Welcome!

Greetings from the Carolinas!

The south is famous for hospitality and traditions. With that in mind, I would like to graciously welcome you to my Blog. Please join me while I share my passions and reminisce about life in the south.

I have finally realized that one of the keys to an amazing life is to enjoy the journey as we are working towards our goals & our dreams. Becoming a "Gamma" has been such a blessing and helped me slow down and enjoy each precious minute of my day.

A Country Drive out to a little local Farmer's Market!







I enjoyed my ride out in the country to one my favorite little farmer's markets and the local country store. I miss living out in that area. I had a nice little visit with the man inside the store and the ladies in the bakery inside the little market.

I decided to move to a townhome in town a couple of years ago after being robbed while away on business trip one July day. Thank goodness I was not home that day & I that I had invested in the CPI alarm system. It worked and they caught the group of kids from Haiti that broke in & took everything right down to my toilet paper. I really enjoyed living out there in the country in the Wendell area. It was so peaceful & only a few miles from Clayton and only 25 miles from Smithfield. My neighbor use to invite me out for rides on the four wheelers. That was fun! This was a very nice area and you really never hear of something like this happening. It was just a random act that day from a group of kids here illegally with nothing to do. I never met them but this is what the deputy told me that was heading up the investigation and restled with these guys. By the time I made it home that day, I had missed all the drama and just saw the mess they made. They actually ripped the alarm system out of the wall.

I was born & raised in the country and it brings me joy to go back for a ride in the country. Now I am off the computer for the day to make up something great to eat from the yummy treasures I found! Toot a loo......
I took a few pictures on my camera phone & made a slide show for you to view!  Take a look at that 13 layer chocolate cake!

  2. Terri,
    Something special about the Farmers Market. Such a humbly feeling! I stopped last Tuesday on my way home and pick up some corn, tomatoes, squash and some homemade organic strawberry jam. Joanie

  3. Yummy Joanie! I wish you lived closer. I would love to invite you over so that we can share some of our dishes!

    Aunt Diane, I bought that cake at the farmer's market in the bakery inside. It was so yummy! They have every kind of cake, pie, cookie you can think of. I took pictures of the bakery and goodies inside but for some reason couldn't find them on the camera.
