Historic Oakland Cemetery
Staycationers Historic Oakland Cemetery is a great place to visit. 
It is a huge gardening cemetery. 
This is Maynard Jackson’s grave.
He was Atlanta’s first African American Mayor and served for three terms. Atlanta’s airport is named Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
This is where Bobby Jones is buried. 
Then across the street is Six Feet Under…a restaurant.
More about that later.

Love it!
Neighbors are the best!
I live on a cup-de-sac, with the BEST neighbors ever. I have another group of neighborhood friends one street over. They are AWESOME also! 
We had a little get together last night to say goodbye to one of our favorite families. 
Every morning Bradley Cooper is greeted by the kids. They love him and he loves them. He is going to miss them a great deal.
This is a wonderful neighborhood! 
Willy had a great time too!
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
“A Mandir is a place of paramount peace….to realize God”
– Pramukh Swami Maharaj
A Mandir is a Hindu place of Worship. This one is located in Lilburn Georgia, a little way north of Atlanta. A fun and easy trip for staycationers…
I had company today. My nieces accompanied me to this temple.
More than 34,000 pieces were hand carved in India and shipped to USA and assembled in 17 months by volunteers.
This is an amazingly peaceful and loving place. Inside there are shrines to spiritual leaders and Deities. We couldn’t photograph inside. I wish I could have though, it is simply amazing. The carving details are fabulous. 
This is from the outside, it is even more intricate on the interior. 
They have classes and social gatherings too.
These people were all dressed up beautifully and playing instruments.
All in all it was an amazing day.
Rain Thai and Sushi Bar
I have not been here in a long while and I am not sure why. It is so great!
We started out with gyoza , it was so fresh and sweet. It was light and airy. Then Twp Tuna, White tuna and red tuna, it was delicious. Then the unreal best came out.
Lobster roll and volcano roll. Lobster Roll is unreal, so great! Vocano roll is excellent. You have to visit this restaurant! Let me know what you think.
Not so Wordless Wednesday…
Twice baked palmetto cheese potato. It is Rachel Ray’s fault. I caught park of her TV show today and she was making twice baked potatoes. I was taking what I had in the fridge to create one and I thought of the palmetto cheese, which is pimento cheese with jalepenos. It might not look that great but it was delicious!
Wordless Wednesday
Meatless Monday
I have been trying to enjoy Meatless Mondays. It has transitioned into a lot of Meatless days…
For dinner tonight it was a veggie quesadilla. So I sautéed onions, garlic, portabello mushrooms and spinach, and the tortillas were these 
and here are the veggies…
and I added some cheese to bind it together. and it looked like this…
Was it delicious? Oh yes, yes it was! Enjoy!
Biscuits after the climb up Kennesaw Mountain…
My old next door neighbor, Catherine, and my new next door neighbor Josie and I went to climb Kennesaw Mountain. It was a very hot day,but, the climb is very shady. 
It is a good workout not too bad. Yes, I was tired afterwards, but it also felt great!
Now the great part, we went to Mountain Biscuits afterward. 
These were wonderful! 
Chicken Sausage and tomato Biscuit! 
Egg, tomato and jalepenos. 
Egg and Bacon Biscuit. These were super light and fluffy and really scrumptious!
After lunch Catherine went for a buggy ride. 
It was a great day!
