You don't have to wait until next week to see more pages!! Aren't you excited? I figured out the template. It was rainy here yesterday morning so it gave me a great excuse to lounge around and play with the templates. Now back to the fun we recently had in Georgia.
We tease my mom about her "visualizations". She is always visualizing what it would be like to do..... (fill in the blank). Since the kids were babies, my mom has always talked about taking them downtown and going to the Fox Theatre. The Fox Theatre brings back lots of memories. Mom took me there to see my first musical, Annie. I LOVED Annie. Maybe it was her hair that I loved so much. I can remember the night we went to see the musical. My mom dressed me up in a dress of course. I don't think I wore pants until I was in the second grade. It was so exciting. I went to a few things at the Fox growing up. I also had my senior prom in the Egyptian Ballroom at the Fox. We were all dolled up that night. Big hair and big dresses! Lots of fun memories.
While the kids and I were in Georgia, we went to see Thomas the Train at the Fox. My mom LOVED the whole idea of taking the kids downtown. The kids loved Thomas! They were precious singing the songs. As Thomas and the gang were doing there last song, Keenan was waving good bye. I look over and my mom has tears rolling down her face. She was brought to tears seeing her grandchildren at the Fox. Now that is memorable!
You can't go downtown without eating at the Varsity. Another Atlanta landmark. I don't think it is the food that makes it great. The experience is worth fat grams. Chili dogs and GREASY onion rings are delicious but it is fun to watch the people who work there. Many of the men have been there forever and you better know what you want when you walk up to the counter. No time to be wishy washy.
It was a fun afternoon. Now mom can mark that off her list of things to do with the kids.
So if you are in Atlanta, run by the Varsity and order a chili dog and onion rings.
