In 2013, we had a burgundy front door. That looked like hell because 13 years of wear and tear will do that to a door. So I decided that I was going to paint it myself. Our house color is white so I wanted a color that popped. I chose Paradise Green by Sherwin Williams… Continue reading Green Doors Can Heal You
She’s Done
Anna’s done. With high school. Oh sure, she still has four more years of school ahead, but she’s done with schooling here in our little town. It was a day full of obvious emotions. Pride. Sadness.

Thank You, Alabama Rooster-Destin 2018 Pt. 1
Before I start our story, we need to address the traffic on the way to Florida by me telling you this: don’t drive to Florida. Seriously. If you are even thinking about it, stop. Stop it right now. Because this is what awaits you: Lots and lots of that. To be clear, I live… Continue reading Thank You, Alabama Rooster-Destin 2018 Pt. 1
