<span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 12.864px;">I always try to give a little girl at each art show we do something special. We were in Ocean Springs, MS this Sat. working an art show and I found that special girl about 5 years old and gave her a necklace. Well it </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 12.864px;">turned out that last year I picked that same girl. On Sunday her parents brought me this picture that she did for me. I can't think of a better way of getting paid than this. Oh her parents did do some shopping for her with me. Double bonus!</span></div>

In April of 2014 our neighborhood in Pensacola, FL was devastated when a freak flood destroyed all that we owned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was coming home from a night class I was taking at Pensacola State College and it was raining very hard. The lightning was flashing so fast that I could not see the road. The weather forecast was for rain that evening but but it was suppose to stop by 8:00. I was driving my husband's truck and was washed off the road just before my exit and ended up in a large grassy spot. I could not go forward or reverse. Within a few minutes my feet were wet. I phoned my husband to tell him what was happening. He said to call 911. Before I could even dial the number for 911 I was sitting in waist deep water. Thankfully at that moment a fire engine stopped and retrieved me from the cold rising water. I was taken to a service station right off the exit. There I was told that no one was getting in or out of my neighborhood which was only a few miles away. All I wanted to do was go home and be with my husband. They closed the interstate shortly after I arrived and I was offered a warm place to sleep in a car and a change of clothes by a nice couple from NOLA that was stranded there also. There were over a hundred cars parked in the parking lot when the sun came up. I stayed in touch with friends and my husband through facebook and texting. I panicked when my husband told me that water was coming into our beautiful home. Other neighbors were posting the same thing. All I could think about is that we did not have flood insurance because we are not in a flood zone. My husband told me he knew we were in trouble when our dogs were swimming in the living room and the beds started floating. He spent the night on top of the kitchen cabinets with three dogs and an African Grey parrot. About 3am a rescue boat was picking up neighbors and taking them to a shelter. I can only envision a large boat going down the streets of our neighborhood. I heard later that the boats belonged to the neighbors on another street and they went to their driveway started them up and off to the rescue. They said it was difficult to maneuver through the fast currents that were estimated to be about 45 mph. They had to dodge the mailboxes and other debris flying by. They hit cars that were underwater and not seen. Some of the neighbors had water so high they they had to escape by busting a hole in their roofs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I posted on facebook the next morning that I needed a ride to the shelter where they took my husband. One of our pastors and his wife picked me up and took me there. The first thing I asked my husband was "what was damaged in my studio?". I had a garage studio with thousands of dollars worth of tools and a brand new kiln. He just shook his head. My heart just sank and tears came to my eyes. My neighbor across the street asked me if I had ever been to a shelter before and I replied "No and it wasn't on my bucket list". We were there most of the day trying to get transportation, a place to stay and care for our dogs. We were blessed by many friends with those needs. It was hard to believe that we were homeless. Then the worst part came.</div>

The first thing you have to do is get everything out and get the house dried out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the <b>hardest</b> part because we had to throw away all that we have owned for the last 62 years. Kids pictures, Grandmothers keepsakes, Mothers memories, antiques. The list goes on and on. My heart was so torn and at the same time we were in shock. We stayed in shock for the most part through all of this but we were so driven to get this done and behind us. I found out what an amazing husband I have during this time. He is my rock and never once did he complain or ask why. He is strong and loving and I am one blessed wife.</div>

The looters showed up that day. It is unbelievable that people would come to your home and go through all of your life and take what they wanted. The fact is that besides the water damage and mold the sewers failed and everything was sitting in <b>sewer water </b>but they took it anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our neighborhood was filled with so much action that I felt like we were at a circus with all that was going on. They had to re-route the traffic to one way coming in and going out. Between the looters, rubber neckers and volunteers I felt like I was on sensor overload. On top of that I manage a mini storage and people were calling me to rent them a storage unit. Everyone was just trying to save what they had left and find a place to put it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just can not put into words all the emotions they were felt during this time in our lives. At first it seemed like it was all a bad dream but there were so many more blessings we experienced in the next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had so many of our friends and Church Family show up to help us through the stripping out process. They brought food, supplies labor and lots of moral support. The ladies of the Church took our clothes home with them and washed them. We had commercial dryers donated along with generators to dry out our home. This took about a week and would have cost us quite a bit of change for those. People were donating not only their time but money also. It cost us $100.00 a day to run those generators. There were complete strangers making sure everyone had a place to stay offering their spare bedrooms. A family that was not affected by the flood organized a group that got donations from local businesses of food, water, fans and cleaning supplies that they delivered to the neighborhood several times a day for months. If anyone needed anything they got a donation for it and you got it. There were Churches that sent groups out with home baked cookies and sandwiches daily. The Church of Ladder Day Saints gave out 5 gallon buckets filled with cleaning supplies. The Baptist Church has a group that helps out with disasters supplying labor, supplies, etc and going around checking homes for moisture and spraying for mold. A local Church set up a huge fish fry with chicken and just about anything you can imagine for us. It was awesome and we were all so tired. We had friends offer donations of furniture and household goods when we moved back home. Through the weeks our Church sent us a meal to share at the end of each day. This was such a huge blessing. One Church member owns a flooring company and blessed us with a huge discount on flooring and counter tops. One of our biggest blessings was our Brother in Law, Jack, coming down here from NC to help. He is a Marine with many skills. He stayed with us 6 months helping with the rebuild. We could not have gotten back into our home after six months if it wasn't for him. The list goes on and on.</div>

It was a PITA to go through all the paper work for the SBA and fortunately we were declared a National State of Disaster so we got FEMA money too. The rest came out of savings. We had to replace all the appliances, the Heating and Air Conditioning system, electrical, doors, windows, bathroom fixtures, floor, walls, kitchen cabinets, well everything in our house. Even the hot tub was turned upside down from the waters and the shed was gone. The cost of building supplies seemed to rise as demand rose. Home Depot did give a discount to flood victims on appliances and fortunately my husband served as a Marine so we got a military discount at Lowes. All of a sudden you could not find a dry wall contractor, electrician, or anything else without being put on a waiting list. We all just wanted to get back home. We worked on our home from sunrise to dark because we still did not have electricity. We did this every day for 6 months only to break to go to work and Church. Then we finally moved back into our home. We still did not have a kitchen, doors and most everything else but we did have air conditioning, electricity and new floors. I really missed my dogs. A good friend kept them for us and we visited them a couple of times but I longed to be with them again. We had been sleeping on an air mattress all this time at a friends rental home that was still being worked on and had nothing in it but a card table. We were just so thankful to have it and too tired to care about anything at all. The first thing we bought was a BED. We worked around getting everything else done ourselves. We have never been so exhausted in all of our lives.</div>

I furnished our 2500 SF house with yard sale, consignment shops, Craigslist and donations but it still wasn't inexpensive. I have to admit I had a hard time loosing my antiques and the house has a completely different look to it now.</div>

The kitchen is the most expensive thing to replace. We got quotes for just the cabinets and it was anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 dollars. This is just one wall of our kitchen. The other wall is twice as large. We went with the el-cheapo unfinished bottom cabinets only. I stripped the top cabinets. Stained the bottom cabinets driftwood and used several color waxes on it to achieve the look I wanted. They had to be sanded first and in between each coat of stain (2-3 coats) and wax color (4-5 coats). The top cabinets could not be stained so I had to sand and paint them a base color and go back and add the different colors to match the bottom ones. Then the hardware was added. There still is a section on the back that needs sanding and who knows when that will happen. This process took me about a month to do working on it everyday at lunch and when I got home in the evening.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to go with a casual beach theme. I combined my paintings with my husbands photography and it blended very well. Oyster shells came from a local restaurant on Pensacola Beach. It took me 2 weeks to get the stink off them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last room we did was the garage where my studio is. Tom got the dry wall put up and I did the happy Snoopy dance all day. It was soon followed by work areas that he thoughtfully thought out. A friend of mine gave me a jewelers bench and I tried to get the rust off of my tools. Some made it some did not. An electrician friend fixed my kiln and another friend told me about some friends of hers that had a jewelry studio that they were selling. I had planned to just buy a few pieces but they wanted it all gone and I am so glad I decided to take it. A pick up truck and trailer full of wonderful tools, equipment, beads, sheet metal and more. It did not take me long to get set back up and start creating again. My wonderful husband also took one of the spare bedrooms and fixed it up for an inside area so I can work in the AC doing my enameling and metal clay work. He built spaces for my beads, paints and other craft items. I even have an area for my photography. He then took another spare bedroom and made it a show room for my beautiful jewelry. I have never know a better man than my husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the work is done but there is still some things that we will probably never get to. I feel like we lost a whole year of our lives. We went without cable for that year. It is amazing how much you don't miss it. My husbands truck and my car were both paid off so now we have car payments. We have a loan from the SBA and this life event has put us back financially ten years but we never realized how blessed we are. We are so much closer to our neighbors. They are our family. God gave us the strength and courage to get through it every day we woke up. You never know what tomorrow brings. We have heard that a million times. You just have to believe that God is in control and all will be alright. Sometimes I don't believe it ever happened but I know it did because we are changed somehow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also hope I never have to sleep on an air mattress the rest of my life.</div>

"Woodsies" of the Forest.<br />
<br />
My Husband brought back some petrified wood from the Petrified Forest of Arizona on one of his trips out West. Being a lover of "old things", AKA Fossils, I found them pretty awesome. In doing some research on petrified wood I found that unlike other types of fossils which are typically impressions of compressions, petrified wood is a three-dimensional representation of the original organic material. I guess that is why there is so much texture to it which really appeals to me.<br />
<br />
I have paired the wood with gemstones like Carnelian and Agate to make these whimsical forest warriors. Joined together along with mixed metals they take on their different personalities. You can find them hanging out at: www.inklingsdesigns.com . They are pendants or brooches. You decide how you want to wear them.<br />

For some reason these simple yet complex creatures fascinate me. I can't help think of the story of "The Star Thrower" by Loren C. Eisele.<br />
<br />
It goes like this:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, so he walked faster to catch up.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects and throwing them into the ocean.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">He came closer still and called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">To this the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">As if he hadn't heard, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #514191; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>

After work she headed to Spanish Fort, AL to find a special fishing pole...a pink one of course!<br />
<br />
When she arrived there she was intrigued with all the toys they had out front. First she checked out a fishing boat. It was loaded with everything a fishing chic could ever want. Then she went for the Bad Boy four wheeler. "That would be fun on some of the clay trails down here in the South", she thought to herself before spotting something for her sister Hope. A truck that had her nickname on it...Red Head.<br />
<br />
The night was a little chilly so she warmed herself by the fireplace just inside before she went on her quest for her "lucky" pole. After she found just the right one she had dinner at the restaurant and then went to look at the kayaks. Of course the trip would not be complete without getting some homemade fudge in the General Store.<br />
<br />
On her way out she met a very nice guy, Darrell. He said he had a brother named Darrell for one of her Sisters. He had just purchased a boat and they discussed fishing techniques and live bait vs lures. Could this be her "catch of the day"?<br />
Well she was wearing her lucky fishing necklace that can be found at Inklings Designs: <a href="http://www.inklingsdesigns.com/">www.inklingsdesigns.com</a>. With her as the "live bait" and the necklace as the "lure" how could she not land the big one!<br />

Faith is quite the outdoors lover. She shines the most when experiencing all the senses of the outdoors. Kayaking is one of her favorite things things to do. On New Years Eve she went with some friends kayaking at Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve located in Atmore, AL. She had never been there before so she was quite surprised at how much the campground had to offer. It is nestled deep in the woods and makes you feel like your are light years away from the hustle and bustle of the city.<span style="color: #644324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px;"> </span>Surely one of Atmores's best kept secerts. Located on Big Escambia Creek there are acres of pristine timberland and scenic waterfront. It is one of the many Creek Indian Enterprises run by the Poarch Creek Indians and only minutes from Wind Creek Casino. <br />
<br />
The Tribal leader, Billy was there to greet everyone and volunteered to shuttle the group up creek to make it easier for them. Along the way he showed them some of the many things to do there, Horseback Riding, Zip Lining, Tubing, Camping, Fishing and many more. He talked of the native plants and trees that were along the way and told some Indian "Tall Tails".<br />
<br />
When they arrived at the take off point they found the water level was just right with a few rapids and it was crystal clear. The scenery was as beautiful as Billy had described it to them. They stopped a little ways down the creek, beaching at a sandy spot and hunting cool and unusual stones. Faith's dog Bratt, who also went along, went for a swim and driftwood was collected along the way in the rushing water and strapped to the back of a kayak. "This piece will look great in the garden", she thought to herself as everyone else was giving her down the road for dragging it home. It was sorta sad when the paddle came to a close because everyone was having so much fun.<br />
<br />
After loading up the kayaks and equipment they had a wonderful cookout in the campground. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs were enjoyed and Billy stopped by to see if they needed anything else. He showed them where there was some great firewood to collect for later. After filling their bellies they relaxed fishing in the lake. Two catfish were caught but the fun was just having the pole in the water and watching the bobber float around with all their worries.<br />
<br />
Around the campfire everyone had a taste of marshmallows and shared their New Years Resolutions which probably will be broken but it is nice to try anyway. Fireworks were seen all along the drive home. It was a great way to start the new year.<br />

Things are always crazy about that time and she wanted to escape the norm and maybe enjoy some Christmas Cheer in a different City.<br />
<br />
She was looking for decorations, music, shopping, and great food...humm what better place to find that than in New Orleans. She was able to talk two of her close friends to go with her, well it did not take much to get them to go along. The weather was fabulous and the girls were looking forward to having another new adventure together.<br />
<br />
It is a short drive to New Orleans from the Sunshine State so they arrived in the afternoon. After checking in their room they headed through the French Quarter gazing in each window to see if they wanted to venture inside. The Quarter was festive with all the Christmas decorations and the girls almost had sensory overload at all there was to see, smell and hear. A few new Christmas ornaments were purchased at one of the unique boutiques and of course pralines were sampled. They decided to try Acme Oyster House for dinner. There is always a line there but the wait went quickly. Dinner was consumed and the girls headed to the Hotel for rest.<br />
<br />
The next morning they headed off to Cafe Du Monde for coffee and beignets and some people watching. Then they were off again to do some sight seeing and more shopping. Well... Ok...they had more pralines too. After all this was a mini vacation. They strolled along Jackson Square and enjoyed the sidewalk artist before they decided to take one of the bus tours of the City and Cemeteries. So much history was learned about New Orleans and oh how beautiful were the homes in some of the historic areas. After the 3 hour tour they enjoyed a Cajun meal of beans and rice and headed back to rest. The walk along Canal Street was magical that night as 3 friends walked down the sidewalk singing Christmas Carols to the music of the lone trumpeter on the street.<br />
<br />
The next morning they toured 2 of the many Plantations along the Mississippi River. Mint Juleps were served on the veranda and one last Cajun meal was had before heading home again.<br />
<br />
Hope returned home refreshed. She was relaxed and comfortable during her trip wearing her New Orleans Saints tee shirt and Necklace she purchased from her sisters favorite on line boutique, Inklings Designs. www.inklingsdesigns.com<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy some of the many photos that were taken on the trip.<br />

Gracie gets invited to a roaring 20's Murder Mystery Party. About 20 of her friends got together for a night of murder, mayhem and "The Mob". About the party:<br />
<br />
"With the passing of prohibition and organized crime on the rise, The Juice Joint, a swanky speakeasy run by Rosie Marie, has been nothing but jumping. To celebrate its success, Rosie is planning a party to remember at the exclusive nightspot. However, one of the names on the guest list is also on another's hit list...and no one is safe from the consequences. With the murder on the menu, you are certain to find a medley of individuals to make the night most memorable. From the major mobsters and their molls to the swanky singer with her hopes at Hollywood. The cigarette girl with a temper that sizzles to the crooked police chief with nothing to lose. No one is safe from murder...but everyone will have a chance at solving it. Will the culprit be the Mayor who is capable of murder? The blacklisted bootlegger desperate to increase their sales? Or possibly the director with a shot at making history? With the recipe for murder, the Juice Joint will be certain to be serving up a night of mayhem to remember."<br />
<br />
I bet you wish you were invited...or would the thought of rubbing elbows with the Mob be too much for you? Here are the pictures for your enjoyment.<br />

After the Murder and the arrest everyone enjoyed a fun filled evening. Gracie was sure glad to get home safe that night. Oh, so you want to know who did it??? Well that is another story.Inka Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803861268363139340noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105808346818749203.post-77910610895255276662011-12-24T08:56:00.001-06:002011-12-24T11:27:09.752-06:00Gracie goes to Bellingraph Gardens Gracie always celebrates the holidays with a trip to Bellingraph Gardens to see the awesome display of Christmas lights along with her friends. Jack Frost was nipping at her nose, so she dresses warm and is very stylish in her Santa hat and Rhinestone China Necklace that she got from her favorite on line boutique, Inkling's Designs.<br />
The hour drive to Mobile went by pretty fast as she anticipated the beautiful lights as she drove. She arrived a little early and was hungry so she decided to have something delicious at a restaurant on Mobile Bay. Fried shrimp and oyster platter caught her eye as oysters are in season during the month of December. The seafood was fresh as it always is on the Gulf Coast . <br />
Arriving at the Gardens, there was no waiting line as she arrived right at dusk. The lights were just starting to twinkle, she smiled with anticipation, and proceeded on her adventure. She wandered along the beautifully lit paths and awed at the magic of the glorious sights. So many new displays of lights were added this year. She particularly enjoyed the "under the sea" display and the swans on Mirror Lake. Stopping for a hot chocolate break, she enjoyed watching people and talking with some of the other guests in the gardens. As she listened to the children, she could not help but chuckle at the things kids say. It seems that everyone was enjoying their evening as much as Gracie was. She finished her tour of Bellingraph Gardens with the Nativity Scene, which is the reason for the season. There was one last stop - shopping at the gift shop.<br />
On the drive home she smiled to herself with a heart full of love and joy so glad that she was able to enjoy this special place with her friends again this year.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of her adventure:<br />

Well let me tell you that it is a way to get a new wardrobe for FREE! I recently hosted one and here is what I did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You want to pick a date and send out invites about 2 to 3 weeks before the actual swap. This gives the guests plenty of time to clean out their closet. I did evites and fliers to friends that I did not have their email address. Be sure to include several friends with different sizes so there is something for everyone. I also included candles and bath products and some housewares too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What to put on the evite: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> What better way to improve your wardrobe. Let's face it, we are all on a budget these days. Come join the fun and get the opinion of other women on what looks good on you. Bring a min. of 5 items. These items can be any type clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry. Please make sure the items are clean pressed and in good wearing condition. Please bring a friend or two. Please be ready to enjoy what girls do the best: FASHION AND FELLOWSHIP!! Did someone say SHOES! Refreshments will be provided along with a lot of laughter. Be sure to put the time, date, place and who is hosting it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cleaned out my closet, a time or two, and on the night of the swap I had food and wine ready when the guest arrived. I set up places to hang and place clothing, shoes, etc with signs so everyone knew where to put their goodies. When they came in everyone put their clothing in the proper piles and started socializing and eating. This went on for about 45 min to an hour which gave everyone a chance to look over the clothing selection and try on what they might like. (the shopping experience) I had a couple of full length mirrors and spare bedrooms/bath for people to change in. Opinions were shared and we helped each other pick out things that would look good on each other.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now the fun began. I had everyone draw a number from a hat to see who got to pick first. This eliminated any disagreements there might have been over someone wanting the same outfit. Each one of us picked one item. After each choosing of clothing, we put the numbers back in the hat and drew again. That way everyone had a fair chance to get a few of their first pics. After a few rounds and all the good stuff was gone then it was a free for all to take anything that might be left over. Actually this was a good thing because as everyone went through the racks and piles again they saw things that they did not see the first time around and they got more good stuff.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Friends went home with large bags of FREE clothing that night and what was left went to the Goodwill or Women's Shelter. It sure has been fun seeing friends enjoying their new outfits that once hung in your closet, never worn. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After a Monday at work....well DUH!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> It was another beautiful sunset. I have seen a bunch but I can never get tired of seeing them. We also had the added bonus of seeing the Harvest Moon rising over the Gulf about the same time as the sun was setting. What a way to relax and loose all your stress on a Monday evening. Sunset, moon rise, feet in the sand, listening to the surf, and of course... birds. I even found some shells. Hope you enjoy the pictures. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

First you invite your friends and have them bring their favorite pizza toppings. Line up the toppings and go down the line to make your masterpiece. Bake and voila the best pizza ever made to your liking. We also had homemade ice cream for dessert. You are too full at this point to eat any popcorn while enjoying the movie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hurricane season starts June 1st and ends November 30th. This year we have been blessed not to have already had a major storm. The end of last week, Tropical Storm Lee decided to visit the Gulf Coast and drop a little needed rain on our Labor Day Weekend. I love the beach and my favorite time to go is in the winter months or when there is a storm so after Church this morning we headed straight to the beach. There were still a lot of tourist in the main area and some wind surfers in the more private areas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Let me tell you it is as habit forming as popcorn and potato chips. As a matter of fact it has the crispiness of them and with salt sorta taste like them also. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJU27I4myfW-s_msFGUvGgRCr3GXrtLsmqCzfdEU6n9kHeXnhIGxvQv6om-xR0V7Zmubs7LquqhIyqzq6ne8Q_GgvSrJAFDelSOrm4w0wkKfs0xXpdHrmm5UFtTkqMl3O_XSu8WBJkbkZF/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJU27I4myfW-s_msFGUvGgRCr3GXrtLsmqCzfdEU6n9kHeXnhIGxvQv6om-xR0V7Zmubs7LquqhIyqzq6ne8Q_GgvSrJAFDelSOrm4w0wkKfs0xXpdHrmm5UFtTkqMl3O_XSu8WBJkbkZF/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> First you want to pick and wash your okra.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have you ever been blueberry pickin? I am blessed to live near a blueberry farm so I had to take advantage of that. Here is the skinny on blueberries... They are just 80 calories per cup. They contain Vitamin C, Fiber, Manganese and they are an antioxidant.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Getting out to the country is always refreshing. As I pulled into the driveway of the farm you could hear the birds singing right away. I got my bucket, that were already lined with plastic bags by the way, and walked out to the field. The bushes were overflowing with the little blue delights. In just a few minutes my bucket was overflowing from just one bush. I don't even know how many I popped into my mouth. They sure were delicious all warm from the sun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At 75 cents a pound, I got my berries out of the bucket and onto the scales. There was no charge for the ones consumed. On the drive home all I could think about was blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, blueberry pie, blueberry smoothies and just popping them into my mouth for a snack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the kitchen, I proceeded to prepare my berries for the freezer. Since you don't wash blueberries before you freeze them there really wasn't a lot of prep work to do. I spread them out on paper towels to absorb any moisture that was in the bag. Then I spread them on a cookie sheet to pop into the freezer. This will freeze your berries individually. After a few minutes I move the berries off the cookie sheet and put into freezer bags for later use. Of course I left some out for a smoothie and to share with my African Grey, Meshack. He gobbled them up so fast. What a pleasure to watch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Of course you have to sample the freshly picked bounty on the spot to fully enjoy the freshness while it is still warm from the sun. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The first thing I notice when I arrive is all the beautiful colors. Then the wonderful aroma hits my nose and I can hardly take it all in. I walk around with my basket wanting a sampling of everything but knowing I need to choose only a few items. I go to the honey shelf and grab a large jar of local honey. Did you know that eating local honey helps with allergies? I use honey almost everyday. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br />
