Tail of the Dragon ~ June 2015

This video was taken on Tail of the Dragon...it's only a partial video (10 minutes).  Anyone that's ever been on this road knows that this video doesn't do it justice.  Crazy curves / switchbacks.  Fun times!

Travel
This picture is from a trip we took in 2009 to Charleston, SC.  The trip was awesome!!!  We did a lot of sight seeing and pretty much wore our selves out doing it...but had so much fun in the process. The fountain had a sign that actually said to get in it...so we did...well at least Kristin and I did.  :)

Time

This picture is one of my favorite quotes about time.... #truth

Food

Food - glorious food!  If it wasn't for some of the gross stuff out there (like seafood) I could easily be considered a foodie.  Several years back Ron and I visited Memphis, TN and I made it a mission to eat as much BBQ as possible.  Before heading to Memphis we stopped in Clarksdale, MS.  After visiting the famous crossroads (you know the story, right?) we grabbed lunch at Abe's BBQ.  OMG - this might have been the best BBQ I have EVER had!!!  If you get the chance you have to eat there! Here's a link to their place: http://www.abesbbq.com/

Animal

Now you know what animal I will be posting a picture of right???  I will post a picture of Diezel every chance I get.  :)  Instead of a current picture though, I thought I would post one from one of the first days he was with us.  He was such a tiny little thing! I have a stuffed dog under a table in the living room...and it didn't take him long to find it. He loved this stuffed animal.  I think it made him feel like he was with his Mama or siblings...and he's still a snuggler. 

 Cell phones

The last photo for this post is cell phones.  Cell phones have almost become a part of our anatomy. Almost everybody has one - even very young kids. They have evolved from being a device that just makes or receives a call to a tiny computer that fits in the palm of your hands.  Amazing!!!  Cell phones started as huge bricks...then got smaller and smaller...and now they are on the trend of getting bigger again.  Check out this evolution:

Some special memories...

A memory from 2002... This is one of my favorite memories from when we went on the the hunt for snow. We didn't find much snow on that trip but we sure had FUN!

Inspiring Person - River is a fantastic author who I've had the pleasure of knowing for several years. In fact, we actually worked together in another life. River has inspired me from day one...first in how she dealt with difficult people in trying times (she knows who I'm referring to I'm sure) and mostly in her ambition and success with becoming a best selling author. She continues to push me and encourage me to finish my novel...and I swear one day I will! Thanks for always inspiring me @realriverjordan ! 

Weekend - Nothing says weekend more to me than time spent with my furbaby. I know a lot of people probably get tired of all the pictures I post of Diezel but pictures are the window to the soul and this boy makes my soul happy! There's nothing I love more on the weekend than spending time with this boy. He loves unconditionally and makes me a better person by loving him. 

One of the coolest modes of transportation I've taken is the Amtrak train when we went to DC in 2013. 
It was AWESOME! Can't wait to travel that way again.

Sons of Anarchy - The Official Collectors Edition
I just received this book as a gift from my hubby for Christmas. There are many that may not appreciate this book as much as me because they didn't appreciate this show the way I did. The show has just ended it's 7 season run...and I was sad to see it end. I watched every episode...frequently asking myself why...and always going away processing what I had seen. Through all the violence and gore depicted in the show there was also love and honor...and a deeper meaning of what family really is (or should be). For this reason I know I will enjoy this book for a long time to come. It will help me relive some of my favorite moments in the show and will keep me excited for the prequel that is headed our way. ... As the crow flies straight... #SAMCRO
