As I think of decorating our home, I really like to go with simple, clean, white (with a few splashes of color), historical features with touches of farm style. Farm style would consist of old heart pine wood, antiques (but not too many), galvanized metal and cast iron, old quilts, white dishes, enamelware, and SIMPLICITY! This is an old hunting sign that came from my husband's home place. The barn wood star came from an old corn crib in Virginia and the metal decor on the wall is from my mother's home place and our time in Mississippi.

I have painted everything I can possibly think of with chalk paint even fabric, so why not my kitchen cabinets. I know because I didn't prep the first couple cabinet doors correctly and the paint doesn't look as good.- Since I live in South Georgia and it's hotter than a "cat on a hot tin roof", you must paint somewhere cool. After reading many blogs about painting cabinets conventionally, it was quite disheartening to read about the thousands of steps it would take to get that manufactured painted cabinet look.

Yes, the time of being in the hospital with both of them was very hard to endure, but they aren't in that hospital any longer. Especially with losing my mama first, I have really had a hard time dealing with my dad's death because I don't have mom here to help. Over and over again I would see my parents in the hospital and in the nursing home and relive the struggle and that's just not a good thing to focus on-it was very sad to watch. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ….. a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance."

So, come along with me and let's take a walk and talk a little. So ladies, let's live a little. A friend of mine that I had not talked to in months (she didn't know about my dad's last journey) had called me and left several messages for me. I said, "Sandra, my daddy just died and I don't know what to do."
