Southern Frog
Well, we heard we were going to get snow. We heard it would be a lot of snow. It was! We had more snow than I have ever seen in a place where I have lived. We live in a retirement community and many of the people who retire here are from “up North.” This…

Southern Survival
Well, they say it is coming. An ice and snow storm. Last year we had the terrible ice storm that left us without power for seven agonizing days. It was not fun, but somehow, we managed. As I am writing this, I already have seen reports of 15,000 without power already in our neighboring state…

Southern Mardi Gras Memory
Last year, we had a fabulous Mardi Gras party. That was back before I started participating in the wonderful Tablescape Thursday, hosted by the always gracious Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. I only posted one picture from the party last years, so today, I thought I would share some pics from the party…

Southern Dreamin’
Last year at this time, we were without power because of the awful ice storm. Our weather forecast this week is calling for freezing rain and snow! This really is NOT working for me. I’m thinking of places I’d rather be. How about Jamaica – watching a RED sunset. What is the saying? Red sky…

I’ll be sharing some of those pics this week. Here are my favorite dishes for Springtime. Stripes and florals. Love them, especially in these dishes.…

More Southern Carnival
Well really, the best metamorphosis to me right now is how each day the sun stays out longer. My friends from Down Under are experiencing the opposite! Right now, as each day grows longer, I am more and more anxious for Spring. Nothing says Spring to me more than Easter, and of course, celebrating Carnival…

Southern Goodness
One of my favorite meals these days is smoked/grilled catfish. My husband and I have been experimenting with different techniques and have come up with what we think is the very best! We use a smoker/grill that is similar to the one my brother, Jay gave us when we got married. First, we season the…

Southern Memory
Meetings, meetings, meetings! This week has been full of meetings and still more to get ready for! So, I’m taking a trip down memory lane to a warmer, slower time. A time when it was hot and sultry instead of cold and frosty (actually, it has started to warm up here and was even in…
