Big Hands, Little Feet........

Please click on "The Daily Puppy" :)



An exerpt from "Grandma's Hands".......

"Have you ever looked at your hands," she asked. "I mean really
looked at your hands?"

"Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have
served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled
shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to
reach out and grab and embrace life."

"They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the
rest of my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried
and raw. And to this day when not much of anything else of me works
real well these hands hold me up, lay me down, and again continue to
fold in prayer"............... ~~~Author Unknown


"Two little feet, ten little toes,
Leave their impression today.
Soon they will wear two little shoes,
And be running and jumping at play".

Tuesdays In Newnan - City Of Homes

I love to spotlight my beautiful hometown of Newnan, Georgia on Tuesdays. Newnan is such a friendly place bursting with energy and happy people. We are not a big town, but are growing every year by leaps and bounds and yet we maintain that small town charm and appeal.

We have Market Days on our Court Square the first Saturday of each month where local artists and vendor's place their goods out. Prince and I love to take a little stroll around town on those days, take our time and enjoy the good life. Main Street Newnan's own Linda Kee-Bridges has so graciously given The Newnan-Coweta Humane Society a free space for next month and I can't wait to take pictures and blog about that. We hope that we can adopt out many pets that weekend to good and loving homes.

A few highlights of my special Southern town Newnan, Georgia.........


This is Sargent Baptist Church where Prince and I worship and serve. We love our church and the people in our church have amazing hearts........


Sunday on Mother's Day we had a Baby Dedication and this is our Pastor, Stacy Stafford, blessing these sweet young ones. They are our future and our church loves and nutures them ..........


These darling young girls were playing at the Recreation Center here in Newnan last night........


I would like to bring Wesley Woods to the forefront today. Wesley Woods is Coweta County's only Continuing Care Retirement Community. It is gracious Retirement Living at it's finest.


As I went in for a meeting with a friend, this beautiful gazebo greeted me. I can just see ladies sitting out here in the evenings sharing memorie's of life, love and family........


I love this covered arbor surrounded by flowers and this is a place that I would love to sit and talk with friends while watching a beautiful Georgia sunset........


Wesley Woods has an amazing gift shop and I ran into these young ladies who are so sweet and gracious. Please meet Ms. Margaret Jones, Ms. Margaret Cox and Ms. Patisue Jackson. Everytime I see them they always have those glowing smiles on their faces.............


These ladies are fabulous. This is Adrienne Lameray and Kathy McAlpin. Kathy is a super nice lady that I already knew a bit but ran into again recently. She asked me to participate in a Wellness Fair at Wesley Woods this Saturday and I'm excited about being asked and can't wait!! I'm going to be doing a demonstation on growing an organic patio tomato and handing out samples of a delectible organic cucumber tomato salad made with fresh Rosemary grown in my own organic garden. This refreshing salad is an often requested item in my catering business.......


Then I came to perhaps my favorite part of the tour. I ran into Mr. Tom Wear and Ms. Carolyn Felloes doing a soundcheck for an upcoming party and cutting a little rug to some big band music. Isn't this just heartwarming and precious??......


Come on down to Newnan to visit. Prince and I will give you the grand tour and we'll all have a big glass of sweet tea under a big oak tree with Spanish Moss. Perhaps we'll all put on a little music and have a dance of our own under a blanket of bright stars on a clear Georgia night.......

WOW.........it's already Monday again!! I had a fabulous week last week...well, actually I have a fabulous week every week I think.........

A few things that made me smile last week......maybe they will make you smile as well........Please click on the "Daily Puppy". Doing so will help build a Spay and Neuter Clinic In Newnan and hopefully a No-Kill Shelter soon we hope.........


The moon was red one night...........is that a Bad Moon Rising????.......


A beautiful sunset on a beautiful night in Georgia at a baseball game. How does that poem go Gordon......."Red Sky at Night......"??..........


I got this awesome 3-D magnet and shot glass from Rockin Robyn my pal in Alaska. Hey, if you want to see some fantastic shots of Alaska and meet an awesome lady visit Robin @analaskanfamily.blogspot.com. She's precious................


My etsy hand embroidered tea towel that I bought last week. The statement just caught my eye and I had to have it...........


I spied this sweet baby peeking over her Mom's shoulder..........


An ice cream truck came by Cousin Four's ball game last week and Prince had to have a Chocolate Eclair ice cream...........


I got this autographed 8x10 of GingerV's trainer Edgar.........dude, if I were 10 (okay maybe 20) years younger and lived in Brasil. Yowza.........


I'm ready to hit it full speed again this week and rock it out all week long.

Blessings for your Monday and MAKE it a good week. It's a decision you won't regret :)

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.........

"Friday Shoot-Out Update And Stuff

Crazy awesome week around here!!!! Loved every minute of it though.....

I posted science girl's assignment for the coming week's Friday Shoot-Out at the bottom of this post so be sure to check it out if you wanna shoot someone or something.........

I saw this sign and couldn't resist.......while I would NEVER actually utter these words I will hold up a sign that speaks for me............Hey, if you've ever had an ex-anything you totally get this :)


I wish that I had more of Emily's chocolate jelly, which is actually like a thick chocolate sauce to have with a few apple slices. My favorite flavors are the ones with orange and raspberry essence in them...........


Cousin Four and the Cuz Cashe's were so bored the other night that they resorted to this......It was kind of like a cling wrap concert because they were humming into it and then popping it. I can't answer any questions on this one because I totally don't get it but whatever I suppose. Kids!!!! Go figure........



Assignment for May 15 as written by our new friend and shooter Science Girl in France. Sounds like a challenge and I'm up for it. This won't be as difficult as it sounds so let's everyone get creative. We are all blessed with ingenuity in the gang so lets tackle this one with vigor!!!!!..........

Science Girl said..........
"As a diehard believer in public transportation, I'd like to see how you get around your town without a car. Bus, Bike, Hike, whatever it is, let us see!
And if you've never gone without a car in your life, give it a test..."
As for public transport being rare in a lot of places, I think that's something to talk about. And while public transport might figure largely in next week's Friday posts, whatever you do without a car is fair game"


I'm working in my veggie and flower garden all day today then having a cook-out. Perhaps a little wine and music by the pool and a nice long slow dance with Prince to little Al Greene or something like that........

Hope everyone has a Day filled with love, joy and laughter and............
