Time Travel Thursday 8-9-12

1962,

• the year of the Cuban missel crisis with the Russians and JFK
• folk music evolved to protest music thanks to artists like Bob Dylan(does anyone understand him?)
• A new hit  tv show was on prime time: The Beverly Hillbillies(my personal favorite)
• James Bond became an instant legend in 1962 with his first movie, "Dr. No."(does anyone drool over the new James Bond: Daniel Craig like I do?  Man, he is HOT!)

And,
my mom had her 3 little girls photographed by Olan Mills

Matching dresses and cute as buttons.  Look at their chubby little hands! My twin and our little sister weren't even a sparkle in my parents' eyes yet....what a cute set of little girls!

A few years later, this photo was taken. 1964

Come by tomorrow for some more Puddin N Pie!

Hold on Sunday, I ain't ready for Monday

Happy Sunday Ya'll!
Today I will travel a bit up the road to visit my mom and sister who where in a head-on car collision last week.  Before you panic, they are both ok.  Remember I have the cutest mom on the planet and that cuteness  translate to resilience. Margie, my sister, has a jammed thumb and mom has a cracked rib.

They are both healing, but still need to take it easy.  Me and my twinny are going to visit today and do some housework.

I wish I could be there everyday for my mom and dad.  Seems like a lot of pressure is on my sister Margie.  What to do, what to do?  Send up prayers and healing thoughts to these two very special ladies!

Card pattern 152

Hello All,
It's been a crazy busy world in the Girl Scout cookie business this week.  Cookies were delivered last week....I should post some of those pictures.  Watch for a posting this week.  Additionally, I've had a whole bunch of other things going on and I have so missed visiting the blog world.

Here's my entry into the Card Pattern weekly challenge.

I challenged myself to be more creative this year...to enjoy playing with my new cricut machine and to participate in more challenges.  Soooo....here's my entry:

Simple, yet elegant. One of my favorite laces on the planet. Should have taken a close up of it.

Every year for several now, I have celebrated  "Love your sister" day  I am pushing for it to become a National Holiday.  One day...one day!  They have fathers day, mothers day, grandparents, bosses day, secretaries day, ground hog day, why not Sister Day!  

remember, I'm the cute on in the front.....

Here are my other 4 sister's cards.

A little over the top with embellishes, but hey, why not!

for the crossword puzzle lover.

I love the banner, the brown and blue and the little bird perched on the heart.

simple and a little quirky.  Was trying a little something different.

See you tomorrow!  (it's Saturday!)

I'm Thankful for!

Just a FEW of the things I'm thankful for!

Slow down Sunday! I ain't ready for Monday yet!

What a week I've had!  Everhadoneofthoseweekswherethedaysaresofilledwithbusinessthatyoucantellonedayfromanother!?
Thats the week I've had!
I really want to rest and relax today!

The twins with little sister, nancy, circa 1970

It's getting kind of chilly around TN these days.  I guess I'll need to break out the hand muff and matching hat.  Poor little sister, Nancy, didn't get a muff to wear with her hat! Today she still wishes for a muff.  Maybe I should find one for her!?  Would that be fun if I could find a vintage muff on ebay! I guess I have a project now!  Good thing my little sister doesn't follow this blog--otherwise she might know what her xmas gift is! 

Soo, what's on your plates today? Not literally--or maybe so--leave me a comment--tell me what's going on with you.  Tomorrow I'll leave you a posting about all the work I'm doing today! 

Remember to stop here...for a giveaway! You have until Monday evening to get your comment in or to become a new follower!

Tea time among the gravestones

Annual Confederate Cemetery Tour in Nashville's historical Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

This looks like a scene out of a movie.  But, really, this was taken by me with a point and click camera. I'm soooo proud.  These were tour guides hanging out before it was time for their tour to begin.  Pretty neat huh?

Mausolem of  adelicia acklen THE richest woman of her time. Plus the historian told us she was the first woman to make her soon to be hubby sign a prenuptial agreement.  She was a very smart woman!!

 Actor portraying Adelicia Acklen.

My twinny and little sister, Nancy.

 Another set of sisters: Sphinx sisters

 The MR looking handsome, as usual!

A wingless angel watching over the dearly departed.

You have one more day to get your name in the hat for the this week's tags!  Remember Sookie Horn will pick a winner on Tuesday:

Getcha Some,
Puddin n Pie
