I can’t believe I’m spending my day off waiting at the car repair shop, to change a burned out headlight, of all things, because my type of car doesn’t let you change it yourself. An hour and half wait! But I brought my book, currently reading The Paris Wife, so I can slip into the 1920’s with Hemingway and Hadley for the afternoon…
I’m driving around the north Georgia country this afternoon (chauffeuring my son around) and noticed this has to be some of the most beautiful and peaceful scenery I have ever seen.  Farms are scattered across the landscape, charming old houses and some beautiful new ones too, a few country stores and even a cemetery called Ebenezer.  Around every turn there was a different church painted into the landscape, quaint and small, and each one seemed to tell a history of the area. It was like stepping back in time, yet all-the-while knowing the city was probably only fifteen minutes away in the opposite direction should I need a quick […]
