Great Great Great Grandpa's Cabin

This morning I got to visit my great great great grandfathers two-story cabin that is on the national Register of Historic Places in Summerfield Louisiana!

Nancy Wasson arrived in North Louisiana from Alabama in the 1800’s she and her husband, Alberry Wasson, built a home and planted their roots. It took them two years to build their home and completed it around 1850. They grew cotton, ran a saw mill, and owned a craft store  [apparently it runs in the family].

Here is the street sign leading up to the cabin. The street is named after them!

Here is my great great great grandpa’s carriage.  My uncle Tony tried to tell me it's like the Amish buggys, but I quickly corrected him that Ididn't have any Amish blood! [ for those of you that don't know… Amish buggy's creep me out !...they look like the creepy buggy in Beauty in the Beast that takes away Bell's papa.. or a coffin on wheels.. or a jail cell.. anyways..]

Out and about in Savannah

Today I spent the morning in Savannah Georgia. What a beautiful city! I loved all the big trees, old houses and the cobble stone roads by the river.

I

Life on the road begins..

I just arrived in Atlanta an hour or so ago and thus begins the next two weeks of life on the road.. I love to travel and the adventures that come with traveling and I'm sure over the next few days i will have some exciting stories and pictures to show and tell. BUT before we can do that, we need to catch up on the last few days... Before arriving in Atlanta, i was in Indiana visiting Pete. We had a great time and some awesome adventures, Frisbee golfing, Amish hunting, playin' Settlers  oh and so much more.

a little accident prone..

I thought when i dyed my hair dark it would take away my frequent "blonde" moments.... apparently i was wrong....

My morning started off great when I cut my eyelid on the zipper of my sweatshirt.. ya i didn't know that was possible either but i have cut to prove it! Next when at the gas station i tried to get gas and couldn't get the pump to work, i put my card in, selected the grade, lifted the little nozzle thing, and it wouldn't work, so i hit cancel and tried again, but it still didn't work! At that same moment i saw this little old man walk out of the station to his car in front of me, i quickly went begged him to help me.. turns out i missed pushing the "start" button.. I had a good laugh about that one!!!  Then to wrap up the day i tripped walking up 1 step...yes a single step! My arms full of boxes sprayed across the floor, my knee joined the cement step edge and my face slammed into the concrete.. needless to say i now have a pretty awesome cut and bruise on my knee..

My quilts

One day Alicia and I were hanging out and i got the brilliant idea I wanted to learn how to make a quilt... So Licia and I went to the fabric store and in a short three days I finished my first quilt... I was kinda excited to get it done and send it to Pete.. hahahah... There are lots of flaws and little problems but I love the quilt and it was lots of fun! Then I decided I needed one too! So I've started one for my self!

Anyways... thanks Alicia and Melissa for helping teach me how! Love you gals!

Well here goes..

So one day Alicia decided i needed a blog. I like to think this is because i happen to do some pretty crazy things, and get my self into the most unusual situations. Also, i happen to be traveling all over the country by bus for work this summer. So the combination of me + my blondness + accident prone + traveling is bound to be some good stories...

So just to start off, today as i drove to work i decided a quick stop at Roxyberry was a must, i also thought it was a great idea to use my drink as a mic while i was rockin' out in my car. Well... the lid popped off and i ended up with half a 24oz smoothy in my lap. Not knowing what to do, i stopped my car in the middle of the road... yes the middle.. i continued to get out of my car dripping with sweet raspberry goodness dripping off of me while cars rushed by with dirty looks. At this point i began laughing and decided it be best if i return home and change.. being sticky all day, no FUN!
So moral of the story don't ever use your drink as a pretend mic in the car.. you might regret it later...
