LPs....memories!

Image
Pare down! There must have been 100 LPs we had "saved"!  This is an original of Fleetwood Mac "Rumors" Lamar kept. Sweet...as a young girl I had written my name&Mama on this one. Still luv Patsy Cline to this day. Ahhh, Tammy Wynette. Gloria & I went to see her in person...remember it well. Top left corner...2/28/75  Nashville South(club in Macon, Ga. "back when")! *still enjoy Tammy's music, too* Ok, I was young & he was a "fantasy" of my dreams then...lol Ofcourse, no excuses needed for lovin Johnny! GOLDEN save...ELVIS. Original LPs I collected as a young music lover. Plan to pass these onto my sis-in-law, as she collects Elvis items. Still luv "Wedding Song" from Blue Hawaii even now.... These made the "cut" when we discarded ones we have on CDs now....memories come in many forms...these remind me of my youth. Workin a 50cents an hr. job & using some of the money to feed my music hunger! To

Hello Jesus.....almost!!

This is the most similar pic I could find...shape is right...color was all white. Fri. Eric&I went to Kennesaw lookin for an HPcomputer for me as an upgrade. We were on the 75 bridge @Chastain Rd. I was traveling toward Busbee and apparently this truck was going north & to turn onto 75S. I was waiting for the light to change...I started fwd on GREEN, and never saw the truck on my left side!! Eric hollered, I hit the brakes & actually had to BACK up to get out of this nut's path!! We both were very  shook up to say the  least. #1 I had a GREEN light #2 I never looked to my left because I knew  they were stopped @ RED light.....W R O N G!! We could have  "spit in that dude's eye" frm where I hit the brakes!!!!!!!!!  If Eric had not looked up & hollered---I could be very badly injured/crushed in T-bone or dead....It didn't hit me @ that moment how  "close the call" happened....it took a few minutes to sink into my brain. I  KNOW God'

GRANDMA goes to class!

Image
Field trip today w/Grandson @ Tellus, mineral museum. 2-fold intentions of spendin time w/him and gettin to see myself as I've not been yet. Turned into "class"time mostly on plates/faults of our earth..which is sorta interesting, but mostly boring....lol  The planetarium was not on today's list, so will have to go again myself for that. This fascinated me! 297gram (454 gr =l lb) meteorite hit a house in Cartersville 3/8/09! 25 found in state, but this is 1st documented case of meteorite hitting house in Ga! House was vacant @ time & homeowner just recently loaned it to Tellus.Displayhas part of roof&ceiling&rafter which were hit. !! So, even though I was bored w/earth plates class--found this a highlight for my day. Never too old to learn something new! I truly enjoyed my 1-on-1 time w/my smart, handsome, sweet Grandson...Course, you know @ the gift shop GrandMa had to buy rocks!! hahaha    a moment in time....a sweet memory to savor.

CARDtastick 63!

Image
These are beeeutiful b'day cards I received....I LUV cards&usually save them! I hoard them to reread & enjoy at leisure! Cards are always special to me. Knowing someone took the time&made the effort to pick somethin they felt was just my "cup of tea"! There is LOVE in every one. There is always 1 that tugs @ the heartstrings more than others...this is that one. Card frm my C'ville GRANDkids...the card is cute BUT, it's the signatures written/printed by them that make it THE one!! Grandson is gettin pretty good w/his cursive(on left side of card!) and Granddaughter is printin pretty good,too. What more could an ol GrandMa need???? Sooooo sweet! Yes, you did see the number 63....that's ME....hahahaha I feel younger some days & more playful, then, well---the ol bod just wants to be still & rest--do nothin!  lol  I know 63 is just a number, but sometimes it is sooooo much worse....lol    I'm really thankful to still be here, enjoy

Storage Story....

Image
Lamar's dream wish was for a storage bldg. Today that became reality.... This is bldg. being driven into the property. The delivery person was 21yrs. old and "threaded" that bldg. right into the opening toot sweet, no  problem! Approximately 2hrs. later, bldg. is "in", leveled w/tie downs.  Lamar shootin the breeze w/the driver.... Now the work begins...get bedroom emptied w/Lamar's "stuff"!!! Then, remove carpet,new floor, fresh clean&paint, plus curtains--of course...lol This was a very HAPPY day for my sweet husband....and, it was my birthday, too! So....we're just 2 happy old folks today!!  Never give up on your dream.....it may come as "delayed gratification" and still thrill ya to the bones...hahaha

I've been made the butt of many jokes about my yard sales fettish...Well--lookie here to the left: Dale Earnhardt Jr.  ELVIS  1/24 car;unopened,unused, 2007 issue.  Sprint Cup, diecast                                                         I went on EBay just checkin!! lol It is worth $59.99 (in condition I bought it)!!!! That sucker cost me....wait for it....50 cents & I have a Witness to the purchase....lol The backstory - Woman related to me that her husband told her kids he wanted one. All 3(THREE) kids purchased him one as a gift!!!!!!! hahaha  Now, he still has 2 on hand. I asked her & him, will I be attacked as I leave if I give you the 50cents?? lol  They both assured me the purchase price was ok. Even more strange -- today is Sat. and this collectible sat there ALL day Fri. and no one inquired or asked about it....DUH! My intentions were to buy it for my SWEET sis-in-law who collects ELVIS item & LUVs him. Worst case was that she wouldn'

Funky Floor.....

We live surrounded by woods...we like it that way! Our "yard" is a forest floor... While walking Ariel this mornin, I noticed leaves & pine cones... This guy was sooo green, he was gettin his attention easily! Little "brownin" on the corners, too. I spotted this bright yellow among all the pine straw...wet frm rain& yelling, look @ me! This little vignette was cute..mister RED stands out totally! Tiny, but "special"! These 3 must have fallen together...remain "attached"....must be siblings...lol     Yes, I'm a country girl & I LUV nature....ofcourse, at my present "stage" in life, entertainment is easily found on a coool, damp, fall morning. It's just beneath and near my footsteps...how divine! haha

What a cutie--amazing tool....Rented this thing Tues. so Eric could "level" site for Lamar's new "out bldg." Leveled for blocks now. Eric @ work.... After "level" finished...he cleaned out woods to the left of my bird sanctuary. It's amazing how different "clean" ground is after 30yrs. of total woods! Gonna like this! Thanks, once again, to Eric & Marc for their assistance to prepare for "out bldg." We truly ARE blessed w/good sons. TY Jesus......:)  and TY sons.....

Thumbs UP!
