Cell Phone Saturday #14

Picture is not from my cell phone but I just had to share!

Local Wedding Venue

I photographed a wedding here at Dover Bluff a few weekends ago.

It was a Saturday and had rained all morning.

The skies parted and things cleared up for a very nice evening wedding.

It was held in the back yard of a private residence over looking the marsh.

This is a nice view of the Marsh from the back porch of the home.

This is a shot from the side yard.

The cake was so pretty and so delicious.

The un-wanted guest were horrible!!!

Yellow flies, sand gnats and mosquitoes, oh my!

I knew they would be and I wore long sleeves and

long pants and used two different kinds of bug spray.

They also had sprayed the yard twice that day

but it didn't seem to help much.

I looked a little out of place with all the

pretty summer sun dresses but I was there to

 get pictures not look pretty.

Several persons commented that they

wish they had covered up more.

It's not always this bad, sometimes it's worse!

We didn't have a cold winter to kill off the bugs

so summer will be hot and miserable.

So thankful for air-conditioning,

which I have been using off and on since February!

Can't Quit Thinking...

And wondering...

Just how the wedding plans are going for Lady Mary and Matthew.

I can't wait to be a guest at that wedding.

I bet the cake will be just awesome!

And, Mr. Bates, how is he doing behind bars?

And poor sweet Anna...

And what in the world will we do

when Grandma-ma, Dowager Countess,

 Dame Maggie Smith leaves after season 3???

Can't somebody stop her or yet offer her more money?

Please stop her.

What an awesome cast!

I was excited to learn that most of them have

signed contracts through season 5!

Love, love, love Downton Abbey.

You already know I'm crazy so this

will not come as a shock to you.

Every now and then I have to pull up any

 episode of this show and listen for a few minutes

 just to get a quick fix of that British accent.

Ah, just what I need to get through the

 day and the real problems in life.

Finally

Just finished putting the garden in.

It's only over a month late.

Been a crazy busy Spring for me. 

New Potatoes (way late, should have been Feb 14)

Red Sweet Peppers

Green Bell Peppers

Cucumbers

Yellow Crock Neck Squash

Watermelon for the very first time.

Hope you all are doing okay and are having a happy Spring.

Hope to be back to bloggin soon.

Take care my friends!

Barn Charm # 43

I'm always looking for barns.

And I have to take what I can get!

We don't live in a rural area.

So I was excited to find this barn! 

Took this picture at the Jacksonville Zoo last week

when the girls were out of school for teachers planning day.

Just wish there would have been a few Warthogs in there.

Mellow Yellow Monday

These pictures were taken last week at the Jacksonville Zoo.

Cell Phone Saturday #12

Spring has sprung here in south Georgia.

 And we have been Kite flying a lot in the last two weeks.

Both GRANDgirls are really good at flying kites.

I started teaching them at age 2.

Now that they are 7 and 5 they are real pros.

Makes a Gigi proud.

I bought little cups for the nursery at church and they

were on the kitchen counter so I wouldn't forget to

take them. Reagan called me to come look at her castle!

She was so excited! I had to laugh and

be happy about her creativity.

 (I still had half a pack left for the nursery.)

I've shown you mine now you show me yours!

Cell Phone Saturday!

Cell Phone Saturday #11

On Monday when I went to help the Sweetheart

escape from the hospital, I found this in the parking

 lot behind the hospital. I just let him sit up on that

5th floor and wait on me while I walked round

and round and took picture after picture of

 this ..... this.... truck of Dead Animals.

I'm not sure what else to call it.

And the first thing I thought of besides

somebody has to be crazy, was "Cell Phone Saturday"

I was so excited for y'all to see this that I almost

 shared it with you on Wednesday :)

 But I save it for today!

To start off with, it has a Wayne County Tag, so I was

glad to know it wasn't a local driving this, this thing.

Ta Da!!!!!!!

I wonder what P.E.T.A. would think of this if they saw it?
I bet the owner don't give a hoot what PETA thinks.

I mean, from every angle there is something new to look at.

I wonder how long it took this Red Neck to construct this little gem?

This is the back end :)

Oh, there were lots of people stopping to take Cell Phone Pictures.

I'd have to wait till people backed away so as to not take their pictures.

And look at that Cat? How does it all stay up there when he drives?

That must be some good glue.

How much does this stuff cost?

I just knew y'all would love me for this!

I just know seeing this local stuff makes y'all

want to come down south for a little visit.

Good gracious!

Best hood ornament I have ever seen!

Makes me just want to join Swamp People and kill me a gator.

Now look a little closer.

Those are snakes standing up on the hood.

And I think that is a Bob Cat sitting on top.

And is that a Beaver off to the right side?

This is the Drivers side. You see that gun?

Look at the turned up claw of some kind just above

and to the right of that Jack Daniels bottle.

See what I mean, every angle tells it's own story.

I just couldn't get enough.

 I must have taken 25 pictures.

Just nasty.

And funny thing, when I showed my son this

picture he said he had seen this truck

on the "Cars of Walmart" web site.

And when I showed the GRAND-girls,

they had already seen this truck in the the Christmas Parade.

See what I missed by not going??

Who knew?

Well, one last look up close and personal

of the tail gate. I really wanted you to see the skull

head with the black hair.

Mercy what an awesome cell phone find for this week!

I need to get out of the house more often!

Cell Phone Saturday (week 10)

He owes me big time!

My Sweetheart of 34 years,

owes me!

Yep!

That is the Sweetheart in a hospital bed!!!!

And he scared me to death, again.

I tell him he takes years off my life when these things happen.

He went off in the Ambulance about 11:30 Wednesday night.

Crazy thing, soon as they showed up, I started to throw up.

Nuts, I tell you, just nuts!

Good thing that the son that lives the closest to us

followed the ambulance and stayed

the night with him in the ER.

I stayed home and worked thru the virus

 that has been going around down here.

I showed up the next morning was sick

 again and had to go back home.

That time my brother was in town and

he was able to stay with the Sweetheart.

And it was a really bad time for him so

I was really glad that he stayed with my Sweetheart.

He is much better.

He had an infection jump on him really fast.

He stayed in the hospital 5 days.

He's better.

He's out and already back to work.

He loves work :)

He loves me, more.

And that is why he owes me.

We were suppose to have a date the very night he went in the hospital.

We were gonna celebrate our 8th anniversary.

That anniversary was the one of our

Kidney donor, Kidney transplant surgeries 8 years ago March 1st. 

Yep, the man has one of my Kidney's.

And it's a good one too.

So tomorrow night we are gonna try and celebrate again!

Wish us luck!

Sorry I'm almost a week late of Cell Phone Saturday.

I think you'll forgive me :)
