Day 112~
We made banana splits.
Hopefully the fact that I started walking on the treadmill today will help with all those yummy calories I consumed!

Day 107~ Home
These are all that remain of the Gulf, and later BP, sign that lit the night sky in our once sleepy little town.
My grandpa owned this station, and later my dad and uncle took over.
But as with all things, time passes and things change.
New regulations forced small business owners to either make expensive upgrades or close down.
We were the later. This bar once covered the locks. Paw Paw's motto was "We may doze, but we never close."
He chewed out more than one employee for having the audacity to even so much as close that door... even in the winter. When if the truth be told, it wasn't for the sake of audacity. It was for sheer warmth.
Now locks are the norm. I loved this cash register as a child.
Knowing the special way to work the lever and twist the handle in order to make the drawers pop open and chime made me feel so proud. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen with it's brown patina, until a well-meaning employee decided to 'clean it up'.

Day 106
And kudos to our fabulous field trip coordinator who scored us front row tickets for $11 each!
What a great day!
Although, I'm wondering if I'll ever get a shot of both my joys with smiles at the same time!
Why is that so hard?

Day 104~
I brought home all that yummy grass-fed, organic meat from my trip to Tennessee this weekend.
So tickled to finally be able to stock up on some good, healthy meat to feed my family!
ALSO, we're starting a buyers' club to buy meat from this particular farmer at Laurel Creek Farm.
So, if you're local and interested in getting more info, please contact me!
