Southern Strawberries
Wow, things are just getting busier and busier! That calls for an ultra easy dessert: Store-bought sugar-free angel food cake, sliced strawberries with Splenda and Cool Whip free – all stacked in a pretty brandy snifter. Can it get any easier and prettier than that? After a long, busy day, it really hits the spot!…

As you know, we walk every morning in our neighborhood. Took the camera along this week and took pictures of the Stars and Strips flying in the neighborhood.

Southern Red, White and Blue
We are getting ready for Memorial Day next week. I took a look back at how I got ready for Summer’s patriotic holidays last year. The table on my porch went from this: to this: With the addition of a few flags, some red and blue twizzle sticks and a red, white and blue ribbon,…

Southern Party!
Been traveling a lot this week to meet with clients! Something I love to do. In fact, it is one of my favorite parts about website design and internet marketing. Meeting with people and seeing what they do and hearing their ideas. Of course, on the other hand, that didn’t leave me much time for…

Southern Sunshine
We have been seeing a lot of this around here lately: So, I was so happy when it turned out to be a pretty sunny day for me to go to a neighboring county today to see some clients. To get there, you have to cross the White River. A good chance for some pictures!…

Southern Storms
Wow, we need some sunshine around here! I know they are really feeling that in areas that have been hit by floods and tornadoes. My bonus sister, Melinda, (some would refer to her as a step-sister) and her family were recently hit by these violent storms in Oklahoma. This store sits at the exit you…

Southern Tablescape on the River
Okay, technically, this is a “rock-scape” because we used the rocks as our table down by the White River. Check out past posts from this week to see the river house and some of the spectacular views. I may even throw in a few extras here. And, don’t forget, if you would like to have…

Southern Reunions
What a day it has been. As I came home from running some errands, I found a beautiful chocolate lab running down the middle of my street dragging a blue leash. If you have read this blog, you know what a dog (and cat) lover I am. Well, the sweet dog came right to me.…

Southern Outdoor Room
Between the rain, I have been outside creating another outdoor room/seating area. I need some blogger help. The umbrella I have is several years old. I am thinking about painting it with a weatherproof outdoor paint. Any suggestions? Here is what I created today. Ready for a new season here at A Southern Life. Any…
