Southern Classes
This afternoon, I spent my time on the beautiful campus of Arkansas State University, Mountain Home. It really is a fabulous campus with beautiful buildings. I was teaching a Facebook ABC’s class. Great attendance and class. Thank you so much to everyone who attended. I’ve been thinking that I would love to share some pics…

Southern Green
St. Patrick’s Day, what a fun holiday. I remember as a child, being sure to wear green so I wouldn’t be pinched. It really wasn’t too much of a hardship because green is one of my favorite colors. I’ll have to say, although I love the holiday and the spirit of the holiday, I’m not…

Southern Spring Fluff
I’m ready to start “fluffing” the house for Spring. I’m going to have to do this a little at a time as time allows. I’m a little discombobulated from the time change. Sometimes, I wish we would just pick a time and stay with it! Anyway, my coffee table is always the first thing to…

Southern Luncheon
Had a great time with my friend, Christy Case Keirn, who came for lunch today. Tablescape and more details to come later. I had planned on making lemonade cookies with lemonade frosting, but I got really busy and didn’t get around to it. My backup plan was to make lemon sugar cookies, but they had…

Southern Shrimp Cravings
I’m craving shrimp today. Not just any shrimp I want Wild American Shrimp – for me, that means from the Gulf of Mexico. Such a wonderful flavor. I don’t want to be bamboozled! I like shrimp most ways but today, I am wanting it barbecued, Pascal’s Manale style. You may need three or more pieces…

Southern Pruning
The Crepe Myrtle is one of my favorite trees/bushes. When everything else in the garden starts looking a little tired in the hot days of summer, the Crepe Myrtle still shines bright. Unfortunately, the beautiful Crepe Myrtle is also one of the most abused of plants. I have seen such abuse in my own neighborhood…

Southern Reflections
So glad to see March arrive. That really means that Spring is just around the corner. My husband’s birthday is March 21st so it is always near the first day of Spring. Just another reason to celebrate! This seems to have been a tough winter for so many. Around here, we are just really ready…

Southern Respite
During the week, breakfast is kind of a hit and miss sort of deal around here. More often than not, I grab something as I am sitting here at my computer with a cup of coffee as I am working. Weekends, though, are another matter. Even though there is plenty to be done on the…
