MALL-ed y'all !!!!!

I can guarantee you could count on ONE hand, the times I go to any mall! Too crowded, too expensive mostly to enjoy shopping.
Today, though, I had NO choice! I had to go to my most FAV shop, Bath & Body Works....for  my "special" bath gels.
Destiny interceded! Next door was an interesting shop filled w/beautiful pocket books (w/Vera Bradley "look"), travel bags, etc. Why it "called" me was....it is also a monogram shop.
I browsed.....caught sight of backpacks. Had not even crossed my mind too much. I opted to purchase a backpack.....need one for b'day trip w/Maxine next month.( Much more sensible since I still LUV my new turquoise pocketbook.)
This is what I chose. I  LUV  it. Soft cotton-type material. It will hold my varied items for our walk thru GIBBS GARDENS.
If you go on line and look this place up.....will BLOW yo mind! 1700 acres, many varied gardens. Location is about 10min. frm Donnie's!! Ball Ground for goodness sakes.
Maxine & I are soooo excited about our upcoming trip.
Now, I'll be able to carry only "necessary" items more comfortably. Much better than my 20lb. pocketbook...LOL

    That's really pretty!! I use a backpack at work. Don't even carry a pocketbook anymore, except to church. You'll love the freedom!!

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

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
