Winter time in 30310

It has been a whole season since I have been able to blog. Life has been hectic but things in Westview have been lovely. We have seen the holidays, snow, and two new additions my brother and his dog Doughnut. My brother doesn't know that I am just letting him stay because of our love of his cutie doggie.
We haven't done much around the house, but my head is swarming with ideas. What room to do first! Right now we are talking about a fence and finishing the mudroom. Either would be great, I just need to do something. I guess I have cabin fever .
Let's see if there have been an neighborhood updates.

1. I see more and more homes foreclosing and it is travesty. Housing is a basic human right and folks are losing everything, and I fear the face of this great neighborhood will change as well.
2. The recession has been in affect for a while for us Black folks and it ain't going to get better anytime soon.
3. Oh yeah, Mel and I are the official chair and co-chair of It's Our Neighborhood!
4. We are going to get street toppers for our neighborhood!! I am totally stoked. After street toppers, we will have t-shirts and flags!!!!
5. The leaves finally fell! We can now say the trees are clean

Its been pretty low key but I am feeling adventurous, at least in my thoughts. The next couple of weeks should prove exciting and full of more tales!
