Have you ever met real live “Chicken Farmers”?

 

Meet Ron and Tina…

Professional chicken farmers for Tyson Foods in Union City…Now what were you thinking when I mentioned chicken farmers???

We had breakfast with the “farmers” and some other friends last Saturday morning at a great place in South Fulton, TN. called “Pappys”.

Meet “Pappy”…yeah I know…doesn’t look like a Pappy to me either…

Now here are the ladies that make Pappy’s such a special place…Angie, Dottie, Katie and Lynn. (I know I have their names topsy turvy)

The entire restaurant was celebrating Mrs. Dottie’s 70th birthday!!!

See her corsage and her beautiful co-workers…how could you not love a restaurant that treats their employees like this???

We were invaded by someone disguised as a “?????” …not too sure what he was but I laughed because it was such a typical boy thing to do…

and last but certainly not least is our cute waitress…Thank you for putting up with a bunch of adults that acted like teenagers and enjoyed every minute of it…

 

I got to meet these beautiful sisters…and they invited me to take their Mom’s photo!!! I’m looking forward to this because their Mom is ninety-one years old and has fourteen children!!!

They told me about celebrating their Mom’s ninetieth birthday…at the Hampton Inn reception center in Union City. The daughters and the Mom rode to the party in a limousine and they were bubbling with those memories. Wasn’t that a wonderful way to celebrate a ninetieth birthday!!!

We had a wonderful time at our breakfast meeting at Pappy’s and look forward to doing it again!!!

Mosaic Monday at Little Red House…

Happy 70th birthday Miss Dottie!!!

Wake up….it’s a rooster party

Update…I missed the Rooster Party so now I’m trying for Tablescape Thursday…

Please visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for some real tablescapes!!!

Barb at http://barbsgoodlife.blogspot.com/ is having a Rooster Party…so I’m scratching up a post….

Roosters are colorful barnyard fowl…with distinct personalities…

 

These two rule the roost at Thoughtfully Blended Hearts…

 

Their cohorts are providing colorful placemats…(actually dish towels that can be used as placemats or napkins)

 

 

Amber stemware…(maybe its golden)…

Red chargers, flower and cream plates, golden salad plates and little chicken bowls…

 

Green tole tray…

 

Rooster salt and pepper shakers…

Gold salad plate is a vintage Fiesta piece…

 

Jewel tea plates…

Colorful little hen bowls…

 

Gold pressed glass stemware and thrifted silver….

 

 

Thrifted silver…the center spoon is monogrammed…

It’s the hens that keep the world spinning… :-)

I love photography and blogging…

My new passion is photography, and I love posting my photos on my blog. I’ve spent a lot of time and work on my blog and I’m pretty proud of it. It may not be much to many but it’s mine and I love the opportunity to post something that I personally like so that others can see it and comment it on it if they want to. It’s a freedom that isn’t known by everyone on this planet.

More people than I’ve ever dreamed have seen my backyard since I started blogging a few months ago.

I’ve been amazed at the interest that has been shown about the white squirrels that live in my backyard…

and my love affair with this little ten pound ball of fluff…Zoe.

My son, and I are going to a large Southern city to pick up my best friend…

Me…

and this handsome son of mine, Justin (No, Zoe has to stay home with Buddy and Daddy),

and this lovely lady… Jackie. (She’s taking time off from her guy and her job as a nurse practictioner)

Then we’re flying to the capitol of our nation.

To show our support of what this country means to all of us---we’re going to DC…

Just couldn’t help myself, one of my photos of a sign from a tea party this summer…

This is what we believe…and because of our freedoms, I can post these photos of mine …on Thoughtfully Blended Hearts…

We want to preserve this…

and most importantly “THIS”…

We are thankful in every way for those who died for our freedoms!!!!

We are thankful for heroes like these two who survived.

This is what we’ll be doing…

We will be standing up for our country….standing up for you, whoever you are, whatever your beliefs are because…

For more information about where we are going … go here…hopefully I’ll see ya there!!! If you’d like to leave a note I’ll print them and deliver them to my reps. in DC.
