Sorry For the Festival Goers!!!

It's doing something we really, really need in Atlanta....BAD! Raining! Like, for two days now! It's so strange, we had forgot what it was like! So here I sit, finding time to blog (note last date I got a posting on here...not good!)

But is also really sucks (sorry, best word I could use) for those people attending the Earth Day Event at Glenwood Park on Saturday or the Inman Park Festival and Tour of Homes Saturday and Sunday! I was looking forward to venturing out! We had a break in the rain, a slight peek of sunshine, so I grabbed the ladder and cleaned the gutters (I'm at my house today, not in the condo) and yes, I always remember to clean my gutters once I see all the water pour out of them instead of down the downspout....oh well!

This is my pond at the house....one of the reasons I keep my house AND my Midtown Condo...it's kind of a zel-like retreat from he hustle and bustle...and not a 90 minute drive to the mountains either! Mind you, it does not look quite that good right now from a lack of maintenance, so will be working on that in the coming weeks, to bring it back to life. UGH!...it took me forever to get the water right last time!

Anyway, we had the Midtown Tour of Homes the first weekend in May. We had rain on Saturday, but still had about 175 people visit the home where I was at. Sunday, we kicked butt with almost 400 people coming through! Yippie! The Tour of homes is a fund raiser for the Midtown Neighbors' Association, of which I am a member of the Board of Directors and Chair the Membership Committee.

This was the house where we were House Captains....a great example of a home rescued from a recking ball, and restored to all it's glory!

I love the historic part of Midtown, and when it makes sense, both financially, and physically, I like to see these homes preserved. It sure makes for a great evening walk through the tree lined streets...and then we can head back to our "home in the sky at Plaza Midtown!

Sorry For the Festival Goers! I'm getting my desk cleaned up!
