Can Clayton lure new businesses?
A few new businesses are trickling into Clayton County. At a time when much of the attention is focusing on problems in the school system, it’s refreshing to learn new jobs are being created. Read my latest blog entry on Wordpress

July 4th on a budget
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
July 4 is one of my favorite holidays (actually, any paid day off from work is good for me!), but this year it kind of snuck up on me and I was slow in making plans.
At first, my husband and I considered doing a short road trip since the fourth falls on a Friday. Unfortunately my nonchalance coupled with outrageous gas prices have all but nixed that idea, although we are still searching for some kind of last minute deal. Luckily, there are plenty of July 4 activities going on at The Beach at Clayton County International Park if we decide to venture out that day.
For just $10.00 admission you can check out the Summer Series Car and Bike Show, enjoy live music throughout the day, participate in some holiday themed family fun and games, see an outdoor movie screening and of course, watch the fireworks. My husband wants to stay home now just to check out the car show since it’s happening so close to home.
Worst case scenario, we will barbeque somewhere and continue the tradition of watching fireworks from our deck. Not only do we enjoy gazing at the fireworks from the comfort of our home, but also want to make sure none of them hit our house! Maybe we’ll even take a dip in our community pool if the neighborhood kids don’t take it over completely.
Has the high price of gas forced changes to your family’s summer travel plans? What places in Clayton and/or Georgia would you recommend for those who want to get away for awhile without breaking the bank?
Have a safe and blessed Independence Day Clayton!
