I just wanted to pop in with a little share about dad today. Last week, July 14th, he turned 97  years old. Mark and I went by to see him and I took him a card, balloon, and an ice cream treat and he was so happy we did. He was quite talkative that day when I reminded him that it was his birthday and how old he was. He's such a sweet man and when I have conversations with him, it always comes through how grateful he is for where he is in life.  The post Dad Turned 97! appeared first on Southern Hospitality ..read more

Mark and I are so excited to go back to Italy and we sure would love for some of you to go with us.

I've shared many times with you on the blog about going to St. George Island, FL with Mark's family. They've been going for close to 30 years, but the last year the big family went was 2017. Things became more complicated after that, with jobs, marriage, babies, etc. The kids were growing up and it was harder and harder to get them all together for one week of the summer. That was the year Mark and I got married, but we did manage to go back to St. George a couple times after that, but it sure wasn't the same without all the family. It's so much more fun with everyone around. We went back in ..read more
