Didn't She carry Herself Well?

Navajo Now?

Trivial question to the Southern fashionistas out there...

Can you wear your Navajo's after Labor Day? 

My take on it is that if the shoe is trimmed in white, it's a no-no.

If  you have darker colors and the weather is still hot as blue blazes, go ahead and wear them!

What's your take on this oh, so not important matter?

Thank you, thank you very much!

I won an award! How honored I feel. Thanks so very much to Tickled Pink.

She is such a kind blogger.  I enjoy reading her inspiring and fun post.  

When you accept this award, there are a few rules that go along with it. They are as follows:

1. Put the logo on your blog
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs 

(well, I can't do 7 just now, but I've got a start with 4!)
4. Add links to those blogs on yours
5. Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs

Here are my picks:

Pearls and Grace-she IS an angel, I promise!  (She's having a baby and may not be updating just now.)

Cote de Texas-this gal has great taste.  I'd hire her any day.  If she ever has a book sale.  I'm there!

Shabby Princess-funny, funny, spunky gal.  A treat to read.

The Rauths-so sweet, kind and enjoyable.  

I encourage you to go visit these other blogs, if you don't frequent them already.  It's this great networking that opens us up to new friends and fun reads!

Ahhhhh!

I STILL haven't downloaded my Blackberry Farm pictures! I'm so sorry! I know that there are several of you itching to see them. I PROMISE a HUGE post as soon as I get them onto the computer! In the mean time, here are two.
The pond and mushrooms.

They grow the mushrooms onsite. It's a fascinating, time consuming process. They cut logs, soak them, drill holes in the logs, and place spores in the holes. When a whitish fungus appears--you'll have delicious mushrooms in about a week!

Hope yall had a great Labor Day Weekend!

Nice Closet

Well, maybe we should call this a dressing room. A place for everything and everything in it's place!

The Shack--any readers out there?

Have any of you heard of THE SHACK?

I've just started reading it. Now, don't spoil it for me if you've already read it, but I am curious as to your thoughts! Can you give me any insights without giving it all away?

-----UPDATE-----

I have completed the book and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It is a great work of fiction based on one man's spiritual journey.  I found it to be heartwarming and uplifting.  I definitely recommend it for those with (for lack of a better phrase) spiritual maturity.  I came away being reminded of just how powerful God's love is.  His love is humbling.     

Our book club reviewed The Shack as well.  I speak for all of them in saying that they all found it to be a winner.  If you have the time to view the author on YouTube, I highly recommend it.  Do this after you read the book.   Using the link above, start with part 4 (about 4 minutes into it) and work your way through the remaining clips (12 I think).  You will understand so many more subtleties of the book after hearing his story.   

One could truly spend hours on end discussing this book.  I'd enjoy doing just that, although my time doesn't permit me to do so.  If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to discuss them.  

Kitchen Part 1

Have I mentioned that I am in the process of completely remodeling a kitchen?

If you go back to two of my earlier post, you can see a sampling of my inspiration photos. Just click on "Lovely Kitchens" in my Lables section to the left.
