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.........

Staying Young - Maybe It Will Work?

Worth the read and soooo self explanatory.......

I've kept this for a really long time under the title "Staying Young".

I hope that you will enjoy this as much as I do.



1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!


2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches;)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.


5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.


6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.


7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.



8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.



9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
