They're Coming To Take Me Away!

Behind the trim lawn and pretty trees is the paper mill Tom
 began working at in April. Did I mention its in South
Carolina? Kind of a looong drive to work from Ohio. !
April and May were a whirlwind of major decisions we weren't ready for, and a lot of saying good-bye. I wrote about these pictures in June, but just found them today! So here's the start of my southern living in pictures.

Many things have happened this year and I hope to begin catching up on them! One major event was the publication of my book---which was the "handle with prayer" reason for this blog when I started it in 2006. I'm so happy to have it delivered---yes, delivered-- it's almost like having a baby. Click here to order the book or just see what it looks like: Postcards from the Widows' Path

People are saying the nicest things about it and I'm so thrilled that they love it!

Now that the book is done, I intend to change the title and look of this blog. Life is still fragile and needs to be handled with prayer (the previous title of this blog). But now this will become my place to log in about the Up North girl living Down South, right near the cotton fields and Alligator Road. Will I ever adjust or fit in? Will I ever start saying "Y'all" or "Bless your heart?" Come back to find out!

2930 Johnston Ave, Timmonsville, SC 29161
So . . .we found a house in SC.
It's much prettier now that leaves are on the trees. We will
enjoy the wooded acreage we own, too

Tom also interviewed in Tennessee near this nice park,
but I'm glad we ended up in SC.

So glad to see this - looking forward to hearing about your adjustment to this new "territory" I have no doubt God will bless it and enlarge it!

We are so fortunate to be here, and for Tom to have a job. I've always loved moving to a new house or new area, but this time it's really thrown me off balance. God obviously wants us here and has truly blessed us but it's very different this time. thanks for your encouragement though, i really appreciate it. :)

Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
