I would like to apologize for not getting around to look at everyone's post in last week's challenge. I hope to make the rounds this weekend.

I'm a Southern born and raised Lady.
I've been married (to the same man) since I was 18 years old. (we were married in 1969.. I'll let you do the math)
We have a daughter and a son. We will only have grandchildren if a miracle happens. Its alright if that miracle never happens.. we have grandnieces and grandnephews to play with ever once in a while.
Update: Miracles do happen! We now have a grandson and granddaughter. They are not by blood, but they are our grandchildren and never will be referred to as step-grandchildren. Update: We now have two more granddaughters. We are truely blessed!
We spent 20 years in the US Army. I say "we" because when a spouse in the service of their country their whole family is along for the ride.
I worked in retail until my back got the best of me. Now I enjoy the company of my husband. We travel when we can.
I crocheted up until a few years ago. I mostly did toys with an afghan or two thrown in. Update: I am now crocheting again! Sometimes I do a bit of embroidery.
I used to garden in the flower beds, but now I garden in flower pots. There are a few perennials in the yard that I water and dead-head... I do miss digging in the garden.
I still like to cook a little... just a little. You can find some of my recipes here.
My biggest passions are genealogy and photography. I also love to go rving.
Here is my little Nook on the internet and I hope you enjoy a bit of what I have to say.
window in your mother's sitting room is great - does she have an older home or did she have this installed now. I love stained glass - it changes the colors in the room completely - maybe you should sit in there more often (with your mother!)
ReplyDeleteI love the stained glass. So detailed and delicate.
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on your earlier photos until I scrolled down and saw the stained glass in your mother's sitting room. Just took my breathe away Zaroga!
ReplyDeleteI love the door on your trailer. It says, "Come away with me," doesn't it? Although maybe not to Sasser... Sasser looks like it has seen better days! That's not the only way into Frank's workshop, is it? I hope you have a sturdy ladder. The room nobody sits in has the most exquisite window. I think i would be in that room frequently. What direction does it face? Lovely shoot out today! Thanks for this thoughtful post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stained glass window in your mom's 'parlor'. I do not use my living room either, but I like to have a clean room where I can invite in a surprise guest.
ReplyDeleteNorman Rockewell, such a fantastic contributor to 'Americana' institution.
Happy and safe Labor Day Weekend to you.
If I had a stained glass window like that, you bet I'd be sitting in the room!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative and eclectic mix! I love each one in their own way. The silo is really different...well, so is the travel trailor one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful windows..and WHY is there a sitting room if no one SITS in it!!?? Does that mean it just sits by itself?
ReplyDeleteYes, we had a great time at the beach. Mike does not like water so he was not that thrilled with that part..Oh well..CAnnot please everyone..right? HOpe you have a great trip..
Sandy
Thanks for stopping by too!!
My favorite is the silo. It's so mysterious. And the stained glass window is just gorgeous....so full of light. I really like your first photo also. I think you have quite a good mix here.
ReplyDeleteI love the silo and your Mom's window, too! I hope you will get to travel soon, too!
ReplyDeleteThe silo shot if my favorite! The trailer one made me realize that my summer is almost over.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old silo. Love the stained glass, too!
ReplyDeleteI always think it would be total luxury to have a sitting room that no-one sits in. Maybe the other rooms/windows are more beautiful? Love the silo windows. As always, your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe silo and sitting room, deserted, but very interesting, both in their own way. Loved the shots.
ReplyDeleteI love the old silo. What a beautiful window, you really don't see those anymore...At least not around here.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but especially the last one.
ReplyDeletethe old silo is a very cool shot. great shoot out!! vacation was fantastic, had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to sit in your mama's sitting room and enjoy that window - it's beautiful. My mom has one of those rooms also. It is all white and I think everyone is afraid to go in there!
ReplyDeleteI also like the silo shot. Farms are so photogenic!
Love the silo. Looks like one that I remember from Georgia. It still stands, in a grocery store parking lot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light on the stained glass window.
Let me know when your next trip is? Can I stowaway in your RV?
There is nothing to wish for in a great style of doors and windows. It looks like an elegant look that find its own motif. I rather think of this kind of shots than to see more of drawings which imitates the original. Every person feels they are too special which this doors and windows showed.
