  • Southern Trip to the East (Southeast)

    We are so happy to have business to the East of us in Jonesboro, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. Here are some pics form our recent early September trip to these lovely places. The lake as we are leaving Mountain Home, Arkansas had a light fog over it. As we pass through the small town of…

  • 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 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…

  • Southern Recovery

    As I am writing this, New Orleans is preparing to play in the NFC Championship game in the Superdome in New Orleans. Five years ago, after hurricane Katrina, it was said that another football game would ever be played in the dome. Win or lose – the people of New Orleans have something to celebrate.…

  • Southern Trip

    Today, I’m still sharing some of our quick weekend trip to Vicksburg, Mississippi. If you have been following along this week, you know that we were there to visit my husbands high school, All Saint’s Episcopal. The school opened in 1908 and closed in 2006. He was there to talk to other alumni about the…

  • Southern Metamorphosis

    Sunday, my wonderful husband and I took a little drive. We enjoy driving out to the lakes or down to the rivers here in our little neck of the woods. We are always struck by the transformation of this house: It went from this (see above). To this: Isn’t that amazing. I’ll try to get…

  • Southern St. Patrick’s

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Hope you are wearing your green so you won’t get pinched. I remember as a kid people who didn’t wear green would say they were wearing green underwear so you wouldn’t pinch them. Didn’t you hate that? One of the biggest celebrations in the U. S. of St. Patrick’s Day is…

  • Southern Sunshine and Mobile, Alabama

    Hooray! Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. I don’t mind the dark mornings for a few weeks. Of course, I love it in June when you start hearing the birds singing around 5 a.m. and the days are looong. I love sitting on my porch long into the evening. In the Summer, I even brave…

  • Are You Southern?

    Just checked out Southern Living online. They asked the question, “What makes a person Southern?” Then they assembled a list of 40 things that every Southerner ought to do. I’ve decided to assemble my own list of things that I’ve done that I think every Southerner should do.  Some are from their list, but most…

  • A Southern Accent

    I am currently living farther North than I have ever lived in my life. It is still considered the “South” but it is different. I got to thinking about it. The South is a pretty vast region that is bound together with a common history but with still a lot of differences. We all say…
