Fun In The NeighborhoodTravel

When I was downtown Franklin, Tennessee the other day, I noticed they were filming a Hamburger Helper commercial for TV at the Franklin Fire Department! Here are some behind-the-scenes photos.

One of the FUN things I do with photos on Flickr is participate in the 'Day In The Life Of' DILO project. Every month or so, they ask for personal submissions -- 5 photographs which summarize how you spent your day. Here's how my day went.

Highlights from our weekend playing games with friends.

A silly little interaction I had with the postal clerk at the Franklin, Tennessee post office...

My friends have showed me up... They've gone and done even MORE incredible stuff. Just gotta share......

Straight from the pages of my scrapbook, here is my family tree... in photographs:...

The other day, I did something completely stupid that took me back to the old days... I was reminded of these hilarious, yet strange, predicaments which members of my family have gotten themselves into through the years. Each is a life's lesson in itself. Live & learn...

My fellow fun-seekers are having a grand 'ol summer... and the Summer is still young. Some of them have been involved in some really cool stuff, and I thought it deserved recognition. Here are some of the interesting things that my friends have been up to lately...

It was a very full week. Much fun was had. Much was learned. Hold onto your hats, folks. Here we go!......

Before we moved to Nashville on April 25, 2001, Jim and I took 2 trips there. The first one was just a regular vacation to Chattanooga and to Nashville a few months before we were married. The next one was a trip to Nashville several months after we were married to make sure it was a place that we would enjoy living. Nashville definitely made a good first impression on us, and we ended up moving there 5 months after our 2nd visit. These photos show some of the things we did when we visited Nashville twice during the time that we lived in Pensacola, Florida.

In an effort to meet stricter security enforcements, all bank customers must remove their hats.

I (like most Americans) spent this entire last week SICK. Jim got this bug worse than I did, but I'm home re-couping today. (...and it's such a beautiful day outside too, darn it!) Nonetheless, I managed to happen upon some...

Like we have every time over the past 4 years that we've been trying to get pregnant, we ended with: 'Well, if it was meant to be, it will be. Let's just leave it at that.'

The Pepsi/iTunes special is officially over (...sniff, sniff). So, unless you happen upon an "old" bottle of Pepsi product lying around on the store shelf, you won't be finding anymore "lucky winners" these days. That, my friends, means that our...
