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........

A Letter My Kiddos And My Mom

My darlings,

I can't believe that another year has passed and it is already Mother's Day again. It seems just like last week that you were running around like banshees and I was taxi-ing you to baseball, Kung-Fu, ballet, birthday parties, band practice and summer camps.

You took a nap and woke up grown and I can't believe it at all. Now Miss Nan is going to make us grandparent's soon and we are excited beyond belief........new life in our family that will be cherished and adored.

I long for you every single day even though you are a phone call away.......


Mr. J. You loved to wear my sunglasses and broke at least a hundred pairs. I just bought more.........


This is one of my very favorite pictures in the world taken about 20 years ago. We were all so young and happy...........


Dearest Mom, this year will mark 33 years since you've been with our family here on earth. I remember when we would get together like this at your Mom's, our Gran's, when we were little kiddos. We were loud, boisterious, wild and somewhat destructive as a group and you laughed it off..........most of the time. I often wonder what you would think of me today as a grown woman.........

I always like to imagine that you and Dad are dancing to Glen Miller or Tommy Dorsey on a cloud still watching over us and probably still having a laugh. I hope you know that your grand kiddo's would adore you and I know how excited you would be that we are going to have a little one running around soon. Please watch over out little one from up above as only a great-grandmother can do. And please.........help me with all of this because I have no idea what is in store for me other than great joy and much laughter................



Happy Mother's Day to all my blog Mom's. May your day be filled with love, joy and laughter. Prince and I are going to worship together this morning and then have Auntie Mom and Cousin Sis and the family over for a barbeque today. Maybe play horseshoes and love being together as family.........

Saturday In The Park With EllieBee...............

We took our little 3 pound Chihuahua for a little early morning walk and passed a cemetery this morning. Ellie Bee Ribs-Hughes was a puppy mill girl who we got when she was 7 weeks old. She could fit into my pocket when I picked her up that day. She is a lovely girl......though maybe a lil spoiled? She won't allow any of the other pups to come near her and she tells them what to do!! Funny thing is, they all do it, lol. Prince calls her Her Majesty the Queen of the Sofa because she won't let Roxie, Sadie or Gus near her sofa.


****(Okay.....when I viewed my post I have the descriptions of the post all discombobulated......sorry. I'm too sleep to correct it right now, lol)****

Look how sweet she looks peeking out of her little blankie this morning. That's her security sock there with her. She can't face the day or the nightime withut it!! She didn't really want to get up but finally decided to go with us. Look at that darlin face........




While walking, we saw this sign regarding flower removal in the cemetery. Seeing as how today is March 21, I guess their a little bit behind.......




For all of my friends that have been asking, I'm feeling a little better this morning. I'm still running a little bit of fever and my cheek is quite bruised where the surgeon pulled on it. I refuse to let any of this get me down!! I am going to take my low-dose chemo and never miss a beat!! I feel so blessed because I feel like it could have been so much worse. Every day you hear of much worse.
I am one hundred percent confident in my doctor and the prayers and good wishes that I have received from my bloggy friends and my wonderful family. Prince, of course, has been a true Prince through all of this. Every day I feel like I'm living an enchanted life. I wouldn't trade my life for anyone elses in the whole world!!

Hope every one's weekend is filled with much love, joy and LAUGHTER!!

Wednesday Brown Bag Lunches and Such

From now on my my house, Wednesday's will be know as "Brown Bag Lunch Day". The catering side of our little organic endeavor will be packing and delivering a nice, healthy, organic and delicious brown bag lunch to the kind folks that will order. Cooking for a crowd I can handle and I love to be creative with food. Seems, I'm not so hot at cooking for two. I just can't seem to get that right. I always make enough food for an army. So much that as a matter of fact, we can't face all of the leftovers. Anyway, that just gives us an excuse to practice one of our favorite hobbies...........dining out!!

The menu will be such as: Succulent Chicken Corn/Potato Chowder with Fresh Rosemary served with Sour Cream and Cheese Corn Muffins and Organic Low Sugar Cookies from Italy. I'm excited about the new branch of our little enterprise and I hope that it goes over well. Who says a brown bag lunch has to be boring? Not I.....


I saw this lovely willow tree while I was out and about running errands yesterday. I thought it was really pretty and upon close inspection, it is beginning to have a few small green buds trying to peek out and come to life. It's ready for Spring and so am I.





I couldn't not notice this charming little sigh. Propped up against the bike is the "Got Steak?" sign in front of Lenny's Pub at the intersection of Highway 29 and Roscoe Road. You can sing a little Karaoke, have a nice brew and apparently a nice big steak. Hmmm......Prince and I may have to mosey on in there one night for steak night.





Firefighter friend brought his new rescue pup, Gus, over for a little play date with little Sadie. They played and played until they both collapsed on the floor out like two little babies that had been playing out in the sun all day. Little Gus was even snoring which was just precious. Sadie slept all night long and didn't even seem to move. She's such a darling girl......all puppy.
