Along the way, like a patchwork quilt and compliment

- The largest percentage of my time at the printing company these days is spent on the customer service function, but I do have a few printing clients still.  This week one of them wanted to see me, so off I went.  It was a 20 mile or so drive into a largely industrial area of Southwest Atlanta.  Along the way, I spotted something colorful through the trees, in a park I hadn't noticed before, and vowed to stop by on my return trip.

 - I drove up into the park on the way back and found this color mural, which resembles a patchwork quilt, I think.  There isn't much about English Park on the internet, but I did find a rap video was filmed there at what looks like a family picnic.  And I saw people walking on the trail.  It reminded me of when I used to do only account management and the part of the job I enjoyed most:  getting out and about.

- Because I always laugh at his jokes, a coworker says:  "Lynn your humor is as twisted as mine."  "Thank you!" I replied.  :)

And a flashback to another job - having a wonderful dinner last night with friend Leisa at a Lebanese restaurant and  remembering the law firm I used to work for handled some work for this family.  Life can be a full circle sometimes.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

It would thrill me to see that mural. Here in Los Angeles I am seeing lots of gorgeous artwork -- glimpsed through speeding mass traffic!!

Love that quilt.
And my sense of humour definitely makes me a 'twisted sista'. Have a great weekend.

Hi Lynn - what an amazing art-print - I just love it .. and there must be more history behind it.

It always amazes me how we can get tied into things .. love your connective snippets ...

Now the Lebanese restaurant has my taste buds tingling .. cheers Hilary

An very good friend of long-standing and I had a lengthy phone conversation last night, mingled with lots of laughter (more laughter at times than chat) and we said almost the same thing about "life life can be a full circle sometimes."

Amongst other things, our hysterical laughter made us realise we were still doing what we used to do together a children...when our uncontrollable laughing would take over and we'd end up in stitches. And there we were last night about a hundred years later still doing the same thing...life most certainly does go around in a circle. :)

You talk about six degrees of separation...in Portland, there are, like, two. That is a neat mural - the colors are so vibrant and happy.

Lebanese...I'll have to put that on my bucket list. Some kind of Mediterranean fare, I would think?

I love a twisted sense of humour. I am very careful who I share my thoughts with. I think what goes through my head would shock some people.

That is a great mural.

Somehow I can't imagine you with a twisted sense of humour! :D A sense of humour yes, but twisted?
