Everyone loves a good memory! Here’s mine for this week’s Throwback Thursday – Christmas 🎄 style!
This is Littlepaw. She LOVES Christmas! At least she loves our. Christmas tree 🎄 She sleeps under it, or sometimes up in the tree… Cats are crazy 😝
This picture is a decade old now… That’s 10 years for everyone in Cedar Grove 😝 Littlepaw is still our official Christmas Kitty and still loves it when the tree goes up.
Ahhhhh, Christmas memories on Throwback Thursday ❤️🎅🏻🎄
Throwback Thursday is always fun! It seems like most of my Throwbacks have lots of meaning and importance to me… I guess that’s what makes them worth the time 😊 This one for sure! My son actually tee’d this one up for me today ❤️ He made a post on Facebook today that I’m using my for this Thursday’s Throwback, check it out 👇🏻
Jacobs post – “I’m part of an amazing Tribe! The word got out we were looking for some help on a Pond Squad build and 22 Certified Aquascape Contractors showed up on their own! We are shooting in Alabama and people came from Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and one couple drove all the way down from New Hampshire! I love what I do and the people I do it with! “ #pondsquad
This project was 5 years ago in Gulf Shores, Alabama and was hosted by Gulf Shores Aquascape (shout out to Motel and Buford!) Jacob was 13 years old at the time & was over the top Thrilled to able to go with his dad! But the BIG thrill was the fact that we would be working on the ‘New’ Gulf Coast Zoo project! 💥 A little backstory here – he has grown up loving the Gulf Coast Zoo! Nicknamed “The little Zoo That Could” after surviving Hurricane Ivan in 2005! The little zoo won worldwide love and acclaim and the donations started rolling in. The writing was on the wall. The Zoo must grow and must never face another disaster like Ivan again! Which meant, Relocation! Cut to 2015 and the 1st Water Feature was being installed in the New Zoo – “The Little Zoo That Grew” in its New Location! The Waterfalls and Landscape on ‘Spider Monkey Island’ was the first BIG Water Feature for the Zoo, and it was being installed by Professional Waterfall Builders (CAC’s) on a TV 📺 Show to boot! Jacob was strait up thrilled!
Spider Monkey Island turned out fantastic! Tens of thousands of people a season will enjoy this one for years to come 😊 Jacob has a lifetime pass to the Zoo, given to him by Joey, the owner for his help and dedication to the Zoo! 💥 So he’s got that going for him 😂
Here’s a picture from many years ago at the Little Zoo with Sita, a white tiger cub. He’s gotten to have many animal encounters over the years, but he really loves those Tigers!
Here he is at a much younger age, playing with a young Tiger Cub named Sita’. Jacobs love of the Gulf Coast Zoo runs deep 😊
After we finished the Zoo, we did the residential project pictured above with the group that worked on both. Here’s a cleaned up picture with the landscaping and mulching complete and ready for the “reveal” on TV.
Jacob, Shane and I got up early early the next morning, bought 50 bags of mulch and went back over to this one and did all the mulching and touch ups to be ready for the cameras. Things like this were great teachable moments for him! Attention to details and the last touch ups are the difference between a good job and a Great one!
Here he is learning a bit about how to operate a track hoe, at 13 years old! Yes, he’s experienced for a young un’!
Yep, he’s good sized for a 13 year old! You should see him now 👀 6’3” 225!
I hope I didn’t get too carried away 😊 It’s just, good memories are worth gold. Especially on #Throwbackthursday!
I came across this picture of an article about last Springs Maintenance Workshop & Spring Fest. Event. Sure was tough this season missing out on all the fun stuff… But I know things happen that are out of our control and we do what we must…
That being said, I sure am looking forward to seeing things get back to some sense of normal soon! We will continue to respect others space by social distancing and keeping things clean for our clients! And even though we weren’t able to hold Large Public events like our Maintenance Workshops & Waterfall Classes, we are here to personally help you as always! I love #throwbackthursday!
I came across this photo as I was organizing files and it really made me think. We have missed all our yearly events this year because of Covid. I sure looking forward to next year and getting back together.
Pictures take you back! I guess that’s why we call it #throwbackthursday 😊
We just started watching Horror films for the Halloween 🎃 season. Guess where we always start… You guessed it – Mikey Myers…
“They tell me that most of us get more conservative as we get older. It makes sense, we get married, have kids, we earn more $$ and have more to conserve! We also set up routines that we follow throughout our daily lives – exercise, eating, checking email, etc.. So I got to wondering if everyone across all boundaries followed suit?”
Check this out! – A day in the life of Mike
Mike likes his morning brew! You wouldn’t believe how cranky he gets if he ain’t had his Java!!’
Getting ready in the morning has become a ritual…
The old “morning constitutional” – With all the daily chores ahead – this is a great time to do a little multitasking & check my email & texts!
I don’t care who you are, ya’ gotta stay in shape!
Believe me folks, the “middle age spread” is REAL! Gotta eat right and do my crunches!
There’s always something to do…
Guest who drew “bake sale” at the school fundraiser… Red Velvet Cake is the perfect choice!
Don’t forget to take a break now and again! All work and no play…
I need a little “Me time” every now and again – nothing better than kicking off my shoes 👠 and enjoying a good show and a cold drink!
You might even think the monotonous life we all leed has tamed & subdued Mike to the point that homocide is just off the menu… ?
Oh well… You know it’s hard for a leopard to change his spots 🎃

I was messing with some pictures of tree faces to make a little blog about some of my favorites, when my son walked up and saw these two… He says “it’s like a 30 year before and after of you”… I died laughing 😝

Here’s an oldie for #throwbackthursday! How many of you remember the activity center at West Jackson Baptist Church? I know I do! I loved skating there 😊 This was a Halloween party they held out on the skating rink floor. I remember that cowboy suit I was wearing in this picture too! It was my favorite ❤️ Roy Rogers, eat your heart out.
I LOVED my cowboy get-up! This was 1972 or so at West Jackson Baptist Activity Center. They turned the skating rink into a Halloween Party. I can’t remember that young lady’s name, but like all ladies, she loves a cowboy 🤠 😂
I have grown to LOVE Throwback Thursday 😊 Y’all have a great day!
