Stay Away Hurricane Ike

 
Although hurricane season while living in or traveling to the south is part of life, no one likes to hear that a storm is coming their way. People rush to the nearest store to stock their homes with water, flashlights and the typical hurricane supplies (and yes, that includes supplies for that ever famous hurricane party) and the shelves are often bare. As word was out that there was no way to avoid Ike, I managed to remain calm and keep my plans for the week, yet remained glued to the TV hoping to catch word of any changes that …read more

Let’s Go to the Mountains: Helen, Ga. -An Outdoor Lover’s Paradise

The year was 1968, and the small mountain town of Helen, Ga., needed help. It needed something to bring in visitors. The town needed a makeover, so they went to a local artist for some suggestions. The artist happened spent some time in Germany and noticed some similarities between the two places. So, he developed some sketches that would transform a sleepy mountain town into an Alpine village in the South.
Today, Alpine Helen is a thriving tourist destination and is one of the more popular places to visit in Georgia – right after Atlanta and Savannah. Perhaps best known for …read more

Therefore, for the next couple of posts, I will be highlighting quaint mountain towns through the South and some of their holiday events. The hardest thing for …read more

With each holiday, I think that I leave at least one thing behind. What did you forget and when did you realize that you had left it behind. *I am notorious for leaving things hanging on the backs of doors.

Snow in the South

Snow in the South

“Snow in the South is wonderful. It has a kind of magic and mystery that it has nowhere else. And the reason for this is that it comes to people in the South not as the grim, unyielding tenant of Winter’s keep, but as a strange and wild visitor from the secret North.”
–Thomas Wolfe
Well, I have about a ton of it every winter that I would be more than happy to send south. For that matter, I will fill the car and deliver it to you!
