Project 52 is a challenge to myself to post at least one picture a week for 2011. Can I do? I think I can!

Gibbs Garden Week 7

Gibbs Garden in the middle of no where 2 hours and 10 minutes from the house located in Ball Ground, GA.  They have over 16 million daffodils and a spectacular place to visit!  It was 80 degrees, direct light without a cloud in the sky and 16 mph wind!

Volunteer Week 6

I have found it more and more difficult to do nice things for people.  It is not because I don't want to but it seem my generosity seems to miss it mark and a waste of my effort.  Why do things people do not want?  I volunteer to take cemetery photos for people.  The way it works people put in a request and a volunteer in that geographic location will get a notice and you can choose whether or not they can fulfill their request.  The volunteering satisfies my need for adventure, my need to help, keeps up my photo skills and I get great exercise!  Plus there is always the unexpected.  I saw a girl walking with another lady around this cemetery and they were watching me.  This is not unusual people are away nosy.  The little girl approaches me to buy a card for her school.  She was such a great sales lady I spent $10 in the cemetery to help the girl and her school! 
 
This was a recent request.  People are so appreciative because the information on the stone is so helpful usually for their genealogy and most of the time these requests are from people that are not located near their research.  Win win!
