How Many Eggplant Photos Can I Post???

 

It is so hot and humid here that I can’t breathe . . .

A little asthma coupled with cornfields on all sides of my home keeps me

captive until we get some weather relief . . .

 

Michael and I  picked this cute little eggplant trio and some cherry tomatoes . . .

He spent the afternoon finishing the mowing that I started earlier this week.

 

 

Aren’t they cute???

Their diminutive size reminds me of my Mom . . .

not that she was diminutive . . .

she just had to pick things before they were really ready to pick!!!

 

We always had those teeny tiny potatoes that you see now

being advertised as organic baby potatoes . . .

Not . . . she just couldn’t wait for them to get any larger!!!

Good memories ! ! !

 

 

That nice smokey effect on these photos . . .

My camera lens was fogged because it was so hot and humid . . .

I made these photos at 8 p.m. on my porch . . .

I never managed to get it completely unfogged.

 

My little eggplants all dressed up in a Kim Klassen texture!!!

It makes a mama proud!!!

The Parthenon In Nashville, TN

 

The following photos are NOT the Parthenon . . .

they are just random shots

made in downtown Nashville.

The at&t building is known as the “Batman” building . . .

a local landmark.

Pretty cool building isn’t it ! ! !

Not much going on here in West Tennessee right now . . .

other than the “HEAT” and it is really busy keeping

us close to the a.c.

I LOVE AC.

I’m A Confirmed Thriftaholic . . .

. . .aka cheap!!!

I’ve been collecting flatware/silverware

for quite a few years and I have a lot of spoons.

 

I found this via Pinterest...it costs $750, what do you think???

I think I should go shopping for some more flatware/silverware.

Don’t you???

What a way to have a “good excuse” for thrift shopping!

“Elvis Has Left The Building”

When you live in a small rural community life can get

a little complicated and sometimes scary. 

Then your neighbors show up . . . and help you out.

Saturday night we attended a small community benefit for one of their

young men who had been hurt in a work accident.

Everyone volunteered their time and work... even ELVIS . . .and

 

he had a little sidekick  (Elvis trainee I think).

Look at that shiner ! ! !

It was great and we had a blast.

I’m sharing some of the photos I got.

This was held in the local volunteer fire station and yes,

that is a Christmas tree in the background,

I’m sure they were just getting ready a little early  :-) ! ! !

 

On a sidenote, this little community was completely destroyed

a couple of years ago by tornadoes.

 

Peeps, this is  The “Real” America!!!

 

. . .but maybe not the “real” Elvis . . .

 

Hey Linda, look at your little sister!!!

 

“Elvis trainee”

Wooo weee
