I'm worried about losing power so I'm going to go ahead and send this email out now.  I really hope everyone is safe tonight and that all of you will have power by the morning.  Feel free to share your storm stories by commenting on the website and/or email me photos that I can upload and share.

I hope you all get to spend some time with your Daddies this weekend.   I'm so thankful to have the most wonderful father in the universe...my Daddy is inspiring and all together awesome!   And I'm very lucky that my hubby is a great Dad too!  

Be sure to check out how you can win dinner for 2 at The Dunwoody Bistro.  The Aha! Style Editor and I had lunch there recently and it was delicious.   She had the Asian Chicken Salad and I had the shrimp salad special and both were YUMMY!

 

Storm Stories...share yours....I hope everyone is okay.

stormI was at Regal Hollywood theater in Chamblee with my family when the storm hit and didn't have my phone on.   I turned it on when I walked out of the theater and was amazed at the number of texts and voicemails I had received since 8 PM!

We rushed out of the theater to get home.   It was very eerie and dark once we hit Dunwoody.   Most of the traffic lights are out.   Georgetown Kroger shopping center is completely dark but by the time we reached Dunwoody High School and Vanderlyn we saw signs of power.   Only half of my neighborhood is without power but my guess is that most of Dunwoody is DARK tonight.   The news is showing huge trees down across Ashford-Dunwoody and reporting lots of Atlanta area power is out.

I know of a baseball team that had to huddle down in the Old Chamblee Middle School gym...neighbors in the far corners of their basement until the storm passed, friends stuck at Emory Hospital etc.   Everyone I've talked to is okay but HOT due to no power.  If you have access to the internet and want to share your storm story please do.   I just thought I'd offer a way to keep us connected during the aftermath of this scary storm.

 

Here's the link to a story from WSB Radio about the storm.

Drive with Caution: Geese Along Ashford Dunwoody

geese

Update from Audra:  I've opened the comments forum for this post in case you want to publicly share thoughts, comments, ideas, suggestions etc about this topic.  Or feel free to email Sara Ann directly....  

 

Original Post:

As many of you may have seen, there are several Geese at the lake around Brio who have had many babies. The other day I noticed where at least two of the babies had been run over on Ashford Dunwoody and it was very upsetting to see. Then as I was coming back the other way I saw a family of Geese walking across the street from Macaroni Grill toward Valley View. Thankfully everyone stopped to let them cross the street. I am asking that people be cautious when driving along Ashford Dunwoody, and slow down, especially near Brio. If anyone has an idea that might help keep the Geese from getting hit or somewhat contained around Brio that would be wonderful. I realize this is probably an impossible task, so please be aware of the Geese when driving along Ashford Dunwoody. Thank you!
