Spring has come early to the South

Just enough rain

All this has contributed to a Stunning Spring

Remember When

Remembering~Reminiscing~Rejoicing

Today I'm taking some time to Remember

As I get older I find my self doing that more and more....maybe calling it Reminiscing is more accurate. When I turned 60 I realized most of my life was behind me.

I'm still excited about each new day and my life is filled with Love and Joy but still....I Remember!

When my babies were born

A special vacation

Buying a new home

And sad things also...

Losing my Dad

Divorce

Burying a beloved pet

Still these memories are the fabric of our lives

they give me comfort that I have had a good one!

I've triumphed over hard times and made the best of the worst times. There is still much to look forward too...I have a Grandson now and he has given me great Joy!

Everyday I make new memories so

I Rejoice!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I love Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This weeks prompts were pretty easy but I did use one from my archives

1. Vintage

I found these old stamps at the thrift store

they have both numbers and letters

I loved the look of them

2. Word or Quote

Being called Grandma is the best word in the world right now!

3. Nature's Own

Dogwood tree starting to bud and bloom

4. People

This is my one archived photo taken last summer at the World's Longest Yard Sale

5. Photographer's Choice

I didn't see my Grandson this week or I would have a photo of him (since he is my favorite subject :)

So Charlie Kitty who is my second favorite subject

said OK if you must!

I hope you will go my Ashley's Blog

Ramblings and Photos

and check out all the wonderful photos each week

Listen To The Quiet

I love sound! The sound of laughter! My girls calling me Mama. The gurgles and sounds that my sweet Tiger makes. The purrs and meows of Charlie Kitty! Music that makes my heart sing!

But I also love to listen to the Quiet!

Mr ALC and I had a little getaway to the

N. Georgia Mountains last week

We stayed at the Lodge in Amicalola Falls State Park

Being mid-week and early March there weren't too many people....peaceful

We took a drive to Brasstown Bald which is the highest natural point in the state of Georgia

It was empty. No one there but us.

The views were amazing even on a somewhat cloudy day. Still very brown as spring has not reached here yet...it was beautiful in it's own way

So Quiet!

I listened to the Quiet and felt a wonderful peace flow through my body. Our lives are so full of sound and here there was only the wind and the birds

My body, my spirit and my soul relaxed!

Do you ever listen to the Quiet?

I took a little mini-getaway to Amicalola Falls and was hoping to get all my photos for this Scavenger hunt there. I did get three of them and had to find other photos for the last two! It was a fun hunt this week!

1. Water

I took some photos of the Falls but the light was so bad that nothing came out really well. This was at the bottom of the fall and I loved the shadows and floating branches.

2. Light

This is my favorite photo of the series

This was taken in the Lodge looking out the huge windows on a very foggy morning

3. Chocolate

I found it amusing that they sold their own 'chocolate bars' in the gift shop

4. Animal

I wanted to take a picture of some deer we saw but it was dusk and just did not happen. So Charlie posed for me in his comfy bed. Almost as much cat hair on it as on him!

5. Crowded
