Good Morning! It promises to be a busy week, with Back To School Night at the elementary school and after-school activities already starting to kick into high gear. I just got back from the
Piedmont Dog Park with Mocha, after school drop-off. We've finally had a little break in the heat that has scorched Atlanta for the last month -- nice, big storms over the weekend brought in some much-needed rain and cooler temperatures. But, why am I talking about the weather?!
This coming weekend, Labor Day Weekend, is the
Decatur Book Festival, and I am so excited! This is probably our biggest literary event in Georgia, and they have a three-day schedule of events, author appearances, classes, performances and all kinds of stuff that will have any book fanatic or literary type all worked up in a lather of enthusiastic anticipation. There is a full schedule of events available online:
Check it out!
I will be helping out at the
PaperBackSwap.com booth (very near the Beer Vendor off W. Trinity Pl. Saturday morning.
