Snapshot Saturday - 12/18/10 - Susan's pick!

My friend Susan over at KardKornerKrib picked this combination -- 21 - 2 - 39.

This is the photo that she "unlocked" --

Doesn't this look yummy??!! David made these for dinner one night, this past summer. They were delicious!! We got the idea while we were visiting a new food market to our area called - Fresh Market. It is a treat to the eyes and the taste buds! We spotted some of these shiskabobs in the meat department and both of us looked at each other and said... YUM! We could have bought them already put together at the store, but we went home and concocted our own! **Smile**

Thanks for playing along, Susan!!



Snapshot Saturday - 12/18/10 - Thisisme's pick!

My friend over at Southhamsdarling picked this combination --- 2 - 3 - 4.

Here is the photo that she unlocked!

This is Chester, my 9 month old Golden Retriever. This is his favorite place to sleep --- our leather recliner! Every morning, after he & Jackson (our 8 year old Golden) have eaten their breakfast and gone outside to... well... you-know-what! .... I'll let them back in and while I am in my office, drinking my coffee and "playing" on my computer.... THIS is what Chester does! I don't ever have the heart to make him move. He just looks so cute all snuggled up, sleeping! **Smile**

And here's the photo ---

Here's David with Ashley & Miranda on Father's Day, 2008. The photo was taken at a friends house. They had invited us over to swim (the pool is to the right!) and grill some burgers. The weather was beautiful and we made some great memories that day!

See the "pop-up" camper, in the background. That's the kind that we have. This is what it looks like when it is folded down.

Ashley has on one of our VBS (Vacation Bible School) shirt and Miranda is wearing one of her high school newspaper staff shirts. Great memories!

Send me a number combination and let's see what photo you "unlock"!

Snapshot Saturday - 12/11/10 - Thisisme's pick!

My friend "Thisisme" over at Southhamsdarling picked: 43 - 8 - 42

Here's the photo --

This photo is from Ashley's 8th birthday party. The girls were having a BIG TIME ripping up the tissue paper from the gifts and tossing it up in the air!!

Ashley is the one with the flowered shirt and pink headband, on the right. That's Miranda, just behind her. She wasn't quite three, yet.

This was our "finished basement" in the house that we lived in (and LOVED!) when we lived east of Atlanta, Georgia in a town called.... Snellville.

When we moved into this house, the basement was "unfinished". David was able to "finish" it for us so that we would have a den and playroom for our family. It was WONDERFUL and I miss it! The house that we have now, does not have a basement.

The glass tables once belonged to my mother. Not exactly "kid friendly".

The blue blanket on one of the couches is hiding the CHEWED OFF arm of the couch that our first dog ate right after we were first married!! The couch was brand new, when that happened!! It was a VERY comfy couch though, and we weren't about to get rid of it.

Thanks for the great photo pick!! **Smile**

Snapshot Saturday - 12/11/10 - Susan's pick!

My friend Susan, over at KardKornerKrib, picked this combination 42 - 0 - 29.

Thanks for playing, Susan!!

Here is the photo --

This is a photo of my mom (In the white sweater) when she was a contestant in the "Miss Canterbury" contest at her previous nursing home.

Pretty neat, huh??

This was in May of 2007, two and a half years after her stroke. She was doing fairly well at this time. She wasn't walking well, but felt pretty good.

She didn't win 1st place, but came in as 2nd Runner Up. She even has a trophy to prove it!

In this picture, you see the director asking her questions... like they do in the "real" beauty pageants. On the wall, you can see photos of previous winners. 

It was a really special day for my mom. **Smile**

Here's my "combination" for today!   18 - 8 - 28

And here's the photo ---

This photo is of me and my College Sunday School Class that I teach lead. I'm 4th from the right. Ashley is next to me, and Miranda is in the pink dress. The lady standing in front was my "assistant" at the time. She is now teaching leading her own class, just for women.

This photo was taken back in the summer. A couple of these "kids" are now off at school, but I should see them over the holidays. Since then, we have also added several more to our class.

They are a GREAT group!! Of course... two of them are mine! **Smile**

This is also the classroom where I teach preschool during the week! ~ Funny, huh?

Send me your combination and let's see which photo you "unlock"!!

Snapshot Saturday - Next 2 photos!

It's time for two new photos!!

Susan from KardKornerKrib picked this combination: 7 - 9 - 19 and here's the photo ---

This photo was taken at one of our favorite beaches in Florida -- Santa Rosa Beach. It is on the panhandle, near Destin. We have a favorite campground that we go to there!

We had been there for several days and the weather was beautiful! Then... on the day that we had planned to leave, tropical storm Gustav began approaching and the weather turned "not-so-nice". We took a walk down to the beach to take a look at the storm before we headed home. We were extremely glad that Gustav waited and allowed us to have a beautiful vacation!

I took this photo in color, but was playing around with my photo editing software and that is why this one is black & white. It looks better in color!

The next "combination" was picked by Thisisme over at Southhamsdarling: 32 - 8 - 48.

This is a photo of the lake at the campground that is near our house. It is called Lake Deleanor and it is at F.D. Roosevelt State Park. We camp here as often as we can because it is so close to home!

This particular camping trip was on the Thanksgiving of 2006. For several years, we camped with friends, here. The weather could not have been more beautiful on this particular Thanksgiving weekend!! I have MANY beautiful photos that I took then!

The following two years, the weather was "not-so-nice". It rained a lot and it was cold!!! The girls and I were miserable!! I finally told David that I was DONE camping for Thanksgiving and that I wanted to be at HOME from now on.... or at least somewhere dry and WARM! **Smile**

Thanks for playing along, ladies!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Snapshot Saturday

Okay... This is a game that I am making up myself, so bare with me... please!

I love photographs and I love sharing them with others. I thought it would be fun to "randomly" pick photos from the MANY that I have stored on my computer and then tell about them.

I was having a hard time figuring out how I was going to randomly pick from all of my photos, so I decided to inlist the help of YOU, my readers. 

If you want to play along... here's what I need you to do:

Click on the "comment" button below and send me THREE numbers. 

The first number needs to be between 1-75 (I have 75 folders with photos!).

The second number needs to be between 1-10 (Some of the 75 folders have folders inside of them!)

The third number needs to be between 1-50.

When you post your comment, type your numbers like this:  3 - 8 - 24 , kinda' like a locker combination! **Smile**

Here's the picture that was "unlocked" with the combination above:

This photo was taken back in April of this year. David and I were at Stone Mountain Park, staying at the Evergreen Marriott Spa Resort for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I snuck and took this picture of where we had our "couples massage"!

I'm looking foward to hearing from you! ~ Happy Saturday!!

Here is combination "26 - 3 - 10", picked from Becca at Joy & Gladness.

This is a photo of my girls and I that was taken at our church yardsale. I believe the year was 2003. I was actually IN CHARGE of this yardsale! YIKES! It was actually fun, but a LOT of hard work! It was a fundraiser for our youth group.

We are wearing RED shirts so that the shoppers could tell us "workers" apart from other shoppers.

Ashley (sitting down) was in charge of the table where people "checked out" and purchased their items.

You're probably wondering why Miranda has a note taped to the front of her shirt! Hahaaa!! I think it said something like... "Ask me if you need help."

If I remember correctly... we raised over $3000 that day!
