An Almost Southern Way of Life Blog & Art Showcase
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve added to my blog. You may remember that in September, Hubby and I had traveled to Arches National Park and then on to Salt Lake City. It was about 10 days following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Despite the extensive news and…
On our way out of Denver toward Moab, Utah, we stopped at Frisco, where we’d snow tubed in February. The aspens were turning yellow, and the view from The Summit overlook was spectacular. I love how the Lord creates a pretty picture. He is the G.O.A.T. artist! We stopped in…
Shortly after getting home from The Breakers, we took off for Denver, Colorado. The conference was at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, just a few minutes from Denver International Airport. On our first evening, we found very tasty Indian food at nearby Coriander. Then we came back to the Gaylord…
Y’all, I’d never heard of The Breakers before Hubby announced we’d be attending a conference there in September 2025. If you live near Palm Beach, however, The Breakers is iconic and ooh la la. The current hotel is 100 years old and one of Henry Flagler’s first luxury hotels. Everyone (U.S.…

Day 2 Hubby and I have been to London a few times. Still, there are beautiful places we’ve yet to explore. I typically start reading blogs of recent travelers and pinning them on my “Places to Go” Pinterest board when we begin to plan a trip. We found Little Venice…
A couple of weeks ago, I drove behind my baby girl for seven hours to help her move into a dorm for the last time. I’m thankful that the trip was uneventful, but I slaved away on setting up her one-person room for about 10 hours! We did shop for…
“Baby Girl” has had a low platelet count all her life, and her primary care physician decided about two years ago to try to figure out why. She’s given tons of blood samples since then and was diagnosed by a local hematologist as having Von Willebrand’s disease. This summer, we…
The day following my special birthday dinner by Chef Justin Ward, Hubby and I hosted a bread making class with our Chef and his special flour. Justin has grown in notoriety in the US the past few years with his research on the differences in flour made from wheat grown…
