MEANDERINGS of Margie

We are so very Blessed to have ARIEL. She has been the sweetest, funny, loving, Ornary lil companion!...and quite Stubborn sometimes! The terrible 2s DID apply to her! Lamar called her the Peke frm hell, during that time.!! She chewed on Everything! and pitched awesome "fits" when I had to leave. Ariel has been diagnosed w/Heart Murmur...we know every day, is a Blessing, having her w/us. She sleeps a lot! and gets meds Every day --Lasix & Heart med. Hoping she'll be around a while yet {can't think on the alternative} Pics are of ARIEL ~ as she's aged and became this Senior Sweetie! BABY girl.... a few ... sleepin... ARIEL is a doll ~ playin, sleepin, just BEING herself. These pics run 2010 - 2016. Lookin good w/full hair&clipped. I have soooooooo many!! Will stop w/these. ARIEL is FAMILY ~ and we LOVE her very much. HAPPY 14th Birthday - our sweet Baby Girl.

This ^, is where our 38yr. Friendship began...1981, Kennesaw College Campus Security. We became BFFs, SISTA/Friends, she was an Awesome Mentor, and stepped in--as "Mother" figure, when my Mama passed into Heaven. I began to take Maxine on trips ~ for her birthday ~ each year. Cabins by the water, & 1 trip w/HOTtub on deck!! made her Smile! 3x Gibbs Gardens (she loved the Flowers); Blairsville (Brass Town Bald); Dahlonega(Vogel State Park); Maggie Valley (hit ALL the shops @ Cherokee!!); Lake Guntersville (a FAV for her). We made 2 trips to Panama City (to visit Norah~a Dear friend). Couple of trips to Michigan. So. We Loved to go "trippin" together!! We laughed, ate well and just Relaxed on these trips. As years progressed....we began chatting EVERY day.!! We talked Family, grand kids, discussed our day with each other, and...tried to solve a few World problems!!!..LOL {I really MISS those calls & time chatting w/Maxine} IF there is such ~ Maxine, I

Feb. 7th was FUN! We went to Rockmart...did a trail walk @ the park there. It was a beautiful day...WINDY/gusty as heck!!!!, warm sunshine, tho. There were a few vendors there ~ managed to snag an awesome Apple turnover..Ronda got Blueberry bread. Both were yummie ~ I could "feel" my hair, flyin all over my head! Kept fingering it back in place ~ did No good. LOL Asked Ronda to take a pic, close-up, cause I Knew it would be a laugh-worthy moment. Well....it WAS! It's taken me this long (since 2/7), to be gutsy enough to Share it !! We have Laughed so hard @ this moment! Bangs blown back/disappearing....top n back of hair, almost standing up alone!!!!! My more serious thought, about the pic ~ I  SEE my Sweet MAMA right there!! What a hoot, to have people tell me I favor her. She was always..laughing and having fun. Even this pic ~ shows how the gusty WIND, has blown the "do" all over the head!! Ya'll....We still LAUGH, just talking about this &q

I enjoy recycle/painting things. My LOVE sign, on the porch....was very Faded, dusty and looking pitiful!(has been there a few yrs.) Pink wittle flowers... Painted it ALL white....nice n clean! Marc came in, while I was painting....hey, ya being crafty! Told him....gonna make this sign be Sunflowers. Ha! Marc said, Mom, ya can't Make Sunflowers outta Roses!!! I say...Ok,....but it's Artist Interpretation.!!! LOL Finished....It could be....flowers are verrry Young Sunflowers!!!! (end product Is much Brighter...w/Yellow flowers, @ least!!) Was a Fun project...
