About Me

Deep South, United States
First I am a mother of two sons, Chad 35 and Ryan 32. Through these beautiful sons, I have been blessed with two beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kelli and Erin. As a result of these beautiful wives comes three beautiful grands, Connor first and the only one for fives years. Then, Kelli and Chad blessed me with another beautiful grandson, Cooper, who is now three. Ryan and Erin blessed me with my first granddaughter, Presley, and now Presley has brother, Harper, who is 2. My blog is really all about family. The reason I chose Magnolia Memories as my blog title is I am from Mississippi! I love Magnolia's. Memories is something that I make everyday. I still have my mother who will be 89 on her birthday in April. My life is centered around my beautiful family. Life is GOOD!

A TASTE OF RED FOR THE TABLE

I have always kept my table set in the past,
but it has been a while since I have. The table
before I sprayed it was oak I just could not find
the right dishes for it.The black makes a big
difference in how dishes look on it. So for the
holidays it will be fun to get back in the habit.
The red just adds so much to it.Most of the time
I will mix and match dishes. I think a table looks
so creative with that type of setting.

My Son Plays A Part In Hurricane Gustav

LOOK AT THIS ALLIGATOR
THIS IS CHAD IN THE SWAMP
Hurricane Gustav swept through south Louisiana
and western Mississippi on Monday, September 1.
The category 2 hurricane caused widespread power
outages in both states. My son was one of the thirty
seven lineman initially went to Beauregard Electric in
DeRidder, La. Leaving there the crews ventured to
Jeff Davis Electric in Jennings La. The EMEPA crews
seeing numerous snakes and alligators while working
on lines and the right of way in swampy areas.
I just have to share pictures of my son Chad and the
guys that went with him. I know there is still
plenty of work to be done in Louisiana but I do
hope that our guys made a difference while they
were there.
