This is my Marquis Who’s Who badge!


 I was nominated, interviewed, and chosen to be in Marquis Who’s who for 2025. Not sure why they chose me, but I feel  very humbled and honored.The book comes out every year around April or May. I didn’t order one, but you can find them in the library.

Had a great last minute trip to Santa Rosa

 My sweet neighbor from Lane Creek offered her condo for free during off season to a few of the gals in our neighborhood. She Asked only for us to pay the cleaning fee. I spent the first half of the week with my dear friend Suzanne, and the second half with some of my lane creek friends! What an incredible time we had!!!












Suzanne and I stayed Sunday-Thursday and then Michelle, Amber, and Angela came Thursday-Sunday. Stacey, who generously let us use her condo came in Friday and stayed in her other condo, so we got to hang out with her a few times!






























Bad hair day!🤣😂

Ellie and James, too cute!

 Ellie lived with us in Duluth this semester because it was closer to the Dahlonega campus. She had to go between 2 campuses her last semester. Today she moved back to Athens. I’m gonna miss seeing that sweet face every day!

Piper learning to use a spoon!

 Uh oh, spaghetio!



So very sad to hear that Mrs. Bush passed away today!

 Since we moved to Lane Creek, our sweet neighbors, the Bushes, took our girls under their wings and treated them as their very own grandchildren. They would buy them books twice a year at the book fairs, come to the girls tea parties, come to grandparents day at school since both sets of our kids grandparents lived out of town, would give the girls money every Christmas, candy every Halloween, bring us watermelons in the summer. Helen was a writer. She wrote cards for Hallmark. She wrote several books called tree man that she gave to the girls because they had a “tree man” in their back yard. Oh, and Mr Bush made boards for our family. They radiated love, kindness, and generosity. They made a huge difference in many lives in such a quiet way. ❤️❤️❤️
