Happy Thursday lovely friends! Can tomorrow possibly be the last day of May? It is a very busy month with Mother’s Day, Ella Mae’s Birthday, Memorial Day, graduations, bridal showers, etc. I am taking a look back on the happenings of the merry month of May . In case you missed the big event of May 3rd, you can read about it here. I have an exciting giveaway, so be sure to read to the bottom of this post to find out how to enter!

Our son took this aerial photo of our picturesque city on one of our First Friday’s. Our city has done a wonderful job with these monthly events that feature food, live music, and an array of classic cars and motorcycles, and lots of fun for the entire family!

The director of Downtown Gadsden, Inc is a friend of mine and she shares photos on social media of each First Friday. I was amazed to see this 1955 Oldsmobile parked and ready for the May event. So what is so amazing about this car? My Dad owned one just like this when I was probably three or four. I am not sure I remember the car as much as I remember seeing photos of my family with the car. I showed the photo to Daddy and he said it was identical to the one he owned…just a blast from my very young past!!READ MORE

Happy Thursday sweet friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. It has been a while since I shared a this and that post. I never plan these posts, they come about from my random photos and truly just our everyday living. The months of January and February were relatively quiet.

  Hopefully it will look lush and vibrant once again this spring and summer!READ MORE

Hello sweet friends, I certainly hope your week has been going well. It is time for an update from the home front, you know the everyday living stuff. I realized it had been four months since a “this and that “ post and it is time to catch you up. Alert: There might be a few family photos. Be sure to read to the end for exciting news!

Our July and August went by so quickly with projects around our home. I know many of you have inquired about the dining room. Hopefully, a reveal will be coming soon. Other projects are underway that I haven’t even told you about. But, the best times were spent with our precious granddaughter.
