Loading: Your Weekend Plans.......



I’ll be gone til ( an old Wyclef song)……well November is over and December has arrived so what are your plans this weekend? Need help? I figured, check out what I  found for you to do in the City of Atlanta this weekend!
Food

What about The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill….without any further explanation can you guess that type of food they sell? You guessed right, Seafood! What gave it away…… Big Ketch, Saltwater, or the deliciously stacked po'boy pictured above? 

Anyway if you’re down for some good ole' seafood, you have to try this place out. The owner of this spot also owns Tin Lizzys, my favorite cheap eats, Mexican restaurant...... as well as two other restaurants soon to open sometime next year, (I will be blogging about them too). It has a real laid back, comfortable, modern cabin like atmosphere. You can almost go here after an afternoon workout in your workout gear and be OK; well maybe not that laid back but no need to get extra fancy! I know, I know fried seafood after a workout is a counteractive approach but you get my drift. The menu is extensive with po’boys (duh), signature salads, fish and chips, shrimp and grits, soups, sandwiches, appetizers and so much more. For me the shrimp and crab dip on the appetizer menu screamed, BINGO and what’s a seafood meal w/out a side order of hush puppies? If you’re look for a big ketch, or just some delicious looking (I'm making plans to visit here this weekend as well) seafood, make plans to visit here this weekend!


 Fun & Adventurous
I’ve been following this young entrepreneur on social media for some time now and I am thoroughly impressed with her company and business ethic. She’s hosting a toy drive and pop up shop at her establishment, My Fair Sweets this Saturday from 12- 4pm. Bring a toy and receive a free gift, as well as an opportunity to network and other exciting chances to give back to your community.

How into The Arts are you? Well I found this really cool and neat event online, the 13th annual Winter Glass Fest. Basically this Saturday from 12-6 join Janke Glassbowling Studios for a glass bowling show, framework demos, live music, arts studio, and arts market. It’s FREE and something different. Check out the site below for more details!



Empowerment
Adopt-A-Senior for Christmas is in need of volunteers to make bags, deliver bags, or provide donations for seniors. What a wonderful way to give back to an often forgotten about community during the holiday season. If we’re fortunate enough we too will become a senior in need of some love and support during the holiday season.  Visit the website below, deadline to volunteer is this Saturday. Event takes place Sunday, December 15, 2013.



As always I am an advocate for fun and hard work but it all needs to be balanced with some quality time with the Father. I recommend Free Chapel, located in Gainesville, GA however they have a live stream you can enjoy from anywhere. If Free Chapel does not interest you, YouTube some sermons, visit your local church, or tune into a pastor on TV, just make sure you GET IT IN!
