First Year Gardener

Hey Ya'll!! I've officially been a home owner for 2 months now! YIPPEE! And this year, in lieu of the fact that I have a yard, I've decided to try my hand at gardening. There is something very liberating about growing your own food. I was raised by a 60 year old lady (MY GREAT GREAT AUNT), my Auntie, who kept a garden every year. As a child, I would wander through her garden and look at all the pretty tomatoes growing up the vine. They were always the prettiest shade of red. I LOVED walking the dirt rows of the garden in my bare feet. There was...

Just Call Me.... Annie Oakley

Yesterday, the hubs and I suffered through took a 10 hour course to get our CHL. For those of you that aren't familiar with the lingo - that's a concealed handgun license. It's not that I feel like our Saturday was completely wasted, but quite frankly, 10 hours was a bit excessive. We started at 7:30am and could've easily had that bad-boy wrapped up by noon, having learned all that we needed to know in 4 hours. The rest was just story-telling. Unfortunately, the law requires the course to be 10 hours...

It's so nice...

Casa de Jameson

WOW! Has it been a long time since I've blogged or WHAT? Been a little busy. You remember that big, ugly, old house that I posted about before?? Well........ IT'S OURS! We moved in on Easter weekend, so the past few months have been crazy busy with packing, moving and remodeling. I'll post a few remodel pictures in the next few days, but at this very moment, I am sitting on my back porch, looking down at our ugly green pool that needs to be cleaned and watching the birds fly all over our yard. I am enjoying the break. It's nice to work...
