I am not sure that there is much that is more pure than your first best friendship. I remember mine vividly. We were best friends from the age of about three until six, when my family moved. At that age, there was nothing but joy in the relationship – no competition and really no concerns [...]

June 24th, 2011 LeeAnn Have you looked at any of the healthy living blogs out there? There are hundreds of them. The majority that I have seen are done by women in their 20s – and they are amazing. The women are attractive, motivated and incredibly organized. They blog once or more a day and they share each of [...]
Crafts for the Artistically Challenged
June 20th, 2011 LeeAnn I have some very talented relatives – both blood and by marriage. My grandmother Williams was very artistic. She did needlepoint – and she would start with a blank canvas and create the picture as she went. She completed upwards of 20 dining room chairs – probably closer to 30. The ones she did for [...]
In Anticipation of Father’s Day
June 16th, 2011 LeeAnn I was very fortunate to have had all of my grandparents in my life. My grandfathers were particular favorites – and I love knowing that I showed them that. Grandpa Monroe died when I was three. I have several very vivid memories of him, and always love hearing stories about him. He was a man’s [...]

We asked Jimmy, [...]

I will definitely make it again and would also serve it at a dinner party. I paired it with a salad made with romaine, vidalia onion, tomatoes, feta, diced [...]

June 6th, 2011 LeeAnn As I mentioned in a previous post, I love music. I enjoy finding and comparing versions of a song. It is interesting to me how people singing the same song can put such different meaning or feeling to the words. The below are some of my favorite examples. We’ve Got Tonight Bob Seger wrote this song and I love [...]

June 2nd, 2011 LeeAnn I have been diligently attending a yoga studio in Savannah. I am very determined to maintain my practice while in the mountains. In fact, I was very excited about yoga in the mountains – this is what I envisioned: (I probably don’t have to say this, but just in case – that is not me. [...]
