Friends Met While On A Country Ride

I love the country...was born and raised a country gal and proud of it. I love to just grab my camera, stop by the country store on the way out and grab me a real Coke. Now, what may you be asking is a real Coke...it is the kind of Coke, the one and only kind as my Father would tell you, if he was still with us (Miss You Dad)...A 8oz. Coke in a glass bottle straight out the drink box filled with ice and cold water to keep them cold. This past summer I got hooked on them. I would usually grab 2, as I never knew how far I might wonder or how long I might be gone. On one of my excursions I had the pleasure of meeting this gorgeous couple and they were kind enough to pose for me. You might notice in the background...hiding behind the tree is a rather large bull, who refused to have his picture taken. Little does he know that I got one of him anyway. You see, he thinks he is well hidden, so let's not let him know otherwise, because he is a lot bigger than you and me and I truly don't trust the barbed wire fence that stands between us. Well enough for this time. I really wanted to see if I could post a picture, so hopefully this will work and you will be seeing more of me and more of my pictures. Thanks for letting me drop by.

Happy Blogging

I Did It! I Did It! I Am Officially A Blogger

First let me say that I am here, because my daughter, BellaDella of BellaDellaFarms got me hooked on Blog land! I have been lurking around for a long time and some of you know me already from Kimberly's Blog.

I am a country gal through and through. I love the simple things in life and I appreciate the person that I have grown to be. That would not have been possible if not for my family roots. I have to give a very special thanks to my Mama, Kimberly's Granny and my husband's Mom, Kimberly's Grandma Della, who was my wonderful mother-in-law and to those of you who read Kimberly's blog, BellaDellaFarms, she will often refer to her guardian angel and that would be her Grandma Della, who she loved and treasured so much.

I love all and anything country. I love when things are not perfect and show what I call their love marks...crazing, a chip, fading, a crack, etc. This just means that the item has a story to tell. It means that it has been used and loved by someone else. The imperfections make me smile and ponder the road it has traveled and the many hands that may have held it. How far has it traveled? Was it a gift from someone special? How many stories has it overheard? I feel it, touch it, hold it, look at it and I love it.

I look forward to my travels in Blog Land and meeting lots of wonderful people. I do hope our paths will cross.

Sit a spell, heat up a cup of tea or coffee and put some cookies on that special old saucer and visit your friends in Blog Land.
