Pam in TN., Coincidence, Rockhounding, Flowers

 

A couple weeks ago I got a message on 
a post from Pam in TN. 
No silly, not me Pam but another
Pam. Pam however is not a blogger apparently
but she apparently reads blogs but
does not comment...

UNTIL NOW!

Pam if you are reading this, 
thank you for you comment and for 
taking the time to say hi.
Please, leave a comment anytime.

Anyway, this is what Pam had to say.




I’m a long time reader but never commented. I live in Donelson. Just wanted to tell you all my husband’s family is from down where you are living now. His mother’s family lived on Little Lot Road and his Dads family lived on Prim Springs Road. You had to drive across a creek to get to this Grandmothers house on Primm Springs Rd. Was down that way almost weekly back when they were all alive. My husbands parents lived in the “bonnas” for awhile until they passed away. Sadly my husband passed away last August. We were married 56 years.


Wow....and the world just keeps 
getting smaller and smaller it seems.
Again, Pam thanks for commenting.
For those that are not Pam or I,
Donelson is the town next to Hermitage
where I grew up. Matter of fact, I lived
in Donelson when we moved from Fort 
Campbell Ky., for a yr. I actually went to 
the Donelson Senior Citizens building
for FIRST grade. haha..
It was an elementary school then.
Pam, we lived on Emery.

Now we bounce back to me living
in the same area that Pam's hubs family
was from. Little Lot is just down off
Hwy 100 maybe 10 mins from here
and Primm Springs is down Hwy 7 about
maybe 15 mins. Then coincidently, Pam
reads my blog and knows this area. 
Like I have stated before, this is a rural
area and although Hickman Co. is large,
people are spread out and not
on top each other.



That is not all...
a few weeks ago, I also got
a private message on FB from someone
that does rock hounding. 
Rock hounds are us folks
that can't walk past certain rocks,
we even go out hunting rocks and like
me, they come home with rocks in 
their pockets.
I have always been someone
that walked with my head up so 
I could see the world. Now, 
I walk looking down for rocks.


Okay, moving on. The private message
I got said that this woman lived in 
Az., and that she had family here that
she was coming to visit in Aug.
She follows the same rock hounding
page I do on FB. and she wanted to know
where was a good place to 
go hunting. Yikes, so sorry I really
could not help, only being here a short
while, I am not that up on these places.
Course, I am new to the hounding also.

CRAZY...who knew moving to a place
I had not heard of could create
so many coincidences.
Not me..

So since I am here in my new area,
with such a blank canvas to play with,
I am making it my own.
My Brown Eyed Susans that
came back from last year have
done amazing.

And look at my flowerBED.

Just wishing that more would bust
out in bloom at once.


These Japanese beetles are a pain 
in the rear.


This one is hanging on for
dear life!

When I started this post
about three days ago
the pic of the flowerBED was
taken, however, Friday 
morning, this is what it looks 
like.
Now, isn't that the prettiest
flowerBED?
I am trying to get 
the whimsy added to the 
yard!

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

Another Chilling Day - Brothers HOuse

Image
House/dog/bird sitting at my brothers house.  Of course this was Lily's first trip there. Dakota  has house sat with me many times.  Lily was not too sure what to think about Ms. Lola. She loves the ledge at the large windows! My brother has some really pretty sunflowers.....all about to give it up for the summer. Wasp drinking from the hummingbird feeder. Just wondering if these are hot... haha...I will pass on trying them  out though. Bell pepper hiding from  view. Check out the spider web. Loving this shot with the barn in the  background.  This is a form of a bush called Datura stramonium ,  known by the  English names   jimsonweed  or  Devil's snare , the seed pod.  Lily pads. Another bell pepper. Hovering over the pond. My sis in law has been canning.  Messi...
