This week was so much fun; a happy little cloud in a crisscross sky started my week out with a smile.
That fluffy little smudge, kinda in the middle of the picture, got me thinking about the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. He had a gentle way of speaking and a huge ‘fro of hair. He would use a 2″ brush to paint trees, clouds, water, whatever. When I saw the cloud, it made me think of the famous Bob Ross phrase: “It’s your world. You want a cloud in it? Well, go ahead, put it wherever you want.”
I made up a Facebook contest: a box of Cajun Pralines to the person who could identify the one who said the above mentioned phrase.
Wednesday at choir practice, the winner was excited when she received her prize and she shared with the ladies around her. I’ll have another contest in late November- something with a Christmas theme.
Thursday brought an early Christmas to my youngest son. Nobel prize winner Bob Dylan played at Thalia Mara Hall in Jackson. It was a great concert. Lots of aged hippies, but some of us younger people too. Only at a Dylan concert would I be considered younger.
Before the concert, we ate supper at the Iron Horse Grill. Tillman was our server. Hot Tamales, Shrimp Fahitas, Shrimp and Grits. I love Shrimp and Grits. If you want really good Southern food, you must try the Iron Horse Grill. Check out their menu on-line.
George, waiting to get into the hall, perused the program.
Friday we went to the big home improvement store for a palm sander and a set of attic stairs. We also came home with this.
Saturday I spent the day at my farm house. Leaving that evening, the stars were magnificent . I haven’t seen the stars like that in over two years. Living in town (with its glaring street lights) obscures the night sky.
Before the sun went down, I walked my property and snapped a few pictures. Swept steps, baseball bats, purple petunias, old out house, stunning sycamore.
Take the time to enjoy life: nature’s beauty, good food, great music, friends and family, simple things.
Blessings from the Exile’s Kitchen..
