Hope you're enjoying the long holiday weekend. It's been an athletic-themed time in the Sidewalk Chalk household -- when Jeremiah and I haven't been hosting friends for UGA's kickoff to the season, the tv's been on for other college football games. I'm not much of a sports fan -- while I understand the rules of the game, I can't muster up the enthusiasm to keep up with it. Still, there's this amazing sense of camaraderie, socializing and good food that comes along with gathering around for a game, and that I can get excited about.

Anyways, Jeremiah had the weekend off, so Sunday we explored one of the older neighborhoods on our side of town. Some of the houses are older and dilapidated --- crumbling foundations, broken windows, rusty walls, etc. and I just wanted to get a bit closer to see some of them. We only got to snap a couple before my camera started to act a little wonky and we left. Oh well, I still like how the photos turned out -- a bit dark and haunting. The first two photos are in the front yard of one of the houses.

This is one of my favorite dresses. It was the dress I wore to my wedding -- well, it was the one I changed into after the reception, the one I wore when we said our goodbyes and got into the car to head to the airport. I've attempted to dress it down before --- see here, here, here -- and this was another one of those attempts. I need to keep bringing out the nice stuff in my closet and have them come out to play more often. I'm definitely going to wear this after Labor Day!
