strawberries – Dreaming Reality

Well, it turned out to be a productive and fine #Free48 with some good food, a mini adventure, a new business prospect and even tequila shots! Rather than explain it all in boring narrative, why don’t I just share some photos with you? For details, hold your finger on the photo or tap for captions.

This building intrigues me. There is some amazing architecture in the city!

This is a cool old power control panel they left i side the Ponce Market. It used to be the Sears distribution center.

We managed to find a parking space after driving around in the garage for thirty minutes

I love the Atlanta skyline from any direction

This one is for you, Dan.

After driving around the parking garage for thirty minutes at Ponce City Market I was ready to throw in the towel when suddenly a spot opened up and we were in! Sadly, the market was so crowded that we headed right out to get onto the BeltLine…..buuuut….we couldn’t. There was a wine festival going on at the entrance and we didn’t want to attend. It was crazy. We went back inside the market to find a beer and maybe a bite of food but there was just so much chaos. We agreed to head home and grab something closer to our neck of the woods. The drive was very cool though, allowing me to get some more shots of the city. There is some fantastically original grafitti around Atlanta. These are just a couple of the random murals I saw during our drive.

We agreed on Zama Mexican, one of our favorite local spots and were both ready for a cold one and some food!

Triple emanadas with cilantro lime dressing and that soicy sauce were perfect for me!

Yeah, we had Heradura shots which were the evening’s special. Twice. 😏

I couldn’t let the evening go by without dessert. So I whipped up this brownie for two. Delish!

I loved this painting on the wall.

A chilly guava frozen margarita for me (only because the server misunderstood my ordering a margarita with a beer topper. This was so yummy though. Hubs had a Fos Equis.

I couldn’t resist giving a “tickle” to one of the restaurant’s door sentries. I liked his necklace!

I will someday write about my ~~nightmares~~ dreams last night but right now they are too fresh. No more Heradura shots for Cheryl. Have you ever been attacked by a spider riding a cricket!? 😱

Today hubby firmed up the details for our spot in the antique store. Now I am praying my jewelry is recieved well and that the things we put there wll sell. There is a festival coming up in two weeks. Wish me luck! I have been working pretty much non stop getting things ready.

What do you think of the collection? These aren’t all the best possible shots but you can get the idea what I will be presenting. And I am still working.

These are some of my favorites. I actually have a few of my own that I love wearing!

No two pieces are ever alike!

My son saupys this one is very Game of Thrones-ish

There’s a lot of hours opin there

And the cherry on top of it all? I made homemade strawberry ice cream. It turned out so delicious. But, sadly, there were only strawberries to go on top. 🙊And drizzled chocolate. And whipped cream! The best part about being the cook? I get to scrape the Cuisinart freezer bucket. What a preview.
