Gulf breeze...


I'm off to be with family in Pensacola, Florida this weekend - it's my two great nephews' birthdays (they were born the same week, but two years apart.)  I'll see you when I get back and will hopefully have photos as nice as this one when I return.

Happy weekend, y'all!

Packing day, more treasures and loving message

- A beautiful day to finish packing up our family home.  This is the right side of the house and you can see the "privacy" shrubs mom put in there on the side in the back yard.  The next door neighbors kept kind of a messy yard and rather than say anything, mom just blocked it out. 

- I vowed that I wouldn't bring anything else home, but bring it, I did.  I think this frilly dish came from my great aunt's house.  It's in my bathroom for now.  The scalloped edges put me in mind of a seashell.

- My father retired from Nabisco and had a collection of antique cookie tins.  This is one of them and I like how they put stray game pieces and marbles in it.  So I'll keep it like that.  :)

- This label in the inside of an old dresser drawer (off to a good home) caused a mini-meltdown.  This was my father's drawer and my mother had occasion to make a loving label at some point.  They sure did love each other - it's how I measure relationships now.

Macon, for one more day and hugs

Thanksgiving Day:

- Welcoming family at my aunt and uncle's overflowing home in Macon, GA. From 3-months-old to 84 years old, 50 in all spilling out of the house to welcome each other.

- A bittersweet reunion, knowing the house will be sold soon. So many years of memories and full of life for one more day.

- Hugs, hugs and more hugs. And then on to another journey to celebrate my mother's birthday in style.
