Thanksgiving Blessings

What a beautiful Thanksgiving Day here in Tennessee. Unusually cooler than normal, but sunshine was plentiful. I was richly blessed to be among family and friends. I said a prayer
for the less fortunate, thought of loved ones which were having their great feast in Heaven,
though deeply missed at our table. The Lord is good, and he guards our feelings
in times as these. So, I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving my friends, with
fellowship and love.

A Brief...... But Pretty Snow

 

 

Old man winter came blowing in yesterday, arriving early for us here

in the south, leaving a dusting of snow.

A Beautiful Fall Day For A Ride On The Backroads



 

This past Thursday, my friend, Debbie, came over for a much needed girls day out. 
After a delicious lunch at Logan's Roadhouse, we decided to hit the backroads on this beautiful fall day. Catching up on overdue conversations, laughter, and the joy of a true friend by your side, what else could one want for?

We love the country life. Especially, old barns,  farm houses, and like to visit old cemeteries dating back in the early eighteen hundreds.


One of the houses we wanted to see the inside
of. We could just hear the squeaking of the old steps, and the walls wanting to tell their
stories..

The sun glistening off the trees. The farmland putting on a show of its many colors.

GUITARS FOR VETS TO LAUNCH NASHVILLE CHAPTER
WITH HELP FROM GIBSON BRANDS, RYMAN AUDITORIUM
AND LYNYRD SKYNYRD
Guitar auctions raise funds online and during Veterans Day concert

(October 21, 2013) NASHVILLE, TN – Ryman Auditorium and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Lynyrd Skynyrd, will pay homage to vets with a Veterans Day celebration and fundraiser on November 11, 2013. Partnering with Gibson Brands and 105.9 The Rock, proceeds from a special auction will benefit Guitars for Vets (G4V).

Prior to the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert on Nov. 11, the Ryman will host a preshow plaza party starting at 5:00 p.m. Attendees will enjoy live music while they check out guitars which are to be auctioned online and as part of a silent auction at the concert. Puckett's "Trolley Parton" will be on site and any concert-goers riding motorcycles will be allowed to park on the Ryman drive as space allows.


 Lynyrd Skynyrd has long history of paying tribute to military veterans. The band has made donations to Wounded Warriors through the Lynyrd Skynyrd Foundation in the past. The band also dedicates their classic hit "Simple Man" to servicemen and women, past and present, at nearly every show.

"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to support the launch of this very cool charity in Nashville," said band member Johnny Van Zant. "Anyone who plays music knows the therapeutic benefit of spending time with an instrument on a regular basis. I have no doubt Guitars for Vets will have a positive impact for veterans in Music City. "

"As an American guitar maker with its headquarters in Nashville, we're honored to support Guitars for Vets in its mission here and throughout the nation," said Gibson Brands CEO and Chairman, Henry Juszkiewicz. "We've had a long relationship with Guitars for Vets through the Gibson Foundation as well as with Lynyrd Skynyrd. We couldn't be more excited that the band will be helping us kick off the Nashville chapter of a charity devoted to healing heroes through music."

"This is an incredible way for Guitars for Vets to join the community in Music City," said Outdoor Music recording artist and G4V ambassador Markus Fox. Fox is a former active duty combat Marine and is also a guitarist and singer-songwriter. "To participate in this event on Veteran's Day supported by rock and roll icons Lynyrd Skynyrd is amazing. It's something I'll never forget." Fox will perform on the Ryman plaza from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., just before doors open for the concert that evening.

Happy Fall Y'all

Fall - 2013

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.

~Albert Camus

Outside my window

Fall...my favorite time of year. Warm days, cool nights.
Sipping on hot apple cider around a crackling fire.


















Remember the childhood days of  jumping in that
big pile of leaves that it took your parents a while to rake?
                            

The view from my front porch

                                                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Memories we made...... 

Still carrying your Smile, and the best of my Love,

in my Heart.
