Last weekend was so WONDERFUL! We took Bear to two different parks...one near Roswell and one near Marietta. And...we went to the antique festival in Marietta on Saturday...then on to get a snack from Chik-fil-A - my craving du jour - and then on to the park near Roswell. On Sunday morning... we tried to find a church. And I found myself getting up and finally leaving in disgust. It makes me shake with rage to hear God's Word distorted and twisted to back up self-interested ideas. I think that it finally became too much when the altar call became a call to membership to the church. Some churches should read what happened to David when he counted the fighting men-not that I think that it is wrong for churches to count attendance...I wouldn't do it personally, but...to make an increase in numbers the primary focus and goal of the church. Come on...

After our church experience...we decided to go to Madeliene's. So YUMMY! We even splurged and ate a fruit tart...only a little Bear decided that he wanted all of the blueberries from it. So, we headed over to the park in East Cobb. I was really surprised to find that it was such a nice park! And there were actually other parents who were actively watching their children! Can you believe it?! My son found an admirer in an adorable 17 month old little girl - who shocked even him with a huge bear hug. When he wouldn't return her advances, she toddled off with her father chasing behind her. Of course, bear went the other way with his Daddy behind him...leaving the moms to chat. Her parents were really nice and we decided to set up a playdate some time. And to top it off, the weather was so beautiful and cool. I love fall.

So...that is just a little update for anyone who cares...And now I am off to clean up and bemoan my fate as a prisoner of this tiny space on such a beautiful day. Woe is me...
