Jefferson Davis' Beauvoir in Biloxi....

 The newly restored Beauvoir...
 What she looked like after Katrina...

 porch shadows...

picket fences to the ocean side... 

Front porch rockers... 

artsy shadow shot for my daughter... 

and ancient oaks...
we don't see this... down here in French Lique...

Happy Birthday Wishes.... and a few more Warrenton pics...

First, and most important, today is Candy's birthday! I won't tell her age, since she is, after all, ageless... but I'll share a few photos of her zaniness... taken while we were in Warrenton last month...
I'm sure she'll say she was "framed"...

and more than once...
Candy is a junker in the true sense of the word.  She loves anything old, tattered and rusty...
and the artist in her will turn it into a treasure...

Ya'll drop by Rock Candy and give her a Birthday shout-out...
and tell her Dixie told you...

Blue Monday Vintage Party Dress....

In 1968, my first beau escorted me to a dress up party... This is the dress I wore... not this specific dress... but the same dress, long ago discarded to Goodwill or something... this is the same dress... same pretty aqua blue color... same ties around the neck...
...same cinched waist and flirty full skirt...
I felt pretty in this dress... I wish I still had it...

Happy Birthday Panda... on Pink Saturday... the perfect day to celebrate YOU!

I have only one granddaughter... and we call her the Panda... Pink Saturday is her birthday... and this is my favorite photo... where she happens to be wearing her favorite color... PINK...
she's a precocious little child...
full of wonder and light...
Today the Panda is 9-years old...
growing up just a little too fast for her grandma...
but life happens...
Celebrating you sweet Panda...
love from grandma and grandpa...
