We want you....We want YOU!!

Wanna join a gang and run around shooting with us???? Then you're the person we're looking for for "Friday Shoot-Outs"!!

A really simple concept going here..........

Every week one of our gang members name is drawn from a hat by either I or Patty and they get to pick the weekly photo theme. No rules, no big critiques......we just want to see your town through your eyes. We have quite a few countries represented.....Brasil, Japan, the Philippines, Canada, China, Auckland, Australia and loads of states in the U.S.

Our gang does an awesome job every week and it's so much fun to see other people's town through their eyes and lens.

Simply hit me up with a comment and if you wouldn't mind comment to Cool Daddy-O Gordon @ Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida or the lovely GingerV @ flowers and more and they will gladly add you to our growing list. They are too sweet for keeping a running list for us.


Who knows..........you might get a cool gang T-Shirt with gang colors and get to throw gang signs while you're shooting your town up............


You might get to do a study on old barns...........


And you MIGHT make a few new awesome friends. I know I have!!

This week's subject chosen by the beautiful gigi @ afterthoughts is GARDENS. Flower gardens, veggie gardens, butterfly gardens, rock gardens, any interpretation you have of the subject.

What are you waiting for??????? We'll show you ours if you show us yours...................... :)

Part Of The "Big" House Makeover

We are remodeling the house we recently bought. We are mostly finished.....key word being mostly!

I have Wednesday Brown Bag Lunches today and am sooo busy. I'm serving either:

A) healthy low sodium subs on multi grain bread with baked chips, pickle spears apple slices and low-sugar cookies or.........

B)Organic mixed greens served with chopped free range chicken, wheat crackers, fresh apple slices and low-sugar cookies........

I have twice as many order's as last week and I'm really happy about that!!


I'm posting a few picture's of our makeover......

Our barn out back........we haven't even started on it yet. Prince is painting it red with white trim because he loves the barns in Amish country....




This is the blah dining room before we painted it. It was that lovely shiny blinding white. The kind that kept bleeding through so much that it took four coats of paint of cover it........




Prince and I stopped for a little photo after we finished this room and before we brought my Gran's antique dining room suite in. I love my old dining set. It's a solid mahogany table that seats 8 and the chairs still have the original covering on it....an old brown and goldish-beige pattern with ribbons running throughout. The chairs themselves are hand carved and very ornate. The set is date stamped 1942 and say that they were made in Tell City, Indiana. The old buffet is mahogany as well with old brass handles on the drawers and the inside of one is lined with old green felt for silver wear. When I open the old drawer's and cabinet's I can still smell my sweet Gran's house. I also have my great-grandmother's old ornate mirror that I hang over the buffet. I wouldn't take anything for this set and the memories that go with it........




I'll post more picture's of the before and after next week I hope. The house doesn't even look lie the same house that we started on. We love living out here in the country. We're close enough to the city to run into town for a quick bite of dinner and far enough out that when we sit by the pool on these last few warm evenings that we hear crickets chirping away by rubbing their legs together and frogs calling out to each other. We love our lives each and every day!!!

Tuesdays Touring Newnan....City Of Homes......

Well, it's Tuesday again. I live in a part of what is know as the Southern Arc. There are so many things that I love about our town. Rolling hills, quiets evenings on the deck, broom sedge glistening in the morning sun, knowing people when you walk down the street or through the supermarket but mostly I love getting a friendly wave from people I know and even some that I don't know.

Come take a little stroll with me through Newnan..........

This is a opossum that graces my hearth. Gypsy Sista gave me this opossum and I promised "Midlife Trucker's Wife" that I would post it today. She has one as well...she must have a Gypsy Sista too.




Birdbaths in a garden with white picket fences (this written while the tune "A Few Of My Favorite Things" rolls through my head and heart).




This is a beautiful house that I pass almost everyday. It sits up on a hill and always looks so very Southern to me.




Kids in my neighborhood riding a little homemade "sled" made of a cardboard box and riding the little hill by their house. They were more than happy to take a moment out of their kiddo business to strike a pose.




This is a beautiful red barn that I always admire when I pass by. Prince and I are going to paint our barn these colors. Of course, ours is not quite so big.....not by a long shot.




A house that I love with a white picket fence all the way around it off of Roscoe Road. Everytime I see this house I think "Happy people live here in this place".




Cows grazing through our little bit of snow that we got Sunday afternoon. It's all gone now, but it was lovely while it was here.




A little snowman that someone made on the side of the road complete with carrot nose and branchy arms. Sooo cute :)




After a long day, Prince and I went to one of our favorite Mexican resturant's La Fiesta. This is our favorite waiter Rene. We always have the Fajita Burrito dinner and its always deliciouso. We were so hungry and it was so good that we almost la licked the plates.



Come down to Newnan and see us some time. We'll serve you fresh smiles, sweet tea, friendly conversation in our little town. It's the best of both world's. City convenience and small town charm. This place is a hidden jewel where Prince and I can expect the unexpected, discover hidden jewels and still hear the train whistle in the near distance all the while knowing that we are home for good.
