even more reason why I deeply respect W
This was a headline in USA Today: George W. Bush rejects speaking gig because of Assange (WikiLeaks founder).
some of the article....
'Six months ago, President Bush accepted an invitation to speak to the YPO Global Leadership Summit in Denver on February 26, 2011.
This week, upon learning that Julian Assange had recently been invited to address the same summit, President Bush decided to cancel his appearance.
The former president has no desire to share a forum with a man who has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States.The former president has no desire to share a forum with a man who has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States.'

Strong storms swept across TN yesterday... and our neighborhood was no exception. This trampoline is my neighbors...on a different street...around the corner. Scary how powerful the winds + rains can really be!

50 states in 50 years
One of my Life Goals is to visit 50 states in 50 years. I have 22 to go! I've been crossing off the list for years. Another Life Goal is to go to '4 corners'...where I can be 4 places at one time. I used to want to swim with the dolphins, but I removed that off the list. I touched one at Sea World a few years ago...and fed it dead fish..that was plenty for me=)
What do your life goal's consist of?

motherly...
Saturday CKC and I palyed 'babies' alllllllll day=) (That's a scarastic smile.) Isn't it funny that little girls just know how to be motherly? CKC loves to feed and stroll and put her babies down for night-night.
The House That Build Me
You know that gorgeous country song ‘The House That Build Me’ by Miranda Lambert… that song was written for me=) Well, I like to think so, atleast.
Many many years ago, our dear friends moved into the house my dad grew up in….and have recently moved out. I took mom and dad back so that Dad could have one last look….Dad loved it and we all went on-and-on w/ our various stories…about every inch of the house. It was a really super neat memory to create with my parents… I’ll treasure it forever.
It’s not bricks and mortar that really make a house...it is memories and so much more. 9 Canterbury was one of the first of its kind in Clarksville in the 50’s. I love that my Grandmother and Papaw were not afraid to get outside the box when dreaming of an ideal house…. They created their home from dreams and determination. It is still one of the most classy homes I’ve ever been in.
This is the door that the milk man would drop off the milk. (Can you imagine? I can’t.)
A cabinet that spun....
This was Blake and I’s toy closet….we had to keep our toys orderly. Haha.
This sink was Grandmothers, in the laundry room… it’s still pink. The whole house was pink and green.
Dad was saying that the ceilings were made especially ‘tall’ in this house…and now look at our houses now…and people, really. We are all taller (well, excluding me….I’ still holding out for a growth spurt, of course!) Back in the day, ceilings were not this tall.
Hall lights! Dad’s responsibility was to turn the light off each morning before he did anything else.
This switch Papaw created to turn all lights on in the house at the same time…with one flip.
This is Dad in his bedroom. The original peg board is still up and his built-in desk…from when he used it.
The back of the beautiful front door. We would trick-or-treat here....I have vivid memories standing outside this door.
the original (hidden) ironing board.
The garage door…was an industrial one…like dealerships used. Heavy duty.
The basketball goal Dad got when he was 7.

My papaw had a great walk-in closet.
The magnolia trees that Blake and I used to climb are insanely large now.
The original hardwood floors are in most rooms.

Glad I'm in the Auto Business!
Have you driven a Ford/Lincoln/Honda lately?

a San Francisco treat!
Pics from my recent refreshing trip to SF... had a blast, learned a lot, lived hard, made lifetime memories... I was captured=)
new Ford Fiesta. Love the new angles. So sporty.
Dad has been honored with the Time Magazine TN Dealer of the Year. He and each state representative were recognized this year in SF. (fun fact: Papaw Jenks was honored in 1984. I have LARGE shoes to fill!)
A few block away... became our stomping ground. This piano bar provided great music + memories.
the Bay Bridge. Ran + dined by it a couple times.
cupid has made his mark!
our Young Leaders group. Going on 3 yrs, now.
i took this pic of the Golden Gate Bridge....that was my angle!
we also went down Lombard St...the crazy, crooked street.
played golf at Stone Tree.... and picked up a few helpful tips from the (oh so very patient) guys.
my good buddy Beau and I went to Alcatraz. Incredibly memorable. One of my fav things I accomplished. The tour was unbelievable. It's a MUST!
my precious room. the hotel was a boutique-type.... lovely!
The Giants Stadium. World Series Champs!
