Hillbilly's Ten Commandments
I received this in an email today. My family thought it was cute, so I thought maybe you guys might also.
Tennessee Ten Commandments
Some people in Tennessee have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in middle Tennessee got together and translated the "King James" into "Jackson County" language.... no joke, read on...
The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.)
(1) Just one God
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Put nothin' before God
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(7) No killin'
(8) Watch yer mouth
(9) Don't take what ain't yers
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff
Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think? Y'all have a nice day.
Dazzling Gown for @ $2.00
I had bought a yard of gorgeous fabric at Wal-Mart for a whopping $2.00. I know what you are thinking, "man, that is EXPENSIVE". I felt the need to splurge for it has little dots of silver glitter all over it. I only used 1/2 the fabric. I gave the rest to someone I know.
At first, I thought the fabric wanted to be a baby doll shirt for my little DD. I think those things are so cute. She however, wanted a fancy dress. She usually gets what she wants. I usually get a store-bought pattern and change it around. This one is all moi. I did the design and the sewing. Abigail did the bedazzling on the front,
It's supposed to be a heart. It was our first time using that weird contraption. Won't be the last because she really enjoyed it.
Here are her beautiful pictures.
I purchased some cool trims, a silver rope for the pulls in the back,
I still need to trim them up, and some funky shiny lacey looking stuff for the strap. I added on pearl snap buttons to pull it all together.

New Years Beach Trip
My DH surprised me last Friday with the notion of going to spend a few days at the beach. I didn't really feel like going, due to the colds going around the house. I guess my 5yo talked me into by going and packing her bag. She is up for any trip, anywhere at a moment's notice. (LOL As I write this entry, she is talking about taking a trip without her middle brother. We went this trip without the oldest. He was away.)
The highlight of the whole trip was that I didn't have to drive. My hubby just bought one of those funky looking new Mustang GT's. Of course, he got the straight shift. I'm guessing he did that so I couldn't drive it to the grocery store. I'll stick with the other vehicles.
Here are a few of my fave photos. I can't believe that I took 66 pictures. I was shocked when I got home and looked at the numbers. WoW.
Look at this wild house. It looks like a UFO. We stumbled upon this when we got off course looking for the motel we stayed at before. Plus, a nice deer fish from the pier in Garden City.
Here are my fave photos of two of the kids on the beach. These are keepers. We collected two shopping bags with the bottom only full of shells. Abigail kept saying the black ones were moon rocks that fell from the sky. My son was mostly intrigued by the soapy scum that was everywhere. He said that it made him sad to see people just messing up the ocean like that.
Here are a few interesting photos from Broadway at the Beach. That place was neat. We only went to check it out because they were to have a fireworks show later. We chose not to go as most of the dining places around were closed to minors after 8pm. I figured most of the people would be drunk. Not what I want around my small children.
