Friday Shoot-Out Updates & A Request

Wow, I really had computer issues all day yesterday and then I needed to run see my daughter Miss Nan. If I didn't make it to your Friday Shoot-Out yesterday I apologize and will get there as soon as I can.

A little update for next week..............

My Ragdoll cat Sophie drew a name outta the Harley Davidson helmet...........


And came up with Cool Daddy-O Gordon who is sure to pick something exciting and fun for us to all shoot around. He's also a gem of a guy who will post the subject over at his place "Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida". Gordon also keeps an updated running list of participant's.

I'm stoked by the fact that Patty and I started with just ourselves some months back and this list has grown so much. There are also quite a few other's who have expressed interest in participating. I shamelessly beg you to jump right in and come out shootin!!. Hit any of us with a comment just so we know to add you to the list so that other members can see your shots. Then simply post "Friday Shoot-Out" in your title post so that we can see it on our blog roll and dashboards. I've met some amazing people doing this project and am sure to meet more great people. And as if that's not enough, we all have a great time every week shootin and postin.......


I would like to ask all my "Prayer Warrior" friends to keep by darling baby girl in your prayer's right now. Please lift her name up if you don't mind :) I will post more about that later................


I'm off to do a Wellness Fair at Wesley Woods Retirement Community in Newnan today. I'm doing my best to promote healthy eating habit and the virtues of organic foods. I'm also doing a demonstration on planting an organic patio tomato that the resident's can nurture and grow to fresh tomatoes at their back door. I'll be giving the tomato plants away as I pot them. I already know that I will have a wonderful time.

I demand that everyone have an fabulous weekend full of love, joy, laughter and blessings........

Inside Out BLT'S and Having Babies

*****Please click on "The Daily Puppy"......pretty please?******


Summer time means lots of things but good vine ripe tomatoes is one of my favorites. Nothing says summer like a good Blt right? I made some inside out BLT's and they were so awesome that I have to share the recipe with you. Your family will love them and they are a great quick meal. Just add a little salad and voila...a delicious lunch or dinner.


All you need are tomatoes, french bread, shredded Romaine lettuce, as much cooked bacon as you like, shredded sharp cheddar and a little mayo. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the inside. Then cube the french bread and mix it with the other ingredients...........


After mixing the ingredients together, stuff the tomatoes and cover more cheese. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes until tomatoes get hot all they way through........


Serve and have a taste treat. It's much lower in calories because you can control the amount of bread that you use or of course, you can used any type of light or reduced fat bread..........Deliriously Delicious!!!!!............


This is my cousin Spanky asleep after our last family meal. There seems to be some pattern going with the men in my family having a huge meal and then falling asleep on the sofa. Wonder what that's all about???????.........


During Spring break I had a few of the kiddos from the bus ministry over for a tea party. We had a great time. These kids are awesome.......



And now to the "Having Babies" part. Miss Nan our daughter has just announced that she is carrying our first grandchild!! We are elated and can't wait to spoil it and send it home. I wonder what they will name it??? I wonder what in the world I'm going to wear for the baby shower and far more importantly to the hospital for the birth??? I certainly don't want Grand-kiddo's first memory of me to be looking like I just rolled out of the bed. I suppose I'll just have to purchase something new for the occasion...........drat, what a drag. Prince will be thrilled to hear that I must have a new birthing wardrobe..............okay, I feel old.

Daughter Visits, Lunches and Grand Dogs

******PLEASE click on "The Daily Puppy".......Please?********

My daughter Miss Nan came to see me!!!!! YAY, we had the best time, but then....we always do. She brought my Grand Dog the beautiful Malibu to see me and to play with her cuz dogs. Not too much fighting and vying for attention but.....a few little very minor "Alpha Dog" run-in's. Nothing serious though. Her bird, my grand-bird Sculley who lives with Prince and I for a while was so happy to see her. He started going crazy as soon as her heard her voice!! He loves my kiddo......but not nearly as much as I do. He's just staying with Grandma Gigi for awhile.
I love my Grand-Dog and excited to see her as well. Wow, did she look great.

Lunches this week are listed below. What a great time I had taking my daughter around with me to meet everyone. She is my sunshine........



My catered lunches this week, ready to go.......


Bacon, lettuce and tomato salad with my own special BLT salad dressing, cabbage and apple slaw, wheat thins, 1/2 an apple, a Splenda mint and low fat, low sugar gingerbread men with Splenda sweetened white chocolate on the backside........


Scully our Quaker Parrot. He talks up a storm. He's been so grouchy lately because he's molting....


Cousin 4 holding Sculley for the first time.....awww........


Sculley kissing his Mom my kiddo. Did I mention how happy I was to see her? I talk to her every day, but seeing her is so special.......


My beautiful Grand Dog Malibu. Look how shiney her coat is. She was so good but then again, she always is (after a wee little marking of territory....get it...."wee"....never mind.....)


Again, beautiful Malibu. I swear, she is America's next top doggie model right??? Fierce......



My darling girl had to go back home today. I miss her already and can't wait to see her again. We talked about 4 times while she was making her 2 1/2 hour journey and that still wasn't enough. That's my kiddo you know????? My heart.....my joy.....

Tuesdays Touring Newnan, City Of Homes

******PLEASE remember to click on the DAILY PUPPY******

Welcome to Newnan, Georgia....City of Homes! Did you know that the entire South is larger than Europe and as diverse....a conglomeration of distinctly differing regions? Big towns, in between size towns and small towns. I love them all.

I especially love my town of Newnan, Georgia where the sweet-smeling aroma of vines, magnolia's and gardenia's fill the air and petals of these flowers float in bowls on dinner tables. We put up tomatoes for tomatoe relish that we pick from around tangles of zucchini vines and wild onions grow on tall stalks.

If you live in Newnan it is part of your soul. It becomes a part of you that you can't change......you wouldn't want to.......


Spring flower's outside Murphy's Florist........


On LaGrange Street, Luke Headley Investments, Brooks and Lucy's.......


The bell ourside the Male Academy Museum..........


M Nicole Designs, where everything is unique and so cute. I often pick up gifts in this shop..........


Hit the Trail hiking gear. If you need something for your outdoor adventure you can be sure that they've got it.........


A mural painted on a brick wall in town..........


Heritage Quilts and Fabric...such beautiful bolts of fabric fill this shop from floor to ceiling. A quilter's delight........


An upclose snap I took of a beautiful handmade quilt hanging on the wall in Heritage Quilts and Fabric. Notice the fresh cut flowers. A lady who works there told me that she had cut them out of her front yard yesterday morning.......


Our historic Hersh Building.........


This is our Historic courthouse on Court Square in downtown Newnan being restored. During the Civil War this was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers......


An up close snap of the top of the courthouse. The top is being re-coppered. I love to be uptown when that big clock strikes the hour chimes.......


A produce stand on the side of the road off of Highway 16. Mr Vernon, that's him peeking out beside his truck door, sells these goodies out of the back of his red pick up truck. I've never gotten anything there that wasn't delicious.........


This is one of my favorite houses in town. I drive by this house all of the time and am always struck by the beauty of it's stained glass windows and charm.....


Thanks for having a little stroll through my town with me. Perhaps you'd like to come visit (Bagman?????). Market Day's have started on the square in downtown Newnan. Local vendor's line the courthouse square with all kinds of wares.....homemade jewelry, pottery, art work, confections, sweet kettle corn. Mainstreet Newnan sponsor's Market Days the first Saturday of every month. Prince and I love to go walk about and see what treasure's we can find. We always bump into an old friend or two and stop for a chat amidst friendly faces. Come see us in Newnan..............you won't want to leave.
