Georgia on my Mind. July 2018.

Home, sweet, home. It’s always so great to catch up with family and friends. Also, the shopping. I missed strolling through Target (they have nothing like it in CPH), aimlessly getting all the odds and ends you need (and don’t need.) Andy got to come for a few days too.

While the kids were making the Grandparent rounds, I went up to have lunch with my brother Daniel, and sister-in-law, Katie. We got lunch from The Place (all things fried), and I got my favorite cookie from Insomnia. Yes, my favorite cookie is Oatmeal Raisin, followed by Sugar, Snickerdoodle, and then maybe Chocolate Chip.

And I got to snuggle with the nieces- Norah, Lily, and Milly.

I went to my first Atlanta United game at the Benz with my cousin Michael. It lived up to the hype- the stadium, the team, the fans, the food (I got the pimento cheese from Fox Brothers.)

I got to see all my friends!!! I stay in touch with social media and texting, but it’s not the same.

The kids and I got to spend some fun time at Daniel and Katie’s new house in Athens. Sleepovers, braids, baking, and sprinklers. Makes my heart happy to see all the cousins together. They love each other so. It’s funny to see how alike they are. Norah and Andrew are the rule-followers, and Katherine and Lily are the pot stirrers.

Before we left the kids got to visit our cousin Michael at Turner Sports Studios. It’s where they film all the NBA shows you see on TBS and TNT. He showed us around the sets and explained how it all works. Very cool.
