Daffodil Garden Adventure

Hi everyone!
Today we went to The Helen Lee Daffodil Gardens in Gladewater, TX. 
Miss Jeanne, Miss Jessica and I had the most amazing day!
The flowers were amazing! The daffodils are on 28 acres of beautiful land, covered in amazing golden flowers. Where did all these flowers come from???

Well, a long time ago Mrs. Lee purchased an entire train car load of daffodil bulbs from Holland and some workers planted them. This is Mrs Johnson and Mr Dennis. Mrs. Johnson's grandparents, Mamie and Nathaniel Scott, worked for Mrs. Lee and helped plant these beautiful flowers. Mrs. Johnson is now the manager of Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Gardens and keeps all the visitors happy everyday. Mr Dennis works very hard to take care of all of the trees and the roads and the flowers! He is very busy!

I am very honored to have my picture taken with them. They work so hard to keep this beautiful garden maintained and open for people to enjoy every spring. Thank you Mrs. Johnson and Mr Dennis!

Daffodils smell so wonderful!

              Make sure you stop and smell a flower today....

it will make you smile.

 

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and

it felt so good!

We saw a lake there named Lake Josephine. Mrs Lee named the lake after her mom and she used to go there to enjoy the flowers and nature. It is beautiful!

While we were there, we got to see some people get married! We watched from far away because we didn't want to be rude and interrupt their special day. Miss Jeanne says we always need to show respect for other people and use our manners. I think Miss Josephine and Mrs Lee would have enjoyed seeing people be happy at their lake and gardens. 

Here is a picture of me and Miss Jessica. We had such a good time I smiled ALL day long!

           Aren't the daffodils beautiful!!

Did you know that a lot of people come from all over Texas, the country and even the world to visit the daffodils? Some people have even come from Bolivia, Brazil, England, France, Ireland, New Zealand, and Scotland! Those places are a long way away. Wow!!

Winter Formal Photo Booth Fun

 

Hi y'all!

Miss Jeanne and I took the Photo Booth to the Winter Formal in Lindale Saturday night. It was the first time I have been to a photo booth event and it was a blast!!    The theme was Mardi Gras Magic.  We had a great time!  This dance was a fundraiser for the Star Steppers drill team so we went shopping before the dance and found this great blue hat just like the Star Steppers wear.  Since this was a formal event I also got a new black bow tie.  I even got a new camera!  It was pretty exciting!

The photo booth was SO much fun!

I had a lot of fun with organizers. 

These are some hard working parents y'all! 

I had a lot of fun with the girls

They were all so pretty and very nice to me

Hanging out with the guys

Oh my...  I think I am blushing

We had a great time with the Photo Booth at Mardis Gras Magic. 

I smiled ALL night long!

 

If you would like information on the photo booth coming to your event please email or call Miss Jeanne at 903-805-5340  OR you can go to our website www.brickroadphoto.com  and send us a message. 

 

Have a fun day and

Keep Smiling!

Meet Nik

Hi y'all!
My name is Nik,  I am the new assistant and copilot to Miss Jeanne at Brick Road Photo. 
I can't wait to share my adventures with you as we  photograph some amazing people, places and things around East Texas.  
This is my new home office! Her name is Mimi and she is the Brick Road Photo Mobile Memory Studio.

Isn't she pretty?  She makes me smile.

I get to sit in the front seat and be Miss Jeanne's copilot,  shhhh... just between us...she NEEDS a copilot in the worst way, she gets lost a lot and drives way too fast  since I am new at this job maybe we should just leave it at she gets lost A LOT. ;-)
Here I am sitting on the poles Miss Jeanne uses for the Photo Booth.  They are kind of long and make the perfect seat for me so I can see where we are going.

 I LOVE my new job, it makes me smile!

Today it was too rainy to take pictures, so we drove to Longview to do a little shopping. The people are so nice in Texas, when I smiled at them through the van window, they smiled right back, some of them even waved! How exciting! 

I love to make people smile!

We are taking the photo booth to Lindale, TX on Saturday night.  Their High School is having a Mardi Gras Magic Winter Formal dance.  We were invited by the Lindale Star Steppers, I am so excited BUT I have nothing to wear to a formal event so Miss Jeanne and I had to go shopping.  Look what I found!  Some great Mardi Gras decorations and a very handsome black tie and a blue sparkly hat, just like the Star Steppers wear.  Exciting!

 

It was nice to meet y'all!  I can't wait to share pictures of how much fun we had at the dance.

 



I am new here and would love to hear from you and make new friends. I love your comments, they make me smile.

 

 

Keep Smiling!

Nik
