Jun 15, 2021 | Rita

One of my favorite things to do is shop for fruit and vegetables at my local farmers market. In fact, when I am at my brother’s house I visit the farm around the corner from him and purchase fresh eggs, blueberries, and so much more. I love the farmers market and will be the first…

Sep 11, 2018 | Rita

Being Southern isn’t a choice, it is something that is bred into you. You either are or your aren’t. Now you can move down here and pick up plenty of southern mannerisms but you aren’t born and bred. It isn’t a bone deep and one of the best things is no matter how long you’re…

In the South
