Ringing in a New Year with a new blog...

     With the start of a New Year, I welcome you to my newest adventure, The Uptown Acorn. Yes! It is my blog. I have officially entered the world of blogging.
     With the encouragement of my BFFs, Amanda and Melanie (A & M) of Atlanta, I have decided to chronicle my love of dining, cocktailing, shopping, enetertaining, and decorating in this City I so adore and in many others I love so much.
     My name is Ron. I am originally from Thibodaux, LA (about an hour SW of New Orleans). I have lived in Atlanta, GA and now for the past three years I call NOLA home.
     I love decorating. I love reading magazines (Garden & Gun, Southern Living, Coastal Living...). I love shopping (J. Crew, Hazelnut, Aux Belle Chose, Home & Garden, The Paris Market, Oysteria). I love gardening. I love throwing parties and entertaining. I love the beach (Grand Isle, Gulf Shores, Destin, Navarre Beach, Amelia Island, Tybee Island). I love cocktails (Ketel One Martini straight up, lil dirt, Scotch and Ginger Ale, Margaritas). I love restaurants (Mr. B's, Upperline, 700 Drayton, Georgia Grille, Taqueria del Sol, JCT, Commander's Palace).
     And of course, I love my partner of 13 years, Jeffrey(J). I also love my family and close friends.

     I hope you join me in this journey...

     Happy New Year!

     Cheers y'all!
