I'm From the Country.....

Hold onto your hats
as this is going to be a long one....


although I love our little town
and living thisclose to everything
a part of me will always be a country girl

if you know my story
you also know that most of my week-ends
growing up
were spent on my grandparents farm

this shot was taken there
along with the next 3



it truly is a beautiful spot
I call it my little piece of heaven...

this is me and my Dad
as you can tell ~ I was not impressed
at all!

these ones now ~ are kind of cute!

we had a swing in the barn
Grampy would open the big double doors
and I would swing for hours and hours

I do tend to gravitate
towards shots like this



they bring out the country girl in me

oh what I would do to see a field full of bluebells!

so I cannot mention my country roots
and not include one of my loves
country music

I was raised on Charley Pride

and Patsy Cline

this is a little party
circa early 80's
there was a lot of singing and dancing
going on that night!

Over time ~ new acts would come and go

George Strait is an alltime favorite
along with

Alabama

Alan Jackson

Brooks & Dunn

Tim & Faith

Garth & Trisha
I was so excited when they hooked up
really!!

and newer acts like

Keith Urban
and

Lady Antebellum

I made note of these guys a couple of years ago
and I am so pleased that they are doing so well.

so dust off the guitar
and do some pickin' and grinnin'

take a walk down a country road

pluck out a piece of hay
and stick it between your teeth
and you will be all set!

Thank you once again
for letting me ramble along
and share some of my loves.
