Yardsale Bargains!

This was the first yard sale I have gone to this year....Below are a few finds, most of them to put in Lana's unoccupied bedroom.




Cute trash can with seashells that will match my bath perfectly....

Cute, cute stool....
I love small dishes to add to my collection

Now for a few things I already have in my home that I just love!!
Over the weekend, Mark and I took his son, Justin, to D. T. McCalls to purchase a new frig. On our way back, we stopped at this cute, cute spot to eat. Don't know the name but had great food and was beautiful on the inside. Mark and I had frog legs and Justin had ribs.
A truly Southern drink that cannot be found everywhere in the United States.....Sundrop....Justin enjoyed one on the way.

Fruits of Summer!

I found the most beautiful sights of the country last weekend. Not hard to find where I live!!

Nothing like home grown tomatoes...

An old peach basket hanging at my father-in-laws house...such memories.

One rose found there also...

Trees in the front yard looking up.


My brother-in-laws barn across the road....how tranquil looking. I love pictures of barns.

The sights of Ivy Bluff.....


Looing up through corn stalks.


Fruits of their labors.....

Barn of Uncle Houston......
Saw this guy in the distance.....


D. J. 's Birthday! What fun..

Our family helped D. J. celebrate his 5th birthday on Sunday. What a great time we all had.

At School

Look who I found while looking at the Cannon Courier on-line. Our very own D. J. Moore at Day School. Lookin' good D. J. How was that Mama????

God is so Good!!!! (: (: (:

We have begun to have a fun filled night for our children at Ivy Bluff. Last Friday night we had "movie night." They had sandwiches, chips, drinks, and lollipops. We watched a great movie called "The Reef" which was an undersea adventure. Be watching for the September event! Loads of fun are promised.....
Back to School (:

I think all of our students and teachers are now back at school. Please pray everyday that God protects our children. I am so honored to have a part in the growing process of the children I see every day at my school. As teachers, we may be the only happy face a child sees. Love them like they are your own!

Lovin' to shop sales

As my daughter says, "It's on sale", "When will you ever get it that cheap again?" Problem is I usually agree. Well, Hobby Lobby was once again visited by me. A few cute finds...this one for the bathroom:
finds for the living room: I have a small light bulb placed behind the greenery, the red glass just glows at night with it on.
Moved a pic from one room to kitchen:
Beautiful stained glass light from a friend....love it. Want one for above my dining room table.
Below is an original iron bed from my dad's side of the family. This bed was in the guest bedroom of his parents home in the early 1920's. I have done by best to clean and polish it up and have set it up in Lana's bedroom. I love it!
