This is a different angle of a barn I posted back in May of 2011...taken in Spring Grove Pa.
Forced to go back into my archives for Barn shots.   Not having any luck here in Ga. Although I did see one in Orlando Fl this past weekend...just about 3 miles of Disney World...but did not have my camera...isn't that always the way!!!!

Merry Christmas From Us To U

2011-12-24T00:23:00.000-08:00

Jer n I wish all our Blogger friends a Blessed Christmas. We would like to share this heartwarming story with you. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I was just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb:
"There is no Santa Claus," she jeered. "Even dummies know that!"
My Grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole lot easier when swallowed with one of her "world-famous" cinnamon buns. I knew they were world-famous, because Grandma said so. It had to be true.
Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between bites, I told her everything. She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus?" she snorted...."Ridiculous! Don't believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad!! Now, put on your coat, and let's go."
"Go? Go where, Grandma?" I asked. I hadn't even finished my second world-famous cinnamon bun. "Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. That was a bundle in those days. "Take this money," she said, "and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.
I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people scrambling to finish their Christmas shopping.
For a few moments I just stood there, confused, clutching that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for.
I thought of everybody I knew: my family, my friends, my neighbors, the kids at school, the people who went to my church.
I was just about thought out, when I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker. He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair, and he sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock's grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to recess during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but all we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough; he didn't have a good coat. I fingered the ten-dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat!
I settled on a red corduroy one that had a hood to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that.
"Is this a Christmas present for someone?" the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. "Yes, ma'am," I replied shyly. "It's for Bobby."
The nice lady smiled at me, as I told her about how Bobby really needed a good winter coat. I didn't get any change, but she put the coat in a bag, smiled again, and wished me a Merry Christmas.
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat (a little tag fell out of the coat, and Grandma tucked it in her Bible) in Christmas paper and ribbons and wrote, "To Bobby, From Santa Claus" on it. Grandma said that Santa always insisted on secrecy. Then she drove me over to Bobby Decker's house, explaining as we went that I was now and forever officially, one of Santa's helpers.
Grandma parked down the street from Bobby's house, and she and I crept noiselessly and hid in the bushes by his front walk. Then Grandma gave me a nudge. "All right, Santa Claus," she whispered, "get going."
I took a deep breath, dashed for his front door, threw the present down on his step, pounded his door and flew back to the safety of the bushes and Grandma. Together we waited breathlessly in the darkness for the front door to open. Finally it did, and there stood Bobby.

Fifty years haven't dimmed the thrill of those moments spent shivering, beside my Grandma, in Bobby Decker's bushes. That night, I realized that those awful rumors about Santa Claus were just what Grandma said they were -- ridiculous. Santa was alive and well, and we were on his team.

I still have the Bible, with the coat tag tucked inside: it reads "$19.95."
May you always have LOVE to share,
HEALTH to spare and FRIENDS that care...

And may you always believe in the magic of Santa Claus!

This is the picture I used for my Christmas card this year. I love this barn, it belongs to my daughters neighbors. The farm has been in their family for many many years! We had our family portraits taken in front of that stone wall two years ago! I may have posted it before! Just thought it was appropriate for this time of year!

My Little Seahorse

2011-12-18T01:03:00.000-08:00

Hope you all don't mind.....but I have to brag a little here. My seven year old Grand daughter Gabby decided that she wanted to join the local swim team "The Seahorses" this year. When she started the end of September, she barely knew how to tread water let alone swim. She practices 3 times a week for one hour each time. At first she wanted to hold her nose when she jumped in and kept her head above water as she swam. Today was her fourth meet and wow...what a difference...she is swimming the correct way and getting faster every time. I didn't get her time today but I know it's better then last week. I am so tickled that she is loving this sport. She is a shy sweet little girl and this is so wonderful for her self confidence! It was a little hard to get some good shots of her because it was so crowded I had to zoom in and some shots are a little blurry!

The past three days here in our neck of the woods has been summer like! It is a welcome change from the month long rainy dreary overcast weather! I guess you could say it's our Indian Summer! The sun was the brightest of bright and the temps were balmy! It was the kind of days you just wanted to stay outdoors. That is exactly what I did too! Three of the grands just happened to be spending the night with me, so we all took advantage of the stellar weather and went to the playground. What a carefree fun day we had! Take a look!

Yikes look at the static...lol too funny!

I 'm just a big kid at heart! Guess your never too old to play on the Playground!!!!

I'm so thankful I can still do it!!!!

Shoot Me ~~34 of 52

Just Jer n I posing with our good friend Mitz. Last Saturday was her wedding day! It was a fun time and I had a few firsts that day. First of all it was my first time seeing a Bride wearing Lime Green. Second of all...instead of the traditional throwing rice/birdseed or blowing bubbles when the Bride n Groom come out of the church....we all threw purple paper airplanes!!! Boy, It's refreshing to see the non traditional at my age!!! Keeps things very interesting!!!

Look...I caught some purple planes in mid air!!! Do U see them????

It's my Blogoversary today!!

2011-09-13T00:20:00.000-07:00

Yep that's right...I have been banging out posts for 3 years now..658 to be exact!!! Wow...I can hardly believe it!!! Have I ever come a long way....from my very first post here to now. Starting this blog has been a wonderful experience for me. It has awakened a passion that has been buried deep within me. First of all, I love meeting new people n boy have I meant plenty in the blogosphere. There are so many wonderful folks out there that I feel like I know...but have never really meant them in person. This seems to be a common thread among us bloggers. I have drifted a little from writing a whole lot on my blog...that is due to my love of taken pictures. Now I participate in daily memes that gives me a chance to show off my efforts. Guess you could say the photo bug has bitten me. I love to blog hop n see the gorgeous pictures that all you great bloggers post everyday. It really does inspire me to see some of the creativity that is posted everyday on different blogs. When I put up a post and get comments...it makes my day! To think that you like what I have to say or you like my photos, means the world to me. I have learned so much in the way of technology and how to get around on my computer....how to post photos...how to take photos and now trying to learn photoshop!!! I would have never gotten this far if I hadn't started my blog. Guess your never to old to learn! Hopefully the good Lord will give me the time to keep on learning new and exciting things. Now let me go buy that IPAD....just kidding...or maybe not...hmmmmm! :)

We Will Never Forget 9/11/01

2011-09-11T00:19:00.000-07:00

Ten years ago today...we all remember where we were and what we were doing on that fateful morning. It was a beautiful day...warm n clear with a beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine. In less then 1 1/2 hours... two planes crashed into the world trade center twin towers. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC and yet another one crashed in the fields of Shanksville Pa. Those of us old enough to remember hold the events of that day ingrained in our memories forever. However, there are new generations born and will continue to be born that won't have those memories. Therefore, Healing Fields were created to help us to heal from those memories and to help all new and future generations learn about that tragic day, so our country will never forget!
The Exchange club of Hanover Pa. has organized this most inspiring healing field for all to see and pay tribute to our fallen hero's and victims that died in this horrific act of terrorism to this great country! May God bless and give us all peace!

Each flag has a dedication card with the persons name, age n where they died. It also tells you a little something about this person.

There were lots of volunteers who gave of their time to this very meaningful event

They started placing the flags in the rain at 12pm on Friday Sept 9, they had 3,0000, each one representing a lost person. This was acomplished in just two hours....thanks to all of the volunteers!
These photos really can't begin to show you how awesome this is and the inspiring feelings you get to just witness such a wonderful event.

The Rifle Salute

Taps

Taking the flag down at dusk

Today they will read the names of all the people who perished on this sad day! May we keep them in our hearts forever!!!
