A Southern Life

Big Move! – Also Known As A Leap Of Faith

Believe it or not, I am now in New Orleans. I loved the beautiful Twin Lakes area of Arkansas and will be back often to visit with friends and clients, but for now, I’m coastal!

Things I am loving so far in New Orleans include:

Trees that bloom in January
Trees that bloom in January
Fresh Gulf seafood
Getting dressed up for a Mardi Gras Ball
Huge, old oak trees
Huge, old oak trees

One of my favorite experiences when we first got here was learning about Mr. Okra. I was unpacking boxes and started hearing a voice over a loud speaker. I wasn’t sure what he was saying at first so I went out on the front porch to investigate. Here he came in his produce truck.

Mr. Okra

I love the sign on the truck that says, “Be nice or leave!” I’ll get video of him to post for you when I get a chance.

So much to share – I’ll just have to absolutely make the time!

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    At this time it sounds like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Aw, this was a really nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never manage to get anything done.

    Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
