Eight years ago…

Eight years ago…9-7-01 We were a nation of naive people…thinking that we were safe…only four days later…we were attacked by foreign powers, they used our own freedoms to viciously attack us…the fredoms that so many have died and sacrificed for.

Now we have to fight for those same freedoms again…within our own country…Our country was found with religious principles which are being taken away from us….It hasn’t been an overnight takeover…it has been happening for many years. It is just now that we have been awakened !!!

The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us back to the day after 9-11-01…when we were all brothers and sisters in a united country…the way we should be now. We should all be standing and applauding the way our country is supposed to work. Freedoms, competition, freedom of speech and so many other things we have taken for granted are in jeopardy. Please God, may we stand together as true believers in your grace- for our country relies on your goodness.

Please forgive my soapbox moment…I just needed to say this…

Wishing all of you a beautiful holiday!!!

It’s a Giveaway….

I’ve been selected to give away two Wall Graphics from LargeFormatPosters.com. to readers of Thoughtfully Blended Hearts. This is a new product and the Wall Graphics are 24”x24” . You can print your own photos, artworks or patterns on your Wall Graphic. LargeFormatPosters.com. describes Wall Graphics as being similar to the Fat Heads stickers you’ve seen on TV. The new product is an innovative adhesive fabric . Just imagine a huge sticker that you can peel and stick on any flat surface!

LargeFormatPosters.com. uses the same high-quality printing for their Wall Graphics that they use for their poster prints.

The winners will have to pay $5 for handling to LargeFormatPosters.com. It sounds like a great deal to me.

I know that I have several artists who read my blog---wouldn’t your artwork be great as a Wall Graphic.

I’m going to use the following photograph that I took this summer as my Wall Graphic. Can’t you imagine how excited this young lady’s Mom will be to get this???

Okay, here’s how we’ll give two Wall Graphics away….

If you’re a follower of Thoughtfully Blended Hearts and you leave me a comment about how you’ll use your Wall Graphic, I’ll enter you TWO times. (Please remind me that you are a follower in your comment.)

If you’re a reader, just leave me a comment telling me how you’ll use your graphic and I’ll enter you ONCE.

If you’re an active-duty military wife or husband, leave me a comment telling me how you’ll use your Wall Graphic, tell me about your service person and where he/she is stationed and I’ll enter your name…..hhhmmmm….how about FIVE times.

If it sounds a little biased, it is…but it’s a small thing that I can do for the families who sacrifice so much for our country!!!

The contest will be over on Tuesday, September 8 at 8:00 am CST. I’ll announce the winners just as soon as I can.

Visit these sites for information on these products.

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!!!
