Georgia on my mind....

A year ago today we had our Penske loaded up, our snacks and Sonic in tow, as we headed back west. I've been thinking about Georgia A LOT lately, so I thought I would highlight a few "What I'm missing most" like I did awhile back about AZ when I was freezing my tail off!



Fall. As in Autumn. You know, the season that barely shows it's face here? It's cooler for sure, but that's the only indication we know it's upon us. Granted...it's 88 degrees today. Fall in Georgia is incomparable!

Dinner/Game night with our friends. We miss spending time with their cute kids, eating a fabulous meal - rarely, if ever, prepared by moi...which is why it was always delish and playing Settlers or Sequence or Speed Scrabble til late! Ok, did any of the games we play start with a letter other than "S"???


Driving in the country. I'm a city girl at heart, always have been, always will be. But every once in awhile I wish I could take that 2 min drive from my apartment where there was nothing but vast stretches of green fields and tall trees. I do not miss the roadkill tho. Ew.

Extended Hoodie season!!! I own more than the average Arizonan I think. Unless over 25 isn't alot? I always had an excuse to buy more b/c it was colder longer!

GA home architecture. If i could load one up and bring it over here on a flatbed, I'd do it right now. I can't think of seeing a single house that had an ounce of stucco on it! Love love love!!!

Southern hospitality (totally real), thick accents and having someone end your phone call with, "Have a blessed day!"


Ray Charles pretty much sums it up for me right now:

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm sayin' Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
