Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.

Living Small Part II

You need to eat your grits to get off the grid.

A Charleston Christmas Story

Charleston Christmas, fables & traditions. How do "bin yah's" answer those ridiculous questions from "come yah's" Do you ever get snow in Charleston? Duh yeah, when we shake the grits tree! What do you do to get yourself in the spirit of Christmas? Oh, we spend a day at the coast gathering plough mud for making our Christmas ornaments and getting buckets of salt water to make taffy.

Instructions were few: "don't slam the screen door," and "take your flip-flops off at the door."

Those So-Called Christians

Instead of ranting on social media about prayer in schools or passing judgement on the beliefs of others, maybe it's time for so-called Christians to focus on the real issues.

My Very Selfish Goodbye

I couldn't start the New Year without paying tribute to the old.

Becca's Christmas Cards

Romancing the Palate

Bring back the days when a duck was a duck. And lamb was a sheep and not a sheep in wolves' clothing. Now, as an avid food-label reader, I am learning that less is best!
