Blue and Gold.....

The National FFA Convention begins tomorrow in Louisville. I've been ask to help judge floral arrangements again.
These young adults are so eager to learn and to be the best that they can be. There are no limits to what they can achieve. As I set and watch them during their meetings I wonder which ones will be CEO of their own company. How many will become engineers, lawyers, scientist. Maybe president of the USA. As I said before there are no limits to what an FFA member can achieve.

I remember when.....

Remember the good-ole days? How many times have you heard your parents say, "I remember when...."  I took this picture on Friday. I was so excited to see the price of gas under $3.00 that I had to snap a photo. Seems gas prices keep dropping. When I left work today they were down to $2.89. Guess the best thing for all of us to do is keep our tank full, never know when it might jump back to $3.89. I've seen gas change four times in one day. I even remember the day gas jumped to a dollar a gallon. Folks were saying, "what is this world coming to."

Blessings of the day......

Nothing better on a cool crisp fall morning than the smell of smoke from Daddy's wood stove. As I made my way to the garage the frost glistens off the grass. I take a moment to look around at this beautiful morning.

The maple tree is blazing with color as the morning sun makes each leaf shine.

The day begins at the flower shop by designing a casket spray. The family explained to me that Mom loved fall and could I possibly include some fall leaves with sunflowers.

The family called in and wanted me to know-"Mom would have loved it, it's perfect."
 God gives each one of us a gift. We each are blessed with a talent. So thankful that He blessed me with the ability to take a simple leaf and design a beautiful arrangement.
I'm thankful for the many blessings of the day......

Wordless Wednesday.......

Birthday.......

Today is my birthday.... I've been blessed all day with Facebook wishes, phone text, calls, birthday cards and presents. How special everyone has made me feel. Blessed to be surrounded by such love and good friends.

 Blessed to have loving parents, an amazing husband and two beautiful daughters that fill my heart with such joy. Thankful for each one of my friends..
Spent my day doing what I love-shopping for antiques, working in my gardens and mowing.  Receiving birthday wishes from those I love.....priceless.

Wordless Wednesday......

Uncle Hubbie.......

Took Daddy to visit his brother Hube, (Uncle Hubbie to me) this afternoon. What a great visit they had. Uncle Hubbie will be 92 years young this week. I told Daddy last week that we would go visit with him the next time I get a day off. Today was the day and Daddy was like a kid in the candy store. He was all smiles and couldn't get his coat on fast enough.
Uncle Hubbie was excited to see Daddy, when Daddy came in the door he hollered, "Hey, it's my little brother, June". June is what Daddy's brothers and sisters call him. Daddy was named after his Dad. To make it simple, Mamaw Brumett nick named him "June" so she would only have one William in the house.
They talked non-stop about their days on the mountain and I heard them talking about Mr. Cox. Boy, have I heard stories about him. As we were ready to head home they gave each other a hug, said, I love you a couple times and hugged again.
What a blessing today was.......
