An Almost Southern Way of Life Blog & Art Showcase
Hubby’s second job sometimes requires travel, and I’m sometimes invited to tag along! A few weeks after our fabulous trip to coastal Maine, hubby and I traveled to Louisville, KY, for a conference. Neither of us had ever visited the city though we’d traveled around it many years ago on…
We’re almost done with this travel blog, I promise! On our last full day in coastal Maine, we visited the quaint and charming town of Camden. We got there just as the shops were opening and shopped until hubby got grumpy. We urgently sought out Zoot Coffee and resolved the grumpiness…
Our fifth day in Coastal Maine was my birthday, so hubby planned a special day. We started with a foggy morning again, but soon it was clear enough for us to drive the short distance from the Bar Harbor Inn to the trail around Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park. Jordan…
Are y’all tired of this topic yet? I hope not! I love re-visiting these memories of a glorious vacation to coastal Maine! Our fourth morning was foggy, so we ate a fabulous Continental breakfast at our hotel, Bar Harbor Inn, strolled along the Shore Path and read historic markers along the way,…

Our oldest son married his college sweetheart last Friday. They are off on a great adventure, first to a couple of national parks in the west, and then on to real life in Starkville, Mississippi. The bride has a master’s degree in nutrition, and she is Vegan. As soon as…
I’ve not posted in a while because life has been busy and also a little overwhelming. I’m struggling with some changes in my life. My oldest biological child graduates from college this Friday and marries his college sweetheart next Friday. He begins a new professional job June 1 while he…
This past weekend was a busy one. Family and friends gathered at the Pentecostals of the Gulf Coast to tie the knot between our Tiff and Mr. Nate (Lynn)—and little Alaura. It started on Thursday morning with my mom, who patiently waited in her van, already full of silk flower bouquets…
