Friday Foto Finish Fiesta - Oh Baby

This adorable little girl, is me at Christmas when I was just 3 years. Also see those shiny shoes? I guess I loved patent leather shoes, because I can remember wearing them all my life. In fact I have a old pair from about ten years ago, in my closet that need to be thrown away.

As a little girl I hated to get dirty. All my life I've heard the story about the time I "ran away" from home. I was mad at my Mom and said I was running way. Mom wisely didn't argue with me, but watched from a window as I carried my little suitcase and walked down the sidewalk. It had been raining earlier in the day and there was a mud puddle at the end of the walk. She said I walked to the end of the walkway but when I came to the mud puddle, I paused, looked around then turned and walked back to the house. As I came in the door, she asked me why I had returned. My answer was I couldn't leave, I'd get my shoes dirty.



That trait did not last I'm afraid.

Brasstown Bald GA - Friday Foto Fesita

On our vacation in July we went to Brasstown Bald the tallest mountain in Georgia. As a small child my family lived very close to this mountain and North GA still holds a piece of my heart. From the base of the tower I took a picture of the parking lot and our car. It was a long way down. See the little circle around my car way down there. I am afraid of heights so standing there looking down, made my hiney tingle (as The Pioneer Woman says.) But thankfully the wall around the base of the tower is over waste high so I was actually able to stand there and take lots of picture and enjoy the view.


Here is a close up of our car


When we got back to the car I turned and took a picture of the tower. My son and daughter in law walked up the mountain. I'm not up to that so I rode up in the van, but we did walk down, and I annoyed my son all the way down taking dozens of pictures. Looking at how tiny that tower looked from the parking lot I think I was very smart.



These pictures brought back some wonderful memories of our vacation.

The Old Courthouse

When I was about four my family lived in Blairsville, GA. This past summer we vacationed there and I took some pictures of the surrounding area. I love this picture. As a small child I recall my parents taking me to town and in my memories the courthouse is always part of the picture, when I think of Blairsville. This picture makes me feel happy and reminds me of my childhood. Maybe that's partly why I love old buildings.
