The case of a new job

Hi All!!!

I started a new job today at First Citizens National Bank, local in Dyersburg, but they have a new location in Franklin, TN for my Nashville friends. I had a great day. I started along with four others, and we will have about a months worth of training so I'll let you know as it goes along.

Over the weekend I did a little more gardening. Man that is hard work. Dividing monkey grass is the for the "Birds" of "MONKEYS!"

Bunco is tomorrow night at my house. So I'll have a few pictures for you soon.

Have a good week.

The case of a Strawberry Mother's Day






Here are a few pictures of us attending the West TENNESSEE Strawberry Festival!!! My Mother-in-Law and niece came along, as well as, a Friend and her child and friend. The Strawberry Festival is a huge deal!!! It was my mother-in-law and niece's first time to go. It was sooo hot, but a great time was had by all and I think we'll be up for it again next year. To get in the spirit I made strawberry freezer jam earlier in the week for the first time. It was super easy and fun, and
Craig and I can't wait to give it a try.

The case of a "Kickin' Kentucky Derby Party"








The rain that showered the South on Saturday "Didn't rain on our parade" for our Kentucky Derby Party. Although, we did have to go to a "B" plan.

Here are a few pictures and hopefully I'll post some more from Craig's Camera.

Our party was also complete with a red carpet runner welcoming guests on our sidewalk leading to the front door that was adorned with a fresh flower wreath of greenary and fern.

Everyone approved of our Kentucky inspired menu of:

Roasted Turkey served on a roll with "Henry Bain Sauce"
Potato Salad
Deviled Eggs
Hot Ham and Biscuits
Ambrosia fruit Salad

Dessert was Thoroughbred Pie with homemade whipping cream - Which is amazing!!

and guests had an assortment of Beverages to choose from:
Mock Mint Julips
Sweet Tea
Pink Lemonaide

We had so much fun, we think this will be a new family tradition.
