December Photo Challenge : Day 14

Hi everyone! It’s day 14 of the “December Photo Challenge” by Through The Eyes Of Gracie. Yay! 10 days to Christmas!

Joy is – to be able to spend time with your family during this festive season. (Since we stay away for home, it is just me and my Huz in our little family for now!)
Knowing that you have someone in your corner, taking your side and rooting for your success is joyous enough to keep you driven towards your goals and aspirations! (Touch-wood!) Lucky are those who have a hand to hold onto and a heart to adore!

“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching – they are your family. ”

December Photo Challenge : Day 12

Hey everyone! It’s day 12 of the “December Photo Challenge” by Through The Eyes Of Gracie. Yuppie!

“Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.”
– Joel Osteen

Trip To Chattanooga

Chattanooga, Tennessee is a “traveler’s nirvana!” Known for its various tourist attractions like – The Incline Railway, Rock City, Ruby Falls, Tennessee River-walk, Tennessee Aquarium and The Lookout Mountains to name a few, Chattanooga is an excellent vacation stop for tourists. The city lies 120 miles (190 km) north-west of Atlanta, Georgia, 120 miles (190 km) south-west of Knoxville, Tennessee, 135 miles (217 km) south-east of Nashville, Tennessee, 120 miles (190 km) north-east of Huntsville, Alabama, and 148 miles (238 km) north-east of Birmingham, Alabama. It is a growing, vibrant city which is refreshingly unique in its own ways. Tucked between the mountains of Southeast Tennessee, along the beautiful Tennessee River, Chattanooga, undoubtedly is one of America’s most breathtaking cities. Made famous by the 1941 song “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” the city brims with history, culture, new businesses, beautiful outdoor attractions and flavorful FOOD!

Since we both (Me and my Huz) are high on “travel-adrenaline” – Chattanooga was our next destination on the “travel-goals-checklist!” It took us 4 h 53 min to reach our destination from Memphis, Tennessee (Distance covered – 337.0 mi/542.3 km) via I-40 and I-24 E. With some exaggerated bends and picture-perfect scenic views – the drive gets better by the hour. Aptly called the “Scenic City,” the city has so much to offer and sight-see!

And with the Father”

December Photo Challenge : Day 7

Hey everyone! It’s day 7 of the “December Photo Challenge” by Through The Eyes Of Gracie. Yay! 18 days to Christmas!

With no snow yet in Memphis, I had to really, really look around for “something white” to click. Sugar, soap bubbles, my white crockery set, a white dress – nothing seemed to be “photo-worthy!” Thank God for the friendly (please don’t judge her by the looks, she IS friendly!) neighborhood cat who graced us with her presence at the last minute for a perfect click. (Who said that the cats don’t bring any good luck?)

Day 7 topic – SNOW/SOMETHING WHITE and here is my take on it –
