But now to the news worthy kudos...
My great state of Alabama has been in the news a lot lately...mostly for the terrible devastation we suffered in the April 2011 tornado rampage. My friend and me are so thankful for all the unselfish, tireless, loving help that has been offered to the victims. As I've said before, many friends and many areas were affected that are still so close to my heart.
However today I want to share a little happy... (a long overdue post that took second fiddle to the storms!!)
First...
If you are a 'Southern Belle', or have your heart in the South, or stepped your foot in the South; then "Southern Living" is a must read!!
And Southern Journal with Rick Bragg lets you experience places that maybe you've visited or wish too...
Imagine my surprise when I opened my May issue and discovered my hometown, Winfield, Alabama, had been featured!! WhoooHooo!!
That's right, featured for yummy, good, traveling food! You can stop for a fill 'er up car and folks all in one swoop!! (Highway 78 is known to locals as Corridor X and soon to be I22 when it is finally connected from Memphis to B'ham!!)
Another favorite magazine is...
And the spotlight was given to a Winfieldlian ("Is that a real word?", my friend asks.) Okay, a hometown lady! I've known the family (grandmother, aunts, father, mother, sisters; you get the idea!) for ages and Vanessa is sooooo talented!
Not only talented but a beautiful young lady and a very happy married couple...(Did you notice husband and wife always make time to reconnect over dinner at that table? A very important time...)
If you live or traveling along the roads of small town America share with me some of your little happy...
I so enjoy reading your comments!
Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!
