About Me

My photo
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!

in love with this. If anyone is
interested you can order these from

Pink Saturday. I am spending the rest of
tonight looking at blogs. It's raining
here so this is a great night for visiting
blogs. Have A Great Weekend!!!!


I am so glad to have my computer up and
going. This has been the longest two weeks
without blogging. This is really my past
time. I use my blog page for a journal.
It is so nice to be able to go back to
read old posts and to be able to have the

Our Gang: The Little Rascals Part 2

This was really a great e-mail. This is
a black and white classic series that so
many people watched everyday for years.
It is so sad that each cast member has
died with the exception of 2. Where did
their lifes go so wrong. I hope you can
figure our by the pictures who is who.
It took forever to do this and then it
turned out like this. I would go back
and fix if I knewhow. If you were a fan
you will know who everyone is. Something
that I don't think that I ever knew was
Robert Blake played Spanky. Amazing to me.
Was Robert Blake ever charged with his
wife's murder?? If you know let me know..
I believe he was I am just not sure.



















These pictures are great.
