Traveling with the Salesman

Oh, there are so many advantages to being invited to travel with the Salesman.dsc03426I enjoy being together and snapping pictures as he heads to his appointments.dsc03427While he’s on the phone, I enjoy the scenery and clouds.dsc03429I’m always on the lookout for old homes and today I find one nestled in the valley.dsc03510The Salesman is drawn to creeks, streams and babbling brooks.dsc03516Sometimes the day of travel has a delicious ending at a linen clad tablecloth by a cozy fire.dsc03531

    Oooh…I want that old house!

    We drive to Missouri every summer and I love the old houses we pass. I wonder who built them, what the first woman to live there was like, who was in their family, why it sits alone and neglected now.

    Makes me want to move in and make it a home once more.

    Have a great weekend.
    Love,

    I saw a book title yesterday at the library from a distance. It said “God is a Saleman” I have no idea what the book is about but if God’s the saleman I would go with Him too. B

    🙂 How cool is that!

    We are unloading in GA right now and going to be heading to New Jersey soon. I’m loving this southern warm sunshine today. The stopping time isn’t long enough! Well to my husband who’s mind is on loads and miles it is… lol. We arrived here last night and are heading north in about an hour or so.

    It was great to see your pics.. beautiful!

    blessings,

    Reminds me of this line from Lucy Maud Montgomery ~

    “I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls off a string.”

    Joanne, I have many of the same thoughts when we pass old homes – I just love them!

    Patty, when you head this way we can *try* to find it again! I’m about as directionless as they come!

    B, I have not heard of that book. I will have to check it out.

    Annie, I know you know first hand what it is like to travel with your dear husband.

    Beth and Cindy, I love traveling with the Salesman, it is always an adventure!

    Dear Nancy, I so agree with the beautiful quote you shared about the simple little pleasures – how true!

I have never seen anything like what I saw when I I have never seen anything like what I saw when I walked in Walmart this last week. 

Right there where they normally have fresh berries and Grainger county tomatoes and such, was a Valentine’s Day floral display the size of an above ground swimming pool. 

And I wanted to dive in the deep end. 

There were blooms as far as my eye could see and there was no way possible to get every one in the picture, though I tried. 

I wish you lived in my town and we’d go enjoy them together. 

It’s going to be a beautiful Valentine’s Day! 

Scroll right to see the biggest display ever and a few colorful, and beautiful, bouquets.

“Sometimes you have church in buildings that don “Sometimes you have church in buildings that don’t have steeples” is how I’d describe my visit to the hair wizard this week.

God is so good to intertwine cousins, curls, and church.

Amen and amen.

I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of openin I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had cut my sandwich out with heart shaped cookie cutters.

♥️

It’s the little things.

♥️

I got my mama’s heart shaped cookie cutters out & am serving love & beauty with heart shaped, & heart healthy, Trim Healthy Mama Blender Freezer Waffles. Shout out to the organic Aldi raspberries that appear to be heart shaped as well!

The waffles are Salesman approved. ♥️

I make an entire batch of the waffles & keep them in a refrigerator box so he can grab them just like a L’eggo My Eggo & enjoy the convenience of healthy, & now heart-shaped, waffles.

You can see the Salesman’s legs in the background of one of the pictures of me trying to capture the perfect picture of the heart shaped waffles.  I stepped out on the back porch, which is right outside his office, and he came out to see what I was doing.  And let me tell you, he had a good laugh seeing me trying to get the picture perfect shot of my plate of love!  After he ribbed me a bit, I told him that I really enjoyed taking pictures, & he then shared a nugget, or two, about the photography industry.

This is us. ♥️

This is me carrying on a tradition my mama started of making sweet memories for holidays & special occasions. It did not cost any money to use my childhood cookie cutters, it was just a sweet, and delicious, investment of time.

The most beautiful memories are tied with heart strings & not purse strings. ♥️
