My First Photos From Haiti

I won't bee posting anymore the rest of the week. I just got back and am truly exhausted - an emotional exhaustion like I've never experienced. We have the Spring Open House this Friday and Saturday and there is so much to do and only 3 days to get it done.

There are hundreds of photos to sort through and we were blessed to have Karl join us, an experienced photographer from Texas Tech and I can't wait to share with you his photos as well. We never made it into the heavily destroyed areas due to security but rather focused our trip on the border towns and the orphanages, shelters and a hospital for the injured in the Dominican Republic. Words cannot describe the living conditions and I am ashamed that it took a natural disaster for me to understand it. I am truly thankful to Rotary for allowing me this opportunity to deliver wheelchairs with the International Wheelchair Foundation and the HHS Foundation. There will bee many more blogs about this truly Life Changing Experience but for now I leave with a few "happy" quick snap shots. Thank-you to my Downtown Waco Lake Brazos Rotary Club that stepped up to the plate providing the funding for many of these wheelchairs. Please comment ...


Sweet Baby Girl with a wheelchair just her size. I had a hard time letting her go ...

There are so many heroic stories to tell. You won't believe this little Angel's story!

Notice his little legs callused from crawling. Now he has the gift of mobility.

This little boy is blessed with a concrete floor and a tin roof. It is the rainy season now and thousands of families are displaced in tents or worse...


She couldn't stop touching my hair...

ESTATE SALE

Becky and Beverly are having an estate sale this weekend (FRI-SAT) at 1124 Wedgewood right off Bosque in the Woodway Suburb of Waco. They have a complete household of contents including a nice collection of vintage photography equipment, Waco Memorabilia including Gildersleeve Photos of Historic Waco, Vintage Train Items and so much More...

We are conducting one Slated for April 29-30 (Thursday-Friday) in Hewitt. Photos and details will post here soon.

Here are a few shots of what's new this week. Our stock room is overflowing with goodies just waiting for their premier at the open house. For a teaser, I can't wait for you to see the giant vintage water fountain - that is all I can say about that for now. You will just have to come and see for yourself.





After you finish shopping the open house, you will have to stop by in the afternoon for a visit to Barnet's Pub right around the corner. As Promised, we will have that photo review of them soon.

On another upcoming post, I will share with you some of the most beautiful landscape that the Waco area has to offer on "MY DRIVE IN". You really won't believe how blessed I feel to live here and commute into Downtown Waco, Texas everyday until you see these photos for yourself - so please check back.




I STILL also have to update you on our Secret Bee Lady and the Holiday Jr. League Photos. They were on a computer that crashed and they are now finally on the way.


I leave you with shots of Shop Girl Amy J. The Swanky Girls Recently Celebrated her 21st birthday with a night out on the town. She is truly one of the most creative and talented young women I know and I know she will make a big impact on the Interior Design World. Of course, it is the dream of the Shop Owner to find a way to keep her at Bloom & Bee Swanky forever.




Here she is at Marbuger (Matt in the mirror). It was so refreshing to take her and experience this fabulous Antique Show though her young modern eyes for the first time! She has had a rough go of it with me. First, I take her to Atlanta Market and end up at the hospital, and this time she had to bee patient with me as I hobbled around on a broken foot. She is such a trooper. SEE...



Bee Seeing YOU!!!
