Coop looking forward to a great walk next to the Chattahoochie River….
There was a bit of a breeze this spectacular day. 
The ducks and geese were having a great time!
We walked a few miles. 
There is a ton of parking available on Azalea Drive. (If you leave the pup at home you can check out Chattahoochie Nature Center too!)
Southeastern Railway Museum
Hello Staycationers, this place is really amazing. I do not know why we are drawn to trains, but they are so cool. I was driving down Bufford Highway and noticed this sign, so I had to investigate, I am so glad I did. 
There are two warehouses with trains and taxis and firetrucks.
and you can go inside the trains too.
There is also a small train for kids to ride, how fun! 
Then there is the train depot. 
This is a real depot.
Oh and the 
Duluth Historical Society is based in the depot. If you like trains even if you do not care, you really need to check this place out! 
ThrowBack Thursday
My friend Walt and I went to north Georgia and did some trout fishing a super long time ago.
Twisted Soul Kitchen and Bar
Will and I found a great new restaurant. We started out with 1/2 price appetizers, the Shrimp and Crab Fritters were the BEST! 
Now 1/2 price on Tuesdays…
It is a very comfortable place and our waitress was great. My drink was outstanding, it was a take on a margarita made with White Lightning (yep, moonshine) it was called a Mountain Rita.
For the mains, I had the braised short rib lasagna with mushrooms goat cheese and tomato sauce. The goat cheese was great in this, it was so smooth and the tomato sauce was just perfect. It was an awesome comfort food, but it was even better today! Will had the fried chicken. I can honestly say, this is one of the best I have tried in Atlanta.
I got his leftover chicken. Oh here’s my entree. 
The pasta was so light and delicious.
I totally recommend this restaurant. Let me know what you think!

I have really been trying to do this for about a year. I love veggies. (Don’t get me wrong, I love me a steak once in awhile too!)
For lunch a slice of cheese pizza and a tossed salad.
It is a good size slice too.
Mo’s Pizza.
Then for dinner Boca Burger and a salad…
It is a good thing, and really not that hard to do.
My Garden!
I love tomatoes and there is nothing better than home grown tomatoes.
All of my plants have flowers, and a couple have tomatoes, yippee!
A couple squash plants and a few peppers. 
I have some oregano and basil (love fresh basil!).
Gardening can be so fun!
Life in the Hood….
