Hawthorne Hill Farm
She's Back!!!!!
Where, oh where, did she go?? Was she accidentally locked away in a neighbor's shed? .....Trapped in someone's garage? ...Or...maybe even holed up and hiding out in the barn on the hill, awaiting the departure of the two little weiner dogs who were visiting us? Only Mac, herself, knows for sure...and she's not talking (...not a word, other than repeatedly telling me her name..."Maaac - mmmaaac"). All I know is that after four days, her mommy was happy to see her once more!
Welcome home little prodigal.
I hope you all had a Happy New Year!!! May your year be full of happiness a

Blessings,
Alyssa

I know I sure did we go to my great uncles house every Christmas Eve It is a tradition in my family then since we moved in this house back in 2003 my grandparents come over in the morning to have a nice breakfast with us and open presents. we all used to go over there but my grandparents just dont have the energy anymore like they used to then Christmas Day Afternoon we go over to my other grandparents house and Christmas night we go over to my uncles house.... I Got me a really nice good quality digital camera from my parents. I LOVE IT!!! I apologize for not blogging but my time has been consumed with family and school and work. I will try to be a more faithful blogger in the new year.
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and have a happy new year New Year Eve we are going to have food and fellowship at my church and New Years Day we are going to Lake Park Georgia to their outlet malls there
Blessings,

Thank You, Secret Sister!!!!
I knew I was in for a wonderfully marvelous treat when I opened the mailbox and there sat a beautifully decorated package with the cutest, happiest drawings...
As I turned the box over and over, examining every surface, enjoying the mini art gallery from my mailbox, I heard one of the twins - with the slightest hint of impatience (or maybe it was just anticipation) in her voice - say, "Mom, I'll bet there's something special inside that box too."
...and there was!!!!
My secret sister had sent the most beautiful hand-made gifts! There were two adorable Christmas ornaments - here's a pic of one of them...
(Isn't that pretty? It's like a quilted pinwheel with a jingle bell in the center.)
...and a GORGEOUS apron!
Apparently, my secret sister is an amazing seamstress! And I love, love, love the fabric and the colors!
I was just saying the other day, how my apron had been displaced to my studio (where it now enjoys a paint-stained life) and how I needed a new one for the kitchen! (Admit it, don't you just feel so ultra-domesticated like super-mom when you're wearing an apron? 
)
Finally, I enjoyed so much reading the Christmas card that was included in the package, and learning more about my sister. Wow, 3 children under the age of 5 and a business to run! My SS is not only an incredible blessing to me, but a very blessed lady!
Thanks Secret Sister!
Fire!
This Thanksgiving, we are so thankful....
- that our daughter, who was home alone Monday afternoon, kept a level head - calling 911 and evacuating herself and the dogs from the house by the time we were able to get home.
- that the firefighters were able to extinguish everything without anyone being hurt.
- that our house, only 30 feet from the shed that burned, had only minor damage.
- that I had just left with my van, which is usally parked between the two buildings.
- for neighbors who kept their hardware store open late and lent us tools to fix our melted pipes so we could have water that night.
- that we are insured and they are giving us replacement value on everything lost.
- for unfortunate events like this...because they open our eyes to everything that is really important to us and line our priorities back up the way that they should be.

Friday Show & Tell
Although, in crew, the official regatta season isn't until spring, we enjoy several events in the fall too. The latest of these was the "Head of the Hooch" regatta in Chattanooga, TN.
We had the most beautifully perfect weather for the event and, in addition to watching the races, were able to enjoy seeing some fall color (which is a real treat for us Floridians), grilling salmon and steaks outdoors for the team and their families, getting in some hiking time, and even visiting a museum located on the waterfront.
What a great weekend!
Our son's boat - as it passes under the bridges and approaches the finish line.
