Update and Info On Friday Shoot-Outs

NEXT FRIDAY'S SUBJECT: Architecture in your town. The pretty, the old, the new, the crumbling, the wood, the brick, the renovated, the sadly falling........
We'd like to see the architecture in your town. Great choice pretty, talented Jen. I love in a very historic town so this should be a blast for me!! Patty @Crisfield Maryland picked Jen's name from a hat and next week I'm going to pick one out of a hat. We'll keep picking from participants until everyone has a turn picking the weekly subject. Then we'll start all over again. It is my hope that we never run out of names because there will be so many participants that everyone who joins will soon have a turn and then there will be more and more names to throw in the hat. How fun!!



Since a few of you were asking about how to "sign up", it's so easy you don't have to :) Just think....no forms to fill out, we don't need your social security number, you don't even have to give blood!! Myself and Patty subscribe to the K~I~S~S method: Keep It Simple Stupid........we've found that it works best that way. It would take all of the fun out of the whole project if people had to join this, join that, follow this rule, follow that rule, make sure they only post certain pictures. It's all about your interpretation of the weekly subject. That's what makes it so intriguing. One subject could have an entirely different meaning for anyone. Just simply take the subject and shoot it the way that you see it.....that's the fun of it all. And the gang part. I've always wanted to be in a gang and have a great big ole posse............

Simply post your snapshots next Friday and please make sure that your post title has
"FRIDAY SHOOT-OUT-then whatever the subject is".
For instance my post yesterday was 'FRIDAY SHOOT-OUT KIDS AND BEST FRIENDS'.

Then, if you wouldn't mind, please visit either :
GingerV @ http://gingersflowers.blogspot.com/
or Gordon @ http://fridayshootoutsfromflorida because they are kind enough to take the time to keep a running list of participants posted on their blog site. Tell them that you're going to participate and they will graciously add your name to the ever growing list. You can then visit all the participants blogs and be WOWED like I am every Friday.


Please join us and the first 2 t-shirts go to: Ann in Auckland for joining and Robyn in Alaska for joining. Welcome to our gang ladies and we can't wait to see you represent your towns can we Patty and all off the gang? Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!!!!
We're thrilled to have you on board.

Anyone else? Snooty Primadona, did you say that you were joining? By the way, you crack me up. Noe Noe Queen of All Trades, where ya been woman?

Join the fun and laughter. Be a gangster. See the world while sitting at your computer eating chips and drinking Bloody Mary's (okay, maybe I'm the only one who does that???)You'll be glad you did.........I promise........

Prince and I are about to leave to go to Alabama. He is a judge in a "Wild Game Cook-Off". That should be interesting. What are they cooking down there? Armadillo and opossums and such? I can't wait to see this but, truthfully it should be a blast. As long as I'm with my man, I'm a happy girl.

Hope everyone has an E~X~T~R~E~M~E weekend and..........

Surprise at Santa Fe Cattle Company!!!!

This is my daughter and me with the surprise!!!





This is a mural painted on the side of The Santa Fe Cattle Company that my daughter and I thought was hilarious. Redneck tea? May be good though it can't compare to Cousin Davy's sweet tea which is requested from as far away has Ohio.



I loved this old beat up truck that graced the entrance of The Santa Fe Cattle Company. Neither of us had been there before and the food, atmosphere and the company of my daughter was fantastic.



Yesterday afternoon, I went to Alabama to meet my daughter Miss Nan for lunch. You may remember Miss Nan from a couple of earlier blog posts. We were meeting half way between our house in Georgia and her house in Troy to have a nice lunch and just see each other for a few hours. This picture is the sign that greeted me when I crossed the State line into Alabama.




Then Miss Nan let me in on her little, or should I say BIG surprise. Her boyfriend of two years had given her an engagement ring the night before. It was a lovely and elegant ring. She practically glowed as she was telling the story of how her now fiance proposed. It was a really sweet story. I was a little shocked to say the least. I told her that if this is what makes her happy and she loves this man, then she has Prince's and my support. We will stand with her, beside her and watch her when she marries because she belongs to us. Today, our lunch tasted like love.

Anyway, this is all making me feel really old. Really old AND tired. All that I can think of right now is "I need to be sure to use extra moisturizer from now on" and "What the hell am I going to wear?". She says that they are going to be engaged for a little while before marrying which is a relief. I need a little time to absorb all of this for a little while. My youngest.....my baby girl, is getting married. I didn't cry though because cowgirls don't cry. Wait, I'm not a cowgirl I'm a smalltown city girl!!
