Thursday Challenge

This weeks challenge:

"WRITING & WRITING TOOLS" (Pens, Pencils, Notebooks, Journals, Calligraphy, Graffiti,...)

Next Week: ORANGE (Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers, Leaves, Clothing,...)

I have no idea what any of this means but someone is talented.

Shelby is always pointing out the Graffiti on trains or walls or whereever she sees it.

There were lots of train cars I could have taken but she picked these out for me to take pictures of.

 Something about seeing this cute pig out for a walk just makes 

children want to pick it up and give it some love.

Then you know what comes next don't you?
Awe... it's so cute!Can we please have a pig?

Um... NO!

Barn Charm #28

Nicholls, Georgia Hwy. 32

Way off the road but I loved that I got the cotton patch in the picture.

Close up shot of the mulit-colored barn.

Reminds me of Joesph's coat of many colors.

Mellow Yellow Monday

 The Goldenrod is in bloom down here in South Georgia and growing everywhere.

This is in the ditch between the highway and the cotton patch.

I took this yesterday on the way to the Floyd family reunion.

It's My Big Baby's Birthday

And he turned 30.
And I can't believe it.

I don't feel old but I must be,
because he is 30!
Love him more than he will ever know.

Good To See Sam Again

When riding up to the opening of Mule Days, 

the girls spotted Sam again and of course

had to stop and say hello.

It would really be hard to forget such a  handsome fellow!

He is 13 years old and weighs 3300 lbs!
I'd love it if he came and walked around my front acre.
You know that I love all things black and white!

October

Nothing says October like Pumpkin!

I saw the recipe on Cherie's blog and needed some right then.

I had everything in the house to make it

and I did

Can I say Y.U.M!!!

Paula Dean's Oooey Gooey Butter Cake

Crust:

1 Yellow Cake Mix

1 Egg

1 stick of butter, melted

(to give this an even better kick add a cup of chopped pecans to the crust)
Mix with fork, and press in bottom of 9x13 pan.

Top:

1 pound powdered sugar (4 cups)

1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz)

1 stick of butter, very soft or melted

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Mix and pour over base.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or until set. The center should still be slightly gooey.

Cool and serve topped with powdered sugar. Delicious! But not diet friendly. :)

To make the pumpkin version, add one 15 ounce can of pureed pumpkin (plain pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie), 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp nutmeg.

Silly Sock Day / Relay For Life

For $1.00 the GRAND-girls wore silly socks today to school.

the money went to Relay for Life.

Guess who was making socks last night at 11:00?

I finished all 4 socks 5 minutes till midnight.

I don't really like cell phone pics but that is

 all I could come up with in the middle of the night.

But then that is all I used at 7:30 this morning was the cell phone.

The GRAND-girls spent the night with me last night
and were very happy this morning to wake up to their cute socks.
They got a lot of Ooos and Ahhs this morning as they walked to class.

55 Years of Celebration!

Happy 55th Anniversary to my sweet mama and daddy!!

What a great example of living and loving they are to us children,

GRAND-children and GREAT-GRAND children!

Love you both so very much!

Barn Charm #26

 

I didn't even have a lens wide enough to capture the whole scene.
I could have gotten out of the car and ran back but I was to lazy
and the Sweetheart wouldn't back up!
What to do?
