I landed in the word's busiest airport, Hartsfield International, at 5:00am on Sunday morning. I got my rental car, tossed in two large suitcases and headed 30 minutes North. The reason for this visit? To get our rental house ready for sale. I found the house key frozen to the underside of the white rock just where my tenant said it would be and went in. Thankfully the place was clean so I unpacked, blew up the mattress, unloaded the few tools I brought and headed for Goodwill. I was on the hunt for sheets, blankets, and a few kitchen supplies. Mission accomplished, then it was off to Target for a pillow. Now I was ready to set up camp at the house and get to work. I was up at dawn and asleep late everyday that week. My only daily distractions were trips to the Dekalb Farmers Market for meals and Home Depot for supplies. This wasn't a vacation but I did get to connect with a couple of friends and visit a few of my favorite places in town.
What you need to know about Clarkston is that the Federal government has been settling refugees there since the Vietnam War. If there was unrest somewhere in the world, soon after we would see refugees from those areas. The world is in Clarkston! We enjoyed the diversity and leaving was hard but necessary. We grew up on the East coast, Lived in the deep South and are now in the West. Three very distinct areas of this vast country. Our philosophy has always been, find the uniqueness of a places and make it better for being there!
