Back to a Routine







Well, school is back in session, dance and karate lessons are back on and I'm slipping back into a routine with work.



We took a well needed trip to Vicksburg, Ms and New Orleans, La. In New Orleans, we were able to go see the Southern Living Magazine's Idea House in the Terra Bella subdivision in Convington, La. It was beautiful. The subdivision has the theme of living, working and shopping all in the same place. Parking is in the back of the house with each home having a front porch, sidewalks, city squares, grocery stores, schools, deli, post office. Eveything you need is in one place and within walking distance. The developer told us that they want you to park the car after work and not have to get back in to it again. WOW!!! I would love that. That is a dream come true.



We are also looking for a retail space for rent. Trying to decide if it's the right thing to do right now. We did find a place, in the area that we want so it wouldl just be working out the details with the owner. It is an older building that needs a lot of work.



We have several projects in the works right now that we are excited about. I also have an article that will be in the "Around North Fulton" magazine starting in September. I have so many great ideas but just trying to concentrate on one thing at a time.



On our trip to Vicksburg, we stayed at the Cedar Grove Mansion bed and breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay there. If you ever have the chance, you have to go. Make sure you have dinner at the resturant there. Above are pictures from the inn. You know I had to take pictures of the window treatments. Thank you Kami for loaning me the camera.
