Pringle Park - AT&T Field - Turner Field

Eric managed to squeeze three ballpark visits into one week. He's talented like that! The first on his list was Jackson Generals. He stopped by the park and watched a couple innings while Jackie and I explored Jackson.

The Second was AT&T Field in Chattanooga. We stopped in Chattanooga on our way back to Atlanta on Monday and mostly for the Moonpies but it was fun to see the ballpark too!
I love the saying of this little guy ... "AT&T Field was built for the child in all of us."
This is their mascot - the Lookout!
Welcome to Brave's Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two pictures were taken BEFORE I got heat stroke... awesome.
Turner Field is home to the Atlanta Braves. It was probably one of the most friendly stadiums we've ever been to! Every single usher greeted us as we walked by and a couple ladies even stopped us to inquire where we were from, and then offered for us to sit in their section (the 100 level) instead of the nosebleed section seats we purchased which were in the sun.
Most places have the "Foam Finger" or the "Claw" Turner Field has the "Foam Tomahawk". I wasn't going to fork over $5 for a tomahawk, but they were fun to see in the GIANT tomahawk.
A great view of downtown from the top level.
Go Braves!
Here's Homer the mascot!
This was AFTER my heat stroke set in. I look awesome.
Overall we had a really great trip and it was fun to see so many ballparks!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
