Southern Patriotism
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. I love the colors of the flag with the early morning sun shining through. Because it is the week before Memorial Day, I thought this would be…

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 Sunday
Happy Sunday! I am remembering a past post where I just took a stroll around the yard and enjoyed God’s majesty! Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are…

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 Corn
Just saw at the grocery store that Florida corn was in and on sale! Why do I love Florida corn? The truth is because my Mama always told how good it was and it is imprinted on my brain. My taste buds just naturally follow, but I think that it really is good! Corn is…

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 Day at the River
Just a few more pics from our day at the river with Ann and Randall Messick. What a beautiful place they have. I’m not sure how they can bear to part with it. If you would like the house that has these spectacular views on the banks of the White River, visit them at http://www.OzarkHomeTeam.com.…

Southern Trout
Yesterday, I showed you some of the pictures I took from my friend, Ann’s, river cabin. I have a few more to show you today, along with another recipe for trout, which is very abundant in the beautiful White River on which the cabin is located. It is just so beautiful down there along the…

Southern River Cabin
Sunday afternoon, we visited with Ann and Randall Messick at their river cabin. It is a fabulous place right on the river. They have made it very cozy and it is now for sale! The perfect spot for someone who wants to get away from it all on the banks of the beautiful White River…
