EYE Faux Pas!!!!!!!!!!

Image
On our way to Huddle House for a "light" supper....spotted this (we were looking frm the right side lane). Both of us assumed...therein lies the folly.....it was a woman's purse! NOT....We decided to go eat & if it was still there when we drove home....it would be on our side of the road....we'd stop, retrieve it and call the law. TOOOO funny! "Bag" was still there (curiously, after an hr. or so)....we stopped. I got out, checked on the "purse" lying there. DUH! It is a black bag, filled w/thrown out Large BEER cans.....hahahahaha Lessons learned: don't presume anything, until you check it out. #2, I'm thankful the city cop I approached about it was just that....city....NOT county. (no harm, no foul!!)                                                              Sometimes....trying to be a good person, well, needs a much better "planning" scenario..... Oh well, laughter IS the best medicine.....                          

Scrabble HIGH!

Image
I luv Scrabble and have been playing the computer "robot" for years. It's as golf, the competition is with yourself! My sons finally cajoled me into playing games with real, live people! I now play WWF and have the most fun! I just luv this game! I've been extremely frustrated lately---WWF hasn't posted "milestones" for  me...dang it. Guess the "pat on the back" is no longer available...lol I very rarely ever managed a 400 pt. game w/the computer "robot". Since I began playing on-line WWF, many of my winning players often are able to obtain that level. I finally  DID  have a 400pt. game the other day....I was so very excited about  it! Then, no published mention of that, or high point words that day...UGH. I'm over it!! Just wish I could have seen it in writing...lol I've also learned a lesson worth remembering -- there is ONLY  one winner, somebody has to lose the game. (Not sayin I like losing, but it is a fact--it W

CLEAN Find!

Image
Today I did a quick "tidy up" job around my desk area for this photo. (obviously I missed a thing or two on the left, bottom corner...haha) As I was quick cleaning on the right, lower area I made a WONDERFUL find......wait for it...hahaha A good while back, I had loaned money to someone for a bill. Well, I did get repaid as promised. However, I FORGOT to put the money into my purse....I just "stuck" it in the organizer at my desk. Ok, I FOUND it again today!  I do remember the occasion, but had totally forgotten where I stashed the money. It is $35.00--don't you just LOVE surprise "finds".... "Losing it" as one gets oooolder is tuff, but FINDING it again is terrific FUN..and ooooohhhh so satisfying!!

TISSUE Issue!

Image
Isn't that the sweetest, most innocent little face...HA! This is truly my WILD child...Ariel is the only one of our 3 Pekes to have certain "quirks" that are maddening! #1 Ariel is a virtual "floor sweeper"....she will scan the floors for any tiny morsel to chow down on! Dust bunnies(even finding them AFTER I've swept)!, crumb that fell before her, or whatever. UGH. My beloved Vet even says his dog does the same....it's just "new" behavior to us.  #2  Ariel is obsessed w/Kleenex! We've learned NOT to  leave any lying about for temptation! When she goes on the porch....she ALWAYS "checks" the table for loose morsels...lol  I have to take precautions to keep her Kleenex consumption to a minimum!!!! Turn the boxes over, tuck in any loose corners, "police" any area where I have used one.... This morning I had sat down at my computer....heard a  vague noise....it persisted....got up, looked around---there she was----happ

Carousel Caper!

Image
This is the carousel greeting you inside Mt. Berry mall in Rome, Ga. The moment  I saw it...I  knew I had to RIDE. I rode one at Lake Winnie years ago, and I just enjoy riding. That is me, coming round the corner on my awesome animal! This was by far the most beautiful horse....I just LUV the roses & angel on it. I chose this one! Awesome, beautiful and he's an animal who moves FAST and is grace  in motion. I enjoyed my adventure on the carousel. Feeling free, throwing caution to the wind! Ofcourse, they are safe...even kids ride...lol I love adventure, being spontaneous....it's the spice of life. Enjoy the moment, wherever you happen to travel.   In this instance, I was just a youngen having FUN.....

FEED withdrawals!

Image
I, for the most part, like the new Timeline. However....I'm so dang tired of missing photos & posts  of people I want to follow. I've found 2 ways to "stop this madness"!! 1.  I go into "Photos" on the left side of the page to look and see if I did indeed "miss" a posting. I have found there are quite a few that flew on by me! This new "feed" system goes like lightening...it pushes even your own post to the bottom and out-of-sight toooo fast! In a matter of hrs.--poof! you're gone & noone else sees...DUH I remember BT (before Timeline) that posts stayed out for viewing longer. Oh well, I began reposting ...usually when most people come home from work!! 2. People  I really care to follow/read their postings require a trip to their page. It's easy, and I've begun doing it several times a day. I WANT to read what others have posted!! This solves my problem of the "missing feed"....LOL Now, guess FB will t

Think about it....

This sign was displayed in a 1st grade classroom. WOW! I think it is self-explanatory. My 2 cents -- IF followed by adults, lawmakers, politicians, parents and EVERYONE.....the possibilities are endless.  World peace, maybe??? Understanding.....what a unique idea...........Think before speaking....what an amazing concept.

NOW You Tell Me!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday was such a beautiful day. Sunshine, slow breezes, no real schedule to complete. I'm so happy & addicted to my new camera! The zoom on this sucker "gets me there" for whatever I'm shootin....I've quickly become bored w/ground shots of anything!  Decision made to ride out to Red Top Mtn. and w/my camera, to look @ things in a more   attentive way.   First stopped at the bridge and boat launch area...then on to find log cabin. The cabin has a history (can't find actual article to read). It was sitting at the end of the Vaughn Rd....where we live. The cabin was totally dismantled, moved to Red Top for historic preservation, and rebuilt from bottom to top. It is very well known around here.  I went to the area and took pictures. I was truly amazed at how beautiful it is. When out here, there was siding on it!!! ugh. ..Now it is in "raw form" and beautiful again. A true testament to how well-built log homes were "back then".

QUEEN for a Day

This was MY day! I spent it w/two sweet GRANDkids. Attended the book fair, lunch w/both, and granddaughter's dance program. I was greeted by both---hollerin, throwing up arms, and running toward me when I arrived. It was soooo sweet. They truly can melt the heart! Seeing and knowing their excitement & happiness just to "see" me was unexplainable thru words! My heart was truly filled w/joy at those moments. Then....I went w/grandson to "check"  his sugar level. He immediately introduced me to  his nurse. She said that she was so glad I was there. Said he was so excited knowing I was going to be there, and she was happy I did show up. I was again, touched and felt like a very important person! I have sad memories from my kids growing up. Was not able to attend school functions for them. As a single mama---I was always working. Lamar &  I did make it to an occasional night program....but very few, after we were married.  I really did have a WONDERFUL,
