Messages on Tin {Creative Signage} and a Spartan Visit

 

This is a post that is long overdue.

When J and I were in Hammond in April, we admired the creative tin art by BFF Mari Ann hanging around her yard. I was pleased as punch when she offered to paint two separate pieces for my backyard.

The first one in blue “Be Nice Or Leave” is a slogan I see at many local restaurants and bars around town. I could not agree more with this sentiment. NeNe of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is credited with the oh so powerful, “Klonk”. I love the creative use of oyster shells.

The second one in red “Cheers y’all” is a favorite saying of mine. I love a good cocktail or three, so this saying is perfect in my home. For now, I have it hanging outside but will certainly bring it into the bar for entertaining very soon. I too love the creative use of bottle caps and wine corks.

Thanks, MAC!

And I was overjoyed yesterday to visit with some of my former coworkers from my days as a science teacher at East Thibodaux Jr. High from 1994-2001. Several friends, Jeannie(Ms. Spinella), Merline(Mrs. Prejeant), Ann(Mrs. Jordan), and Mona(Ms. Hatcher), traveled to NOLA for a visit. We enjoyed great drinks(Arnold Palmers w/ vodka), tasty nibbles, and juicy gossip. Lunch at Superior Seafood complimented our day! Let’s do it again soon. We laughed, and laughed, and laughed….. Geaux Spartans! Great memories!

  2. Hi Ron, stopping in for a visit by way of Vignettes blog. I think I overstayed my visit. :) Loved reading your blog and am now following. Fun signs! I made one for our screened porch from some old tin that simply says: "Go Away"..... in jest of course, but it always elicits comments. We are having a rainy weekend too but it gives me an excuse to not do yard work and just read fun blogs. Hope you are enjoying yours. ~ Lynn
