YES we have had SNOW here in the Heart of Georgia!

Just want to share with you two memories of a WHITE world here in the Heart of Georgia.

It does happen once in a while...

 

This was on January 7 in 1988 and I was home by myself and captured this sight.Pieter had left on January 5 for Michigan and got stuck in Chicago on January 7 as they could not fly in to Atlanta as the airport was iced over...On January 8, Pieter called me from Atlanta around noon where he finally had landed.Now the painstakingly slow journey home via Interstate 75 as it took him 4 hours!Here in the South they have NO equipment for clearing snow...

Those who feel happy with the happiness of others, possess a wealth without borders.

Meaning of my name — Pearl and Desired Child

 Names ought to have a special meaning and for a reason.

But do most of us KNOW what its meaning is?

Pearl — bought in Oahu, Hawaii

Hard to capture...

Also from Oahu, Hawaii came my Majorica black pearls in 15" length and earrings and ring, found at Neiman Marcus.

A 16" necklace would be too big for me.

Also from Oahu, Hawaii came home this little pineapple, the symbol of hospitality.

Having cooked numerous dinners for company, friends and family and several High Teas as a donation to the Rotary Club's fund raiser.

Did turn the velvet silk fabric around and used its backside...

Do you know your name's meaning?
