Brush, another Decatur delight.

Brush, another Decatur delight.

Ah, Decatur.  When visiting Atlanta, this little enclave is my charming ‘in-between’ location — a destination close enough to my parents’ house without having to go all the way in the city and a place I don’t have to worry too much about parking — not […]

Indya by Vineet, colorful and economical.

With our foster dog recovering from a long overdue surgery (always spay and neuter your pets, people!) I hadn’t planned anything significant for the weekend.  In the end, this was a good idea.  Friday saw Hubs enjoying golf in the beautiful February weather which Dubai […]

Drift Beach, Provence cuisine.

Drift Beach, Provence cuisine.

Although I’ve heard from numerous friends that Drift Beach is a dynamic location for a sophisticated beach day, I hadn’t had the fortune of visiting the venue until recently.  Hubs and I don’t have regular access to a pool, which doesn’t usually bother me — mostly […]
