Nothing like waking up on a bright spring morning in the country and taking a walk among all the flowering trees.  There’s just one problem:  everything is yellow with pollen, and it’s the light, fluffy, powdery stuff that causes us country dwellers so much grief yearly.  Pollen, especially pine pollen like we have down south, …

I am being a real nerd today.  Seriously.  Since the year is almost over, I am just sitting around reminiscing about all that has gone on in 2011 and the years before.  I got to thinking about my wedding, my family, our house we finally moved into this year.  Everything has happened so quickly and …

Where I live is the same old town I was born and raised in, and around here we get excited about Christmas.  Ever since I can remember we have put up our lights inside and outside of the home along with our Nativity scene and garland.  The pine Christmas tree in our home gives off …

One of the many good things about country living is country cooking, and folks from the country will all agree that Paula Deen is the reigning queen of country food.  Born down South in Georgia, Paula hasn’t always been the world renowned Food Network star, cookbook author, and restaurateur she is known as today.  At one time, …

Cooking a casserole has to be one of my favorite things.  If you have never baked a casserole, then you just don’t realize how easy it is.  Basically you just throw some ingredients into a Pyrex and leave it to bake for about an hour.  Easy, right?  My husband loves to entertain, and he will …

In the south there are things that stick with you your whole life.  Things that include loving sweet tea, saying yes ma’am and yes sir to everyone, and country music.  Now I’ll tell you there are some folks from the south who don’t live that way, but in the sticks where I grew up that …

Well, September is almost here so surely you know what that means, right?  Deer hunting is coming soon.  Of course bow hunting starts up first.  Along with bow hunting season, comes the fact that I will be ignored until January first when deer hunting is over for good until the next September.  Now for those …
