urban living

my childhood was spent living in the city...Atlanta..with all the beautiful southern charm, & sweet neighbors that became part of our extended family.. some of those sweet neighbors actually became part of our family.. love you carol & vickie...

isn't it amazing, when you take a walk down memory lane,  how much we realize we are the same (unchanged), how our personalities started developing at such a young age... I haven't changed very much at all... my likes and dislikes are  much the same... i suppose that is what our childhood is ...  a time of discovering those personal choices.

or maybe my childhood experiences and exposure helped to form my opinions... none the less.. it is fun to go back.. and revisit history.. and remember.. the place i still refer to as home...




i still envy urban life. we had the most amazing sidewalks. In all directions we could walk to our market, the schools, the theatres, the neighborhood drugstore not to mention my grandparents, aunts & uncles homes, everything &everyone was within walking distance. 



this is my childhoold home... isn't it beautiful? I love the colors, the mailbox on the front porch..the 6" molding throughout, the beautiful floors, and the sidewalk... gosh i love city sidewalks.


sidewalks and streets lined with painted houses... front porches.. city parks..
and the neighborhood coffee & smoothie shops...
and the urban art....
and all the beauty that comes from urban living....


I guess i will always be a city girl at heart... now living in the sub's my perfect afternoon is spent going back into the city for a day of city parks, sidewalks & sidewalk coffee shops and the streets filled with the creative energy of the people... we had a beautiful day!
till next time,
Sandy
