Mama Bear at Bears in Exile has tagged me for the ABC meme. I wonder if I'll be able to answer them all. Let's give it a go...
It's time for Show and Tell Friday. If you would like to participate, drop over to Kelli's at There's No Place Like Home.This week I'm going to show you a print that I have hanging in my computer room. I had it made from a photo that I took in western Tennessee in 2005 when hubby, Mom and I were on our way to Arkansas to visit friends. We took a side trip and stopped at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills. It was a wonderful experience.
The print shows the mill and mill pond on Loretta's ranch and I just love this picture. Doesn't it speak of bygone days and a slower pace of life? Look out, Loretta. You may just find me moving in there one of these days. The ranch is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
When Loretta and her husband were married, they bought the house and property. The house that they lived in at that time overlooked the mill and mill pond. What a wonderful view to wake up to every morning.
Wouldn't you love to live in a house overlooking this beautiful scene? I know I would and I enjoy the print daily while I'm working on my writing, listing on ebay or blogging.
Please pray for Deena at Pretty in Pink. Deena is going through chemo treatment for breast cancer and this week was more difficult than prior weeks. I had an email from her yesterday and she is feeling better, but please continue to pray for her.
Speaking of Deena, she was kind enough to present me with the award below. She also gave it to many of her blog friends. It is beautiful. Thank you, Deena.
I would like to pass this along to everyone on my blogroll. Please check to see if your name is there. I've added some new names recently.
This also Friday Flea Market. I have a few cute things up for sale this week, so please take a moment to visit Mary's Vintage Flea Market. There are a pair of fairy ornaments, some art prints and more. Please drop in for a visit.
May you all have a wonderful and safe weekend. Remember to be kind to yourself. We all deserve to be pampered a little. ~Blessings, Mary~
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. You know it's strange that I live in Tennessee, but I have never visited Loretta Lynn's Ranch at Hurricane Mills.
Just wanted to say hi. And I agree it is a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that print... what a place to live.....maybe in heaven.....ahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteand do you sell on Ebay,, what is your id name.... I have been on there for years but in the past couple of years have been too busy to do much.. but I am building a new format for my page and hope to start up again in April.... You are a busy lady..... and I love the ABC and I will do that tomorrow,,,,, Hugs
Good job with the meme, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI love that scene in that picture! I'd be out there fishing nearly every day.
Thank you for sharing the award with us, and bless Deena for presenting it to you when she probably doesn't really feel like doing much these days.
Have a great weekend, Mary! ;o)
Love and hugs,
Diane
Hi Mary, that is a beautiful picture. I envy the person who gets to wake up and look out the window to see that every day. I grew up on a beautiful lake. I took it for granted and never really appreciated it. Wish I did now. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Now......color me green!!! With envy. No, not for the huge snowflakes outside your window...no, not at all. You can have that. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm filled with envy for the wonderful print you have....and it's Loretta Lynn's ranch? Oh my oh my...more envy.
It's beautiful. That would be so nice to have by the computer....I could feel so relaxed with that hanging beside me. Yessiree!!!
I'll grab the tag and do it real soon.
Happy Friday Mary!!
Thanks Mary, you did good.
ReplyDeleteI have been to this place several times. It is on the way to Clarksville, Tennessee where I often go with Jim. We use several alternate routes to get off the beaten path(I-40). A trip is always more fun if you go through the country.

This looks a lot like Bennette Springs in South Missouri where we go Trout fishing...Beautiful. We're going to Tenn. this summer. It's a beautiful State.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your meme, and congrats on your award. I love your show and tell, so beautiful.

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers to the meme. And the picture is lovely. What a view that would be to wake up to!
Congratulations on your newest award. And I'm glad you have more energy these days. Also glad to read that your dear Mom is doing so well at 80. I have a friend here named, Garnet, who is 87 and still driving and doing wonderfully well.
Hope the snow didn't stick! Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Renie
I loved the ABC meme! That was so much fun to read!!

Mary,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your meme. I learned some new facts about you. I also found something else we have in common. My hair is thinning, too.Every so often I tell my family that I am going to get a pink wig. LOL
Loretta's Ranch is beautiful! I would love to wake up to that view every day.
Hugs,
Tina
Mary it was so nice to learn more about you. Love the snow drop pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe ended up getting about 9 inches of wet snow yesterday, so driving was miserable for awhile. It's melting today so hopefully we get some desperately needed moisture out of it.
God bless.
Mary,that picture of the Mill is fantanstic.I think I would be in heaven to live near that.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to December 17, That is my soberity date 12/17/1990.
Hugs and Blessings your way.
