Mother-Daughter Sock Hop this Friday Night

Last year was the 1st Annual Mother-Daughter Sock Hop at Azalea City Church of God. Our gym was turned into a plethora of girls sporting poodle skirts, rolled up jeans, and everything in between. One of our Wednesday Night Girl’s Clubs served up some amazing Coke floats and we had all sorts of “Dime Store” candy available.

My entourage included my Darling Little Girl, my Precious Mama, my Lovely Sister, and my Aunt. Last year’s Sock Hop was truly about making memories for my family. My Aunt was suffering from breast cancer and this was the last outing she had before cancer took her life only a few short weeks later. I will always cherish the night we had. Even though all she could do was sit in the chair as an onlooker, I know her heart was full. Her voice was almost non-existent but with her faint whisper she would tell us, “Go Dance.” She didn’t want us sitting around just because she couldn’t get up there with us. She wanted to enjoy watching us and I am so glad she did.

I don’t think I have ever had so much fun with the women in my family. My daughter had an absolutely wonderful time dancing all around with us and her friends, playing Limbo, eating candy, taking pictures, and trying Coke floats. I quickly learned that my body was no longer a Limbo champion. I could barely get down there like I used to do. All you locals that hung out at the Holiday Skate Palace every Friday night when you were younger know exactly what I am talking about!!

This Friday, October 15th, will be the 2nd Annual Mother-Daughter Sock Hop at Azalea City Church of God. Tickets are On Sale Now or at the Door for $15.00 per couple or $7.50 per individual. For more information, feel free to email me.

Fabulous Find: Hahira Honeybee Festival

The Hahira Honeybee Festival is here and excitement is in the air! Having grown up in South Georgia, I remember looking forward with anticipation to the Street Dance which was once a part of the festivities. It was always good, clean fun and has provided me with lots of fond memories.

Unfortunately, the dance is no longer part of the festival BUT there is still SO much for families to do. Tomorrow is one of my favorite parts of the festival-- an array of Arts & Crafts booths, food concessions, a 5K run, a bike ride, cloggers, a Kid's Zone, and even a dog show.

Bling Fling will be one of the vendors tomorrow. Bling Fling is an accessory and jewelry business owned and operated by Maranda Douglas. She carries over 100 different styles and all items are $10.00 or less. You can also find "Bling Fling" on Facebook.

Another booth close to my heart will be my Aunt Charlene's booth. She has embroidered bags and is doing something very close to my heart. November will be a year that my Aunt Hazel lost her battle to breast cancer. Aunt Charlene has bags with the Pink Cancer Ribbon embroidered on them and she can add "In Memory Of" and a name of your special lost loved one. She is graciously donating all proceeds from these bags to The American Cancer Society.

If you have some down time tomorrow, I hope you will head on over to Hahira and enjoy all that the Hahira Honeybee Festival has to offer.
