January:
A good month for visiting Memphis. My dad gave his first public talk in many years so I wanted to make sure that we visited for that. So me and my buddy Misty took a very quick trip to the ol' hometown and had a great 24 hours. We went shopping at Flashback, had a Karaoke BLAST on Beale Street, and saw the aforementioned talk on Sunday morning. It was a great way to start out the year and to say goodbye to the platinum blonde hair!
February:
After I went 'red' again, I really got involved in my Vintage Styling endeavors. This photo was taken for my Pin Up Series on YouTube, and is based on the artwork of Art Frahm. The channel has given me a sense of accomplishment I would not have expected and is opening doors I didnt know where there. The internet CAN do some good. :)
March:
My favorite photo that was taken this year. My husband had just cut my son's hair and this photo was taken right before the meeting. He took it w/ his PHONE, which is surprising. I love everything about it. The tractor was a nice touch as well. :)
April: Another great Rockabilly Weekender this year in Vegas! This photo of the Haystack Hitones was taken during their reunion performance on Saturday of the event. It was one of my favorite performances of the weekend.
May: For our 14th wedding anniversary we went back to Memphis-town and spent a great couple of nights. We saw 'Hillbilly Casino' with a group of friends at the Blues City Cafe and spent next afternoon at Pa and Mimi's.
June: Over the course of the summer, my husband placed this little figurine at various places in the county and took a photo. I like the idea; I think it documents our area in an interesting way, especially since we might not live in this area much longer. Bittersweet.
July: I love the Wilson County Fair! This sweet horsey was making ice cream by walking on a sort of antique 'treadmill' that was attached to an old fashioned ice cream churn. It was so fun to watch and we kept slipping him treats. The convention was this month too but unfortunately, I didnt get any good photos.
August: This August was fun and included a trip to the Redneck Rumble, a car show in Lebanon that is improving every year. Good bands played and relatively nice cars showed up. But the photo I chose to document the month of August was one of my son's lego creations. I think it's supposed to be The Titanic.
September: This was the month that Misty and I took some photos for my friend Heather and her new line of floral hair clips for ladies. I helped name them 'Belle Blossoms' and she seems to be doing well with this endeavor, shipping items all over the world. It was so exciting to be a part of a project that was just 'getting off the ground', like this.
October: This year, we spent alot of time driving around and really appreciating this area. I am sad that Pleasant Shade School closed right after Johnson finished kindergarten. As it stands, it looks very forlorn and abandoned...the playground equipment is rusted and the grass is grown up. The huge gym would be a FANTASTIC place for a dance or a band to play. How cool would that be?
November: Okay so I stole this photo. We spent the November holiday with friends in Louisiana and I loved this photo because it really conveys the good time/family atmosphere. Plus, the look on Craig's face is priceless!
December: Lastly, I realize we haven't really taken many photos this month. I thought this one was worth posting because its proof that our digital camera is finally dying. The picture quality has steadily gotten more and more screwed up and now, this is the monster it creates. :)
Anyway, as I said, bring on the next decade!
