Sales Tax Holiday For Back to School

I can remember getting ready to go back to school and how exciting it was to stock up on a new wardrobe. Unfortunately, in those days, we weren’t treated to sales tax holidays, so we really missed out. But you can take full advantage of the offerings. I was amazed to see just how many items were on the list!

Sweet Dreams and Gorgeous Hair

It`s Saturday and that means it`s shopping day. From experience, it`s a lot easier to pick up what you need before you go on vacation than to rush out and pick up those items once you arrive.

Quotes That Paints a Picture of the South

 

Cypress Trees in Fog at Sunrise, George Smith State Park, Georgia, USA

I couldn’t imagine this trip. It was the most fabulous of all. It was no longer east-west, but magic south.

A Moonshine Still

A Moonshine Still

Just in case you’ve been wondering what a still might look like…

at least, that’s what it used to look like!
 
“Makin’ good moonshine is quite an art. It takes lots of time and practice before one can whip up a good batch that sells. Throughout history, there have been many ways of making moonshine. Some folks would add a special ingredient or perform a certain method during the distilling period to make their moonshine taste distinct.”

A Little Bliss While on Vacation!!

A Little Bliss While on Vacation!!

The first, some say the finest, always fabulous big bar, foams up fluffy with a fragrance that’s very verveine. Intensely scented, for long-last in the bath.
And who has time for boring bars of bath soap, especially while on holiday. I want luxury!! Plain and Simple. And they don’t call it big for no reason! I had to look twice at the weight of this bar!

Stretching Out With a Good Southern Book

Stretching Out With a Good Southern Book

I never go on vacation without packing a good book to go with me. I rarely have the time to read while I’m home, but for some reason the days are just longer when you are vacationing. And that is probably a very good thing!

Bringing Your Vacation Home With You!

Bringing Your Vacation Home With You!

Traveling, in my opinion, is all about making memories that you can enjoy long after you get home. That’s where souvenirs come into play. Whoever thought up marketing all those little bits and pieces that fall into this category was brilliant. Most of the items that you hand over your money for, would be laughed at if you weren’t on vacation. Admit it… lol… it’s true. Some of them are incredibly tacky!! But they are still little keepsakes and you can put them to use after you unpack them! No, they don’t have to go straight into the garbage while …read more

Things You Might Not Know About Walt Disney World

*Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End
1. November 11, 1965: Walt Disney announces Florida Project. I don’t know if this is true or just a family legend, but apparently my Aunt and Uncle were approached about investing in Walt Disney World. Knowing that much of Florida was swamp, they said no thanks. If it’s true, that has to hurt! My aunt is still alive… must think to ask her the next time I see her.

2. Did you know that there are zillions of hidden Mickeys distributed through the park by by Imagineers. Speaking of Imagineers… wouldn’t …read more
