Friday Shoot-Out - Paint It Red!!

Gordon over at Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida got to pick this weeks subject and he chose "Paint The Town Red". I had a great time shooting this one and I only "almost" caused about 2 wrecks this week slamming on the breaks for shots. That's a record for me....I usually "almost" cause a few more. For some reason Prince won't ride with me much these days. I don't get it.......

Please be sure to drop by one of our newcomer's, the darling Debby at "The Pink Birdhouse" from Germany. She's an awesome gal........

I hope everyone has an E~X~T~R~E~M~E Memorial Day weekend.......


So........RED it is my friend Gordon........


A cover I saw where gasoline is stored........


A pretty red tiled roof..........


My girlfriends daughter's little toes painted red.......


I really liked this crack in the facade of an old barn. Reminded me that life's not always perfect..........


Sweet crisp red apples............


An old weathered barn with a tin roof that I spied..........


A paper box on town square.............


I saw this paint peeling outside an old horse stall..........


I loved this red dune buggy...........


A red drain pipe that I saw on a red brick building.............


I saw this old red dog house but I didn't see any signs of a pup living there.......


Red Salvia in the park............


An old red brick wall leading to a garden with an old green door...........


An old grate in a red brick wall............


A red clothes drop box.............


Of course I had to throw in a token red fire hydrant :)................


I loved this splash of red flowers beside this old park bench that has loads of character..........


This is my little buddy Levi!! If you knew Levi, this t-shirt is so right on the money. He is a darlin child who never fails to make me laugh (and yes, that is cupcake frosting all over his mouth, lol).........


I spied these red Geraniums peeking from behind a porch...........


My favorite place to shop in town Arnall's Grocery. I buy all my seeds and garden supplies here. I used to come to this very same store with my grandmother to buy seeds for her garden.............


This is my very favorite. I spotted these young dudes with red shirts on their way to drop a line in the creek as they put it. Mike, Lucas, AJ and Jesse happily posed for a snapshot and told me about their day. What nice young men.........



******"The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek"*******


Wishing you and yours a weekend filled with much love, joy and laughter my friends.

Painting The Town Red For Friday

Cool Daddy-O Gordon over at fridayshootoutsfromfloriday.blogspot.com got to pick our assignment this week. This one is going to be a blast.

Anything RED. Heck, you might even find a redneck to shoot........the possibilities with the one are infinate almost. Great choice Gordon my friend!!!



Thank you so very much for all of your prayer's for my daughter. I can't tell you how priceless it is to have such kind friends who are so supportive. She did lose her baby and is of course inconsolable. I love her so very much......with everything in me and it is tearing me apart to see her like this.

When baby hurts..............Mom hurts. She is my heart.

Tuesdays Around My Hometown Newnan, Georgia

My darling Prince had to have a little Carpal Tunnel surgery yesterday so I have to give a shout-out to the fine folks at Georgia Bone and Joint this week. As you all know, I think Newnan is the greatest spot on Earth to live!! Even the doctors and nurses in my town are good ole Southern people who care for you like you are famly and not just another patient. Our friend and doctor, Dr. Jack Powell and his staff are some of the most caring people we know and of course they treated Prince like....well, a Prince.

A few things happening in Newnan of late.........

Ms. Kathy McAlpin of Wesley Woods. She's the organizer extrordinaire who made everything happen and go off without a hitch Saturday at the Wesley Woods Wellness Fair..........


This is Ms. Carol of Juice Plus who made a "smoothie of the hour" in Woody's Bistro where I was set up. She had the freshest fruit and veggies along with her supplements.........


This is one of my favorite pleaces, the gift shop and pharmacy in the Summit Healthplex..........


I posted this one for Chef E because she liked the other etsy tea towel I bought there a couple of weeks back. Boy that Elizabeth is so darned talented that I think there's nothing she can't do.....cook, write poetry, inspiring phtography and stories. Check her out over at Food - Wine - Fun. You sure will be glad you dropped by to see her. (I love this shop because they have the most unique gifts. I can never resist buying something every time I go in)...............


Our wonderful One Roof Outreach in Newnan. This is a place where blessings happen daily................


My gal Allison Wallace who runs one roof and a couple of her volunteers in the food pantry. Allison goes the extra mile to make sure that the needs of people in our community are met. She and her husband Kevin also have a music ministry and she has the voice of an angel..........


One Roof volunteers bagging groceries to take out to families in need.........


Just outside the Summit Healthplex on our way in..............


This is my darlin Prince before his "happy" shot. Actually, my hunnyman is always happy and smiling. He was singing for the nurses in the hall on the way down to surgery. He was singing some country song in his very British accent which of course cracked the nurses up........


Prince with his OR nurse sweet Carol. Okay this one is AFTER his lil shot which may explain the extra happy look on his face...........


I met this super nice lady Darcy out in the waiting room as she was knitting. We struck up a conversation and she told me about her lovely grandchildren. What a joy she was to meet..........


I ran into Mr. Austin and his 71 Checy project car this week. He was on his way to take her to have her painted dark green with a white racing stripe. Now that's gonna look sweet.........


Along my way home, I kept passing this lil guy out in the pasture at the Double H Ranch and finally stopped for a shot...........


The owner came over and told me that he's a miniature horse named Shadow. He told me to call him over to the fence, so of course I couldn't resist. Shadow came running over for a little petting and an apple. What a sweet boy he was. Now I stop by all of the time and call him to the fence for a little treat. How cute is this guy??? Oh my, I just love him...........



Come one down to Newnan for a little visit. I'll take you over to One Roof and we'll bag a few groceries and clothes together while Allison entertains us with a song and her hilarious British humor. Or maybe we'll find Ms. Darcy or Austin and his project car. One thing for sure......you'll meet some of the nicest home folks in the world and they'll great you with a big smile and a hug.


Have a joyful day and.........

Things That Made Me Smile Last Week

Please click on "The Daily Puppy"!! Proceeds will go to help build a new spay and neuter clinic in Newnan. Having a spay-neuter clinic will help the community and the animals so there's not so many litters born that can't find homes. It is a cause near to my heart..........

A few things that made me smile this week...........

Our new friend Christian applauding himself after blowing out the candles on his birthday cheesecake. Christian was a tugboat captain and played a big part in the building of The Panama Canal. What an interesting man he is, and that's his beautiful wife Michelle there with him. She hand makes stunning jewelry out of semiprecious stones and rocks.


In the forefront here, is another new friend Andreas and his pup Buddy. Andreas is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Auburn. He cooked a wonderful meal of smoked chicken, beef and pork short ribs, grilled fresh veggies and a smoked cabbage fresh from his garden that was out of this world. Another very interesting new friend who I can't wait to get to know better. That's our great friends the Foster Failures and Prince and I at the back of the table..........


My Border Collie Miss Roxie always makes me smile. I showed pictures of the day I picked up Roxie a few months ago when she was abused and skin and bones. Now she is so beautiful with her shiny healthy coat and she's such a sweet darling girl............


My handsome boy Gus. Gus had the ole "fix" this week, poor guy. I hope he doesn't mind me putting his business out here like this. He is the most lovable oaf and I adore him..........


My beautiful girl Sophie our Rag doll cat. She too is a rescue who was about to be put down if someone didn't take her. She is such a loving girl...........


The next two shots are artwork I received from my gal, beautiful soulbrush, in London. I inquired about her beautiful art and she sent me these pictures from across the pond. I LOVE them and will show them again when I have them framed. Thanks again soulbrush. You're awesome........



I saw this cool old truck beside a dirt road that begged a snapshot........


I passed this old church and couldn't resist a quick snap. Such character..........


I had my hands treated with warm paraffin at the Wellness Fair I participated in Saturday. After coating my hands with warm wax they were wrapped in bags to dry. It felt so warm and wonderful...............



It's going to be another great week at our house!!! Pursue happiness each and every day............it's a decision you won't regret. If you look for beauty in everything, you're sure to find it.

Quiet Sundays.............

I just can't say much today so this will have to say it all for me..........



Jesus loves me,
This I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.

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........
