Country Living Fair Nashville And Marburger Farms Round Top all in the same month!

Here are some pictures from back to back shows in April. What was I thinking??? After driving to Texas for Marburger Farms, a week later I packed up, and headed to Nashville for the Country living Fair.  It was my first time to do a country living show. But it was a huge success and I'll definitely do it again. Love this beautiful area of Tennessee and such nice people. So needless to say I'm pooped!!!  So no more shows for a while. Cheers, lauri

Kyle and Maggie's wedding. 9/14/14

Katie and I arranged all the florals for her brothers wedding and reception in these beautiful coral and cream garden roses. The next picture is of the brides bouquet. I used anemones and dusty miller for a pop of gray and black. Love how they turned out. 

These were the centerpieces for some of the tables I painted mason jars in shades of coral. 

It was a beautiful venue in Greenboro Georgia. 

My beautiful grandchildren Dean and Autumn.

August-a trip to the beach, a funeral, a birthday, and a wedding coming up......

This crazy roller coaster ride of life........I had always thought when I got older I would sit around and be board and travel a lot.  Nope none of that.  We always travel to the beach in August when everyone else has gone back to school and it's less crowded.  All year I look forward to this time and this year a week felt like an over night trip.  We almost postponed the trip knowing that my mother in law was failing and getting much worse.  So the whole trip my husband worried about her and felt uneasy.  We returned on Sunday and it was inevitable what would happen.  So preparing for this is never easy. At the same time trying to be excited for my sweet grandsons 4th birthday.

   Then we have his looming cloud of moving hanging over us. We just have no idea when.  One week it's on, the next month it's off.  We know we have no

desire to live in this area anymore with all the growth around us but, just can't seem to decide where to go or what the best deal is.  Do we take the offer or go with the appraisal and list.  Again that looming question, what to do.  On top of all that we have lived here 20+ years. You can just imagine how much stuff we have.  And big stuff like tractors, and trucks, an a loader.   Can't just put that stuff in any ole driveway.  So many days are filled with cleaning stuff out and figuring out where's all this stuff going???  I really never feel like I completely finish anything anymore.  I just jump around and put out fires.  Normally this time of year I'm packing up and heading to Texas for antiques week. But, no time for that either. I will miss it but I don't think I could find the energy even if it were possible. dang that must mean I'm getting old.......anyway just a quick post for now cause there's a wedding this weekend! Cheers, Lauri
