This weekend, I was at the beach in Florida with my sisters and other family members. While we were sharing photos, I found, on my sisters flashdrive, some long lost pictures I had taken. This particular photo was taken at the State Capital. Its a photo of a large picture replica of a postage stamp. You know the photo is a few years old, stamps haven't been 34 cents in awhile!

This is a house that is just a few blocks away from all the busy downtown activities. It's on a street that doesn't see much traffic. I have passed by within a block of it many times and never really noticed it. Now that It has caught my attention, I am very intrigued with it. I really love this house and feel it has some kind of great story within its walls. I would love to see inside the house and see the layout. I wonder if anyone has plans to restore this house like so many in the area. It kind of reminds me of that one scary ole house in the middle of a normal suburban neighborhood that I've seen in several movies. I hope to find out more about this house.

A soft drink by any other name is still a Coke.

Here in the South we use the word "coke" to describe any soft drink. "Let's go get a coke" doesn't necessarily mean you have to choose the Coca-Cola brand. I know--its complicated. But, we are also the same people that have "eyes" on our stoves. You know------ the round things on your stove that get hot and you put pots and pans on to cook things------the "eyes" of the stove. Anyway--I took this picture while strolling around in Old Alabama Town

I've neglected my blog-- but hopefully I've found a way to balance my time so I can spend more time here. Also--I am honored to be able to say I was the Guest Host for Skywatch Friday this week!
