The Smell of Spring

Mr. Bellingrath once said “The Gardens are like a beautiful woman with a different gown for each week of the year.” With the camellia blooms in winter, the azaleas in spring, roses in the summer, chrysanthemums in autumn and our famed Magic Christmas in Lights during the holiday season, Bellingrath Gardens and Home is a 65 acre estate of year-round beauty.

What a fun day we had enjoying not only the beautiful garden, but also enjoying being with family! Mom is not confined to a wheelchair. It just helps her not get so tired out and also helps to cover ground faster. Photo: My older brother, my sister (in law), hubby, Mom (seated) Me and my older little sister.

Mixing Generations and Cultures.........

One of the things I know is that God is faithful in all areas of our lives. Depending on what we are in need of, whether it is spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially or economically, those needs will be met. God used a group of young men to meet the needs of a Grandmother who needed a little extra love and encouragement to make it through times of transition. God used a Grandmother to reassure a younger generation that they can make it through life with the Lord’s help. What special moments of sweet fellowship!

Who Dat and more.....

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints on their win at the 44th Superbowl!Even though a Manning was playing on the Colts team,I had to support the neighbors in the Superbowl. Congrats Who Dat! 31-17

On a side note, last week I took the boyz to a livestock show at the Dixie National Rodeo.After walking around a while, we stopped in the capitol for them to take a look at our capitol building. The legislature session had dismissed for the night and the lawmakers were leaving, we met the Lt Governor coming down the steps. He stopped and introduced himself to us and welcomed us to the Capitol. For some reason I have photos of the boys with livestock, but didn't ask to make a photo of the boyz and the Lt Gov. They boyz were so excited to have met him, that they had to call their home country and tell their family that they had met the Vice President of Mississippi!
