MEET US IN ATLANTA................

You all know how much fun we have down here in Atlanta....
Even when three bloggers meet we can turn it into a party.....So over lunch today in Midtown with everybody's favorite Ex-Blogger Joyce and
Cheryl of JoJo's Joys....
We discussed how much fun it would be if we shared our town with all you
Ladies out there in Blogland....
We realized how much stuff is going on in town this week....
The Yellow Daisy Festival over at Stone Mountain....
Not to mention great shopping and even better eating....

Here's a little sample of what I'm talking about....
She Crab Soup with a Southern Favorite
Pulled Pork with Slaw...
Homemade chips...


We actually did more eating then talking.....
I spared you all the deep fried Chicken Livers over creamed corn that I ordered...
The Boss asked if they had to "pay me" to eat that....
What can I say I love chicken livers...

We ate at South City Kitchen
And yes...this salad was as good as it looked....
That's candied pecans and chopped fresh peaches you see....
It was my attempt at dieting.....

So back to the Point of the Post.....
We talked about how much fun it would be to have a "Mini-Blogfest"
get together perhaps next September when
All this good stuff is happening...
We all have heard from alot of you lovely bloggers that you would love to come
to Atlanta.....
And we would love to have you!!
So before it's too late and Me and Joyce get exiled back to Jersey and
New York.....
Let us know what you think.....
Good Idea???
Baaaaaaaaaaaaad Idea??????????
OR...
"I have seen pictures of what you and Joyce do in Ikea....
And I wouldn't be caught dead around you two"

That sounds like a fabulous idea Sue! I have been to Atlanta many moons ago but would love to go back.
Oh and the food looks out of this world amazing! I could never stick to a diet with all that good stuff!

With a year to plan, I hope a large group can gather! And BTW - I think there are more chicken liver lovers out there!!

Have a great weekend!

No chicken livers for me either, but I think it's a great idea. With a year to plan, I think we can pull it off. You'll have to assemble some kind of shopping map for us!

LOL! Will have to send this to my chicken liver-loving friend.

What a fun idea! I should probably start dieting now to be ready.

I would LOVE to come to this but the likelyhood is slim. In the meantime, can you send me some of that food?!

Don't you girls look so cute. How fun that you were able to get together again. The blogfest sounds like a good idea and so many bloggers do things to get together with other bloggers and this sounds like a great idea...did you think of this, Sue?

You know I would love to come to Atlanta, but after my trip to Germany and France next June, my budget will probably be depleted (and then some!). Have a great week. We have the big estate sale this coming weekend. Sally

Those chips and that mac and cheese are calling my name....

I know if you all put something together for a blogfest it would be great fun, and it has been years since I've seen Atlanta. I'd try to make it if I could.

Sweet Sue??

Chicken LIVERS??? How much DID they pay you to eat them? :-) The salad looks YUMM-O though...

Woooohoooo! A get together... It sounds like a good idea to me... Oh how I'd love to "Do The South"... I've never been and it's on my wish list.

I think I got the whole add a do-hickey link thing all figured out. Thank you so much for your help! I knew you were laughing like crazy. Some of us just are not as savvy as others. I am SO not techie.

Have a wonderful day!

Huggies!

OK, Sue first of all -- what DO you do in IKEA?

And if you love chicken livers, next time you are up Princeton way, look up a restaurant in West Trenton on Upper Ferry Road --
Paulie's Anna Rose. It's not far, really.

It's in a great big old house, with all sorts of old furnishings, in the middle of a residential area. The food is amazing.. When Alida was in college, we took crowds of her friends there for birthdays or other celebrations.

YOU HAVE to have the appetizer chicken livers. You will thank me for it.

http://www.pauliesannarose.com/index.php

That's the website. Really, it's a hoot, and it's amazing food. Never did lunch there, but I keep threatening to go back to that area again just for a visit to Paulie's.

Leave the diet at home. Order the spedini (sp?) appetizer, too. I'm just saying . . .

You are killin me with that food!!!Yum!!!
How excited I was when I read your comment to me about Yankee Doodle Dandy. I KNOW I have seen it at least 50 times. The first when back in the day Million Dollar Movie ran the same movie 3 times a day for a week. I was a little kid home sick from school and watched it all week long! And yes, that tap dancing scene in Little Johnny Jones give me chills too. As does "Give My Regards to Broadway"....."watch for the skyrocket"! I read somewhere that that was his favorite of all the movies he did.
You are indeed a Kindred Spirit!!!

OMG what have you started? This could be like a bloggy convention without all the drama and competition! I bet you will have a turn-out! Thanks for the personal invite- you never know when I might show up places...... :-) Can you imagine the incidents we could create? Trouble sometimes follows me...

I am there with bells on...hmm, don't ask me what part will be jingling.

By then, you and The Boss will be settled in another home and ready to rent rooms to bloggers attending this event.

Keep me posted.

Your Friend,

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
