go ahead and plant my flowers, lay a new rug and add a bit of temporary seating for the time being. These … [Read more...]
Helllloooooo, Summer!
June 2, 2016 by · 1 Comment
Hard to believe it but the month of May is history and we're in summer mode here in ATL. The irony is that during my teaching years I found myself in leisurely hog-heaven on June 2. This year however I think leisure will be hard to come by as we get Legacy ready to rock on August 10th. So I'm navigating new waters of having a hefty to-do list, no set schedule, and lots of summer time activities that may have to fall by the wayside. However, … [Read more...]

It's that time of year -- that May Madness! We've been on a string of graduation parties and getting the house prepped for our own celebration later today and tomorrow. And now I'm in the throes of a TON of Legacy business (woo hoo!) so it's a nice juggling routine we've got working around here. I can't believe this guy is graduating! And along with that comes all those other graduation announcements... and before you know it … [Read more...]
Front Porch Progress

Hello, friends! I hope you all had an awesome Mother's Day last weekend... this week totally got away from me with Legacy "to dos", but I have managed to eek out a little progress on the front porch. I have a breather this weekend so I'm hoping to get some more done out there, on the back deck, too, and tackle a couple of furniture projects for the booth. Good intentions, folks! ;-) Let's revisit our inspiration photo for my … [Read more...]
The Meaning of Legacy

Hi gang ~ I hope your weekend was wonderful! I had a great time at Lake Rabun with my in laws and a bunch of other "girls"... we had a such fun catching up and celebrating my SIL's career as an educator. Here was my view each morning when I woke up... It was a good time for me to unplug for a couple of days, too. I've spent some time over the last week or so thinking a lot about Legacy, so I thought I'd share a little of that brain … [Read more...]

The Front Porch Plan
April 28, 2016 by · Leave a Comment
This has been a busy week and I want to thank you all for your prayers... I have surely felt God's presence and His grace as I've moved through a few situations! I'm so thankful I serve a big God who walks with me, guides me, and shows His grace every day. Today I want to share my plan for the front porch... it's been QUITE a while since there's been a major overhaul (normally it's just fresh plants/pillows) and I'm itching to do that this … [Read more...]
