Frozen Moments in Time

Oh my stars.....if you missed the "Celebration of the Arts" dinner on Saturday night, June 5 at the Rector Community Center you missed a fabo time!! I love these events! I remember the first one I went to..My son B. K. must have been in 9th grade. That night in December was the annual "Night of Chocolate", the Clay County Arts Council hosted a wonderful jazz band from Jonesboro and BK loves jazz. So even though, I really couldn't afford it at that time in our lives, I bought two tickets. BK and I dressed up and went down to the community center for a night that will be forever burned into my memory. I remember the twinkle lights, the chocolate fountain, and my son's glow of excitement. He looked so handsome in his blue sports jacket and khakis. The music was wonderful, the evening was enchanting and no other night will ever hold a candle to the wonderful time we shared together that crispy night in December. I have been to several of the Clay County Arts Council events since that time, but none do I hold as dear. Now, BK lives in California, and I miss those times together so much I ache. He will be 25 in July, but thanks to Mrs. Burns and her devotion to the Arts, I can always remember that 15 year old boy, all dressed up and enjoying his time with me....his mom. $50 tickets to dinner, $100 for a sports jacket and slacks and frozen moment in time.....PRICELESS.

How are you freezing your moments in time?
