May 2010

I woke up this morning with plans for a pretty full day. I wanted to go fishing in the pond belonging to my daughter and son-in-law. Later, I planned to run into Greenwood and purchase groceries and supplies. Of course, the very first thing in our house is to tend to the babies.

9:15 am - Trying to encourage our new baby, Sissy, a long-haired

weiner, to come down the stairs and go outside.

Today is Sissy's 14 week birthday.

9:18 am - Sissy thinks Pepper, a wire-haired weiner, is her mommy. She pesters poor Pepper beyond belief and Pepper shows tremendous patience.

9:30 am - The entrance arbor to our back yard is covered with Jasmine. The flowers have the most beautiful fragrance.

9:33 am - This magnolia really smells good, too.

10:45 am - Got my trusty golf cart loaded up to go to the pond and try to catch some dinner for tonight.

11:20 am - I spent 12 minutes wearing this fish out, he wore me out, too. Just after I took this picture, I cut the line, did a little fishey CPR, and sent him on his way. We don't eat grass carp.

12:10 pm - I've got enough fish for dinner, time to reward myself with a cold brew.

2:10 pm - Headed to Greenwood and passed this sign leading to "Promised Land." Yep, that's the name of the community!
2:35 pm - Wally World (aka Walmart) the store that has everything from donuts to diapers.

3:40 pm - I ran the aisles as best I could, got a buggy full to load in the truck.

4:05 pm - Charlie B's. Gas and Fried Chicken.

6:37 pm - Fried Crappie (also known as speckled perch,) Hushpuppies, Collard Greens and Cheese Grits. Yum, yum!

Bonus Picture - I just couldn't leave out a picture of Annie, our curious kitty.Thanks for stopping by. Now go check out Chad's site and links to other 12 of 12 sites.
