Road Trip to Paint Rock Valley

My husband and I took a drive down to Paint Rock Valley when the leaves started to change so I could take some pics. I didn't get a lot--my batteries went dead and we ended up driving all the way to Tennessee to get more so it started to get dark on the way home. I did get a few good ones to share with you....its such a pretty place!

Notice I'm putting some Christmas music on here for you to enjoy--if you prefer not to listen to it, look for the link to my playlist at the top left side and you can turn it off there. But I hope you enjoy it!  And enjoy my pics below.

Cotton Field.....

   

Meet Owen!

This is Owen...he's been hanging around my house for a while and I've been dying to pet him. You can see why--he's so pretty! I assume he and the other tabby here (Luke) are littermates because they showed up at the same time, are about the same size, etc. Luke let me pet him a while ago, but Owen has been really scared. Lately he's been coming to eat with the other kitties every night and he  sleeps in the front yard now. He finally decided I could pet him, after he gave me a good swat to keep me in line! He's still scared, but doesn't he look like a big teddy bear? Like you could pick him up and snuggle with him? Maybe one day....maybe after visit with the vet coming up soon..... ;)

Hope y'all all had a good Thanksgiving! I ate too much. Besides that, it was a good one. We ate at Momma & Daddy's house and had way too much food. But I like to eat cold leftovers the next day (and the next, and the next....) We took a lemon pie to my husband's parents' and ate some of that with them. Of course I  wasn't hungry, but I ate a piece anyway! We stayed there late--it was fun to catch up and not be in a hurry!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving....and don't eat too much!  

Scenes from Scottsboro

Here are some pics I took a few weeks ago while I was driving home. The sunset was so pretty--I love this time of day! The first one was taken in Powell, the other two are in Scottsboro, right before you cross the B.B. Comer bridge. I love the views here--I try to keep my camera with me to take pics while I'm out. You never know what you might see!!!

Today's my day to babysit....

I always look forward to Mondays--that's the day I babysit my nephew, Jackson. Last week we went to K-mart and looked at Christmas decorations and he thought it was a Christmas Wonderland! lol! We had to listen to every dancing Santa and check out every aisle about 3 times while he yelled "ho, ho! ho ho!" Then when we left, he cried and kept saying, "ho, ho....ho, so". I promised him he'd be seeing lots more Christmas decorations soon. I put my trees up Sunday, so he can come over and see those. I left Sookie in the room for about 30 seconds and when I came back, she already had an ornament down and was running off with it. And Pumpkin still can't leave it alone, so they can't go in the rooms with trees unless I'm there to supervise!

Recycle!

I'm always trying to find new uses for old stuff around here...that's why I had to laugh when I saw Little Bit sleeping inside this old flour bin! I guess she's doing the same thing we are....

Trip to Kentucky

 
  These are some pics from a recent road trip to Kentucky...my husband bought a bunch of old post office boxes (really cool!) so I rode with him to pick  them up. We had a blow out on the way, but it was still a fun trip. Standing on the interstate to change the tire wasn't so good, but besides that it was fun...enjoy the pics!
