Florida Welcomes You

Congratulations Clark! You hit a funnybone with that one. As soon as I saw it I chuckled, which is always a good thing. Besides, my husband really liked your 'stooped over' entry a lot. Having lived on the east and west coast of Florida for most of my life...I know exactly what that entry means! Loved it. (Now contact me and let me know which gift cert you want and where to send it.)

Now for some honorable mentions~

Becky G for the lyrics to the Hokey Pokey. Singing the lyrics while actually looking at the picture was pretty good. (Although Traveling Mercies Ministry did put the title entry in first.)

Steve nearly won with his entry of~ Criminals beware. We have dentures and are not afraid to use them! I liked how it included both the signs...very good! And really....SO close to winning, nearly a tie.

The last entry by Ashley~ 'She'll be comin' round the nursing home' was one of my favorites as well, but mostly because it belonged to my daughter. (Don't tell her she wasn't actually eligible to win since she lives in our house), but I have to give her some credit for a witty entry.

I hope everyone enjoyed the contest, even a little bit. I think I might make it a once a month event...what do you, my loyal readers, think of that?!

Time's Up!

The winner will be posted later this afternoon! Thanks for all the entries and actual comments left on the blog. I knew there were readers out there, but sometimes you all stay hidden!

Check back later!

My First Ever "Caption Contest"

My husband and I sat around trying to think of a creative name for this picture. A catchy phrase. Something witty for a title. We came up with a few, but thought this picture would be perfect for this blog's first ever caption contest!

This picture is posted in front of one of our town's nursing homes. I've never seen anything like it.

So here's the deal~ post your title for this picture. You can post as many titles as you want to. My family will pick a winner by Tuesday at noon and post the title here. The winner will receive a $5 Sonic gift card or a $5 Walmart gift card...your choice!

Remember~ my children will be reading this.

Spring Has Sprung!

Note~ none of these trees/shrubs are in my yard. I have my wonderful neighbors (across the street and on both sides of me) to thank for my lovely springtime view!

I can identify the wisteria and azaleas...anyone know what the other 2 flowers (the white ones) are?

Spice It Up Wednesday!

Here's an interesting one for those not from around here.

Yes, you read that correctly. You are to "Slap Ya Mama". How offensive can that be!?!

The creators of Slap Ya Mama give this explanation for the name of their cajun spice on their website~

The name of "SLAP YA MAMA" came about when the creator of the seasoning jokingly said, "When you use this seasoning, the food taste so good that it will make you want to go home and slap ya mama because she could never make something taste that great."

Slap Ya Mama is made just up the road from here in Ville Platte. They even bring their van and deliver the spice to our local Walmart. The shelves are FULL of it, and everyone has heard of it...so there's nothing offensive in writing "Slap Ya Mama" on the grocery list!

A Post of Praise!

Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

It's rising up, all around

It's the anthem of the Lord's renown

And together we sing

Everyone sing!

If you have something to Praise the Lord about, post it as a comment! This can be a post full of praise to Him. (And you can read some of the lyrics and sing along with the newly added song....you can't hear that song and not PRAISE HIM!)
