She is growing up so fast!!!

If you can find another one like this in downtown Alpharetta, you will know how I got this. It was gifted by the manager of that place. Hint: I often write about their incredible staff there!!

It is an intriguing drawing of the Alpharetta/Milton area. It is not drawn to scale or even to a map. But you will find most all the old establishments, shops, roads, restaurants etc in this picture.

I always marvel that every time I study the picture, I find yet another familiar place.

This was created by an artist called Sharon L Beamish (if I am reading the handwriting correctly).

Remember the mosaic we got from that place in Jordan where the artists are all physically challenged? Well, four months later it is finally up on the wall. Needed a lot of thought and ideation from Sharmila. That thing is very very heavy. Looks like finally she was able to put a few accoutrements together and the handyman fixed it up!

The two daughters teamed up to make some “luchis” for Christmas lunch!

For the uninitiated, luchi is a Bengali-style puffed bread made from flour. Of course, it is never “Bengali-style” unless it is deep fried 🙂
