Fast forward to 2008

Yep, here they all are, the loves of my life!! Now that I have finally begun this "blogging thing" I plan to share a lot more about the many happenings that include me & these awesome individuals that I call FAMILY. Stay tuned.....

More than a half Century ago...

OK, so this is really a long time ago but I thought it would be fun to begin at the beginning. It was unusual to see me dressed up and polished like this since playing in the dirt or wading in the nearby creek was more my speed. I still don't like to "dress up" & feel more at home when I'm barefoot, outside & eating home grown tomatoes. I was born in a little town in West Virginia & even though I would never want to go back there to live, I cherish the beauty that surrounded me in the form of rolling hillsides, mountains, lakes & creeks & the wonderful changes that each season brought. I am now living in North Georgia & find many similarities in the beauty that is here. I hope to one day take my Grandchildren back to where I grew up but only the surroundings are left now since my childhood home was destroyed from the remnants of hurricane Ivan in 2004. It is really true that "home is where the heart is" & I can truly say that I have all I need right here in Georgia even though part of my heart will be in South Carolina with my son & his family.
