It’s a sign of progress that we have equality in recycle and garbage bins. However, I can guarantee you there is more [...]
Ruby Alexander (my grandmother) was one-of-a-kind. She played the jitter bug on the piano by ear and she danced even when she was so old that all she could do was sit and flail her arms and legs to the music. I am fortunate to have her blood in my veins and her table in my diningroom. I’ve [...]
It’s spring break, so my husband took the day off of work and we decided to take the kids to see Rock City in Lookout Mountain, Ga. Here are a few pictures. The swinging bridge. We even ran into the Easter Bunny. (My kids now think the Easter Bunny lives at Rock City.) A good time [...]
