Kentucky Whiskey Cake

Just a little something for those of you who really don’t care for fruit cake… although I can’t imagine why?? Anyway, here are the ingredients. Looks pretty decadent to me. Not that I’m giving up fruit cake any time soon, but when it comes to the holidays, I don’t think that you can have too […]

It seems that South Carolina is the state to be in for Christmas this year. There is something going on every single day of December. And more often than not, there is more than one Christmasy thing to do. So, get out a pen and paper and jot down everything you want to do. If […]

A Victorian Christmas at Maymont

You don’t have to fly over to England to enjoy a Victoria Christmas. You can do just that in Richmond, Virginia!

Roswell, Georgia

Ruby Falls, Tennessee

If you are in the Chattanooga area, you might want to check out Ruby Falls. It’s a 45 foot waterfall on Lookout Mountain and be sure that you take advantage of the fact that you can walk behind the falls. Now how cool is that? But it gets better! Ruby Falls is actually inside Lookout […]

Packing a Medical Kit

I was just looking over the list and I have to admit that there are some items that never occurred to me. No, not all of them are going to apply, but I did spot a few new items that I could include. I guess the good news is that I at least […]

Williamsburg Lodge, Virginia

If you are a history buff, you might want to indulge yourself with a few day’s stay at the Williamsburg Lodge. You right right next door to Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area where you will find historic buildings, museums and lots of tradepeople who are more than happy to explain how life once was. And then […]

Faye Dunaway … a Famous Southerner

I’m still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn’t feel like she belonged.
Faye Dunaway
