Southern Outdoor Plans
March 1st – Spring is almost here! Soon, I’ll be able to spend time in the yard and on the porch. My favorite places! I can’t wait to transform my porch back in to an outdoor room. My porch is an extension of my house. I live there as much as possible when the weather…

Southern PINK Lamp
I have had this lamp forever. I love this lamp but I haven’t had it out in a while. I’m looking for a place to put it. Doesn’t seem to go here. I really think I may need to find a place in my office for it. I really don’t like overhead lights in there.…

Southern Fun
Just finished recording the first session of co-hosting The Margaret Banks show with my friend, Margaret. It is billed as a show for women and those who love them. I really like this idea, because, even though her show is targeted to women, it would be enjoyed by men as well. If you are in…

Southern Craziness
My life is getting completely crazy! It seems like I just go from one meeting to another and in between, it is work, work, work. Thank you Lord for work to do! When people come to meet with us at our home office, we always offer coffee or a cold drink and we also try…

Southern Spring Fever
As I write this, I see that Texas, even as far South as Houston is getting SNOW! That is just insane. I remember when Fall was a couple of weeks in December and Winter was about a month or so between the end of December and the end of January. Oh, how I loved the…

Southern Greens
Collard, turnip, mustard – the holy trinity of greens and all three are wonderful. Southerners love their greens! Not only are they delicious, they are nutritious too (okay, now, don’t go reminding me about the ham hock, streak 0 lean, bacon grease, etc. that are added for flavor – we all know – they don’t…

Southern Spring Countdown
The daffodils are starting to pop out and soon the most wonderful metamorphosis of all will be taking place. Soon it will be SPRING! I have even added a Spring countdown clock to the sidebar on the left. This seems to have been an unusually cold winter and, although I have Spring Fever every year,…

Southern Sunday
I’ve been looking back over past posts and came across one I wanted to share with you. It is from February 27, 2008. Just a little less than two months after I started A Southern Life. I had no idea the impact blogging would have on my life or how many wonderful people I would…

Southern Whirlwind
Wow, it has been such a busy week. I feel like I have been in a whirlwind for a while (kind of look that way too!). Fortunately, I got to start the week by having my friend Paula over for lunch. She was such a sweetie. She brought me these flowers. As I have been…

I am very happy and honored that Margaret has asked me to co-host her premier show where we will discuss how technology and social…

Southern Ash Wednesday
Well, Mardi Gras was fun, but it is over now. The parades are done and gone are the bright costumes of purple, green, gold, red. Gone are the beads and boas. It is now Ash Wednesday. Now is the beginning of the Lenten season. A time of sacrifice and repentance. And, 46 days (40 days…
