December 18 Shop.
The Blue Magnolia in Augusta, Georgia. This isn’t my all-time-favorite “stuff” shop, but it’s my favorite discovered this year. If I could afford / get away with it, I would do 100% of my gift-shopping at places like this. (Other favorites are “Helix” and “Frontier”, both in Athens.) My favorite finds at the Blue Magnolia: Matchstick Gardens and Fomato cards. (So funny!)
December 19 Car ride. What did you see? How did it smell? Did you eat anything as you drove there? Who were you with?

Abby and I took a road trip in August, first to Chicago to visit some friends of hers and to enjoy the city, and then to Ohio to visit her family. There were a lot of smells, really, between gasoline, Tennessee, and all of the food we took along (I remember a bag of spinach, Bulgur Wheat Salad, baby carrots, Vietnamese iced coffee, and several pounds of fresh cherries. Mmm! Abby and I always have fun together so I loved the drive as much as the destinations, I think.
amy, the picture….. must i say more.
except. that i thought of you and missed that trip we took yesterday while driving up here to ohio. and vietnamese iced coffee. mmmm indeed.
