Spring is around the corner here in Middle Tennessee and we have done a lot of redecorating. I will post photos as soon as I replace the camera I dropped and broke on Thanksgiving! Yikes! I often drop stuff, unfortunately. Here is a picture of an Amish auction in Scottsville KY last year. I asked my hubby to snap this picture and he thought I was nuts but I love it.

It has been too long since I have posted. Here are some pictures from a Civil War reenactment Eric and I went to in Ridge Top Tennessee near our home. It was a beautiful day just a litte cool in the shade. This horse was funny and a big ham and reminded me of the horse in the Tangled movie, Maximus,

Freedom Is Not Free
- Kelly Strong

I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
and then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of TAPS one night,
When everything was still
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That TAPS had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.

Happy Memorial Day

We remember all of our fallen heroes this weekend. A weekend of fun and remembrance for Americans.

Our kitchen Cabinet

This is our cabinet in the kitchen that I have had a blast decorating for the seasons. I am not crazy about the wallpaper in the kitchen but we are redoing a little bit at a time.

Our Living room

This lamp was purchased at an auction in Gallatin TN

More redu

This is our mantel which I hope to replace with an antique mantel when we find one. I found the frame at TJ Maxx and the card is from Barnes and Noble
