Start to plan by going to the Acworth tourism site. https://acworthtourism.org/things-to-do/

You can start your day by strolling down the main street and visiting the many stores which have antiques, books, jewelry, gifts, art, flowers, and food. Go into the coffee shop/bookstore on the main street for a treat. http://acworthbookstore.net/

Finding inspiration to write

I am often asked where I find my ideas to write, and what do I do when I have writer’s block. My problem is I never have writer’s block. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head that I write them all down and check each one off as I finish it. Writing for me is a lot like reading, I am constantly being distracted by something new, so I have a stack of books and ideas waiting for me. Ideas come to me constantly and in many different forms. They often come when I am running or driving because those are quiet moments when I can let my run free. Here are some ways that I would suggest for finding ideas.

What's for Thanksgiving Dinner?

Thanksgiving dinner involves a lot of questions. Where are we eating? Who is coming? Are we cooking? Are we eating out? What will the menu be?. Since Thanksgiving is a family affair, you might want to poll the family to answer the important questions. If you are cooking at home, ask if someone would like to help with meal preparation so that one person is not in charge of everything. Most people have a specialty that they would love to share. It is also fun to allow the children do some cooking as well. In my house, my son is coming early to prepare a ham, and my daughter is coming early so we can prepare a chocolate cake, and my youngest will make pies with my husband the night before. The family interaction makes the holiday so much more special.

The Stories Of Cobb County Cemeteries

As Halloween approaches, images of ghosts and cemeteries are everywhere, but cemeteries hold an allure for me that goes beyond a spooky holiday. I think cemeteries are beautiful. They are memorials to the people we have loved, and each cemetery holds so many stories. Each stone is more than a grave, it is a life and the connections made during that life. A cemetery can tell the history of a community and the individual families within that community. My favorite cemeteries are the older ones with poems or letters to the deceased. They are pieces of art.

What your knees need

Sometimes those moments that seem the hardest, end up teaching us the most. I am passionate about running but when I strained my knee, I thought my adventures with running might be over. This fear was only strengthened when my orthopedist kept telling me that running was not good for me. Obviously, he had no idea that running has been my therapy for anything that ails me for years. It is the reason that my blood pressure stays low and my spirits high.
