Off to Hike

Up early for a big hike -- particularly "big" because it's almost 2 hours away. This will probably be my only time hiking here because of the distance. It's a special hike with waterfalls, big mountain climb, views, etc. 

I had a thought last night -- could this hike be near my favorite town on route to Asheville? The answer is YES. It's about 30 minutes away. I was all set to give it a visit after the hike, but most of Main Street is closed on Sunday. Dang. I would've gone in a heartbeat.  

Windshield is replaced. Glad that's done.

I did a mock setup of the table scapes and they're fine. Not fancy, but fine. The venue and atmosphere calls for fine, not fabulous. It's old, lots of character, super duper casual bordering on dingy. My cheap, double-sided picture frames and almost plastic-like table doilies work. Each table has pictures, candy, votive candles (water activated kind), little flowers, and a decorative cookie at each place setting. It fits the vibe. I had to hot glue some of the frames -- cheap stuff. 

No diss to the restaurant -- it's practically an historical venue for mid-town Atlanta. Famous people abound (with pictures on the wall), award winning southern food, old converted house. It all works to get a "taste of the south" for the event. It's just a vibe that's old-casual, not old-glamour.

I had to play mix-n-match with pictures. I have 2 sizes of frames, 4 tables. It was like a puzzle for each table. Got it done with one picture to spare -- no dupes at any table. I relatively randomly ordered the prints with the selection the kids sent without thinking that through -- lucked out.

The wedding list is still going, but pausing for a day off today. Back at it Monday.

I workout out yesterday and wore my flag shorts. It felt horrible, like I was supporting Orange so I added an empowerment shirt. I hate how they've claimed the flag. Our new house will be the first house we won't hang a flag. Exchanged picture with a hiking friend who was also wearing a good message. Little points of unity. 

Hope you have a good Sunday. Later gators.
