Tow Terror!

This "shadow" image is...transmission fluid which ran out of my car!!!
Max & I had been to Brass Town Bald...when we hit the main hwy. again...bout 50', all of a sudden blk smoke came thru my right side vent & icy water began drippin on my feet. UGH! It scared the beegeezzers out of me!! So I luckily was only a few more feet from a Citgo station. Pulled into there & quickly exited the car...didn't know if it was gonna blow up, catch fire of WTH! A woman on site got down on the ground & said a hose was totally detached...there was fluid running frm the side, all the way behind the car....:(  :(  So....there we were stranded..called roadside assistance & the pix below is the results....
This happened Sat. afternoon. Tow truck finally picked up my "baby" Sun. afternoon....:(  :(
So, Lamar drove to Blairsville, picked us up & brought us home.


My poooooor  "baby" got left behind in Blairsville and I had to leave her for repairs....booooohoooo  


It was one of the most awful,upsettin,mind-bogglin experiences of my life! We were blessed to have wonderful people @ Citgo who opened their hearts to Max&me and gave all the assistance they could muster.


Note: The Citgo is @ Buggar Hollow!!!!!!!!!!hehehehe  There are a lot of Buggar Hollow roads out on 129 S.


Have to grab a laugh wherever I can on this one....

Porch BABY....

Image
Walked out on porch this morning, enroute to my car. Noticed a bird, perched on the top of the screen door. Upon further inspection-----it was a BABY! It's lil feet firmly attached to the screen and backed up into the corner as tightly as possible! I tried thumping the screen to "shoo" him on...didn't work. Then, open & closed door...didn't work. It would just squeel sorta! and remain in place! I went on outside (w/camera, ofcourse)...no movement frm that attached stance. It's lil feet were firmly attached. I tried prodding gently w/broom handle....nothing! I knew it was a baby, it's lil eyes were only slightly open. Went back on porch and put on my softest gloves. Went out and gently removed it frm it's perch grip....boy did it fuss at me loudly! I know it was scared. Took the fella out and tried to place it on a bush limb. When I let go....it flew....not well, but it did fly off. It came back toward higher branch & lit there. Aft...

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos...

MEMORIES.....of Evonne

Image
Isn't she beautiful? Such an ol' soul w/a very sweet spirit about her. This is a difficult blog to write....LIFEtime/Sista friend, and "Auntie" Evonne. It is one I must write for me. Tears already falling....it's still very raw. We spent so much quality time together thru our years. Friends, school chums, and then....she married my Uncle Herman. Wow! Now she was "legally" a member of our family. How wonderful! Our lives were so intertwined....and will always be that way. There  simply is no way to express all we shared in this blog! Evonne SHARED so very much w/me. At the top....her dear Mother....Miss Louise. Miss Louise was a friend, mentor and 2nd mother. She treated me as her own daughter. I MISS her so very much, and now, I MISS Evonne, too. As Donnie said....it SUCKS!! Evonne also SHARED her beautiful daughter--Bonnie, and her 2 grandkids. I am unable to clearly express the love and fun those 2 kids have brought to my life. All 3 of them w...
