Travel Part 1 - Martin, Georgia

Sometimes it is good to get out and see a new perspective on things.
That is when I grab my DH and the truck keys and go on a trip.
We visited a little town in north Georgia called Martin.

Martin is a beautiful little town with a railroad track running through
the middle of it.  Stop with us awhile and take a little break.  Enjoy
the quiet and the shade trees.  Here are a few of the houses we saw.

Next door to this house is a beautiful little two story cottage.

Across the street, you see this large clean well kept home.

Then there are mysterious ladies hidden behind the trees.  This is a
large home you will miss if you don't slow down a bit.

This house I can almost hear the screen door sweak open
before I'm handed a cold mason jar full of ice and lemonade!

There is something about Martin that I really like.  I'm not exactly sure

what it is.  But I do like the brick work on the side of one of the store fronts.

This home has a beautiful rock wall in front of it.

Time to get back on the road.  Glad you stopped and took a break
with us!  I'll post more pics of the trip tomorrow.  Until then......
Love,
Lottie

Still Some Pink Left = Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

There are only a few pinks in the yard
this week.  The roses are blooming
and the pink azaleas by the front door
are starting to bloom!  I love this time
of day when the work is done and I
can sit on the doorstep and enjoy the
breeze.

If you have time, visit with Vanessa awhile at Vanilla Lavender. I really

enjoyed her Pink Saturday and entire blog!

For more pink, visit with Beverly at

How Sweet the Sound.

Lottie

Water, Water, I Love It!

I've mentioned in my blog before that a few  years ago I made a list of
everything I loved.  Close to the top of the list was swimming!  Since
then I have joined a water aerobics class and one year I went to water
aerobics 3 times a week.  I was never more fit, felt better, looked
ten years younger, and my brain even felt young (if that makes sense).

I love the pool, the lines on the floor of the pool, and the plastic lane
ropes.  Most of all I love the feel of the water as I move constantly!
I  .......seem to be in an extreme state of bliss....

I go to the YMCA pool in my town.  Some of the other ladies travel
from as much as 30 miles away to come to water aerobics.  Really,
when I  am splashing around out there, I feel like I'm the happiest little
ten year old girl!  And the pounds just disappear!

I hope you have a chance to spend some time in the water!
Love,
Lottie
