Apr 03, 2013. Posted in The Thank You Project. Dear 830 Maple-ites,. Thank you for the sweet, inspiring messages you leave every now and again on your front porch! I often drive by your house in my quest to get from Devine Street to Millwood Avenue and back. I treasure the days I catch an inspiring message you’ve written on the small chalkboard that’s at the top of your front porch stairs. It’s usually just a few words or a simple thought but it never ceases to make me smile. The Thank You Project.

The cane squeezing. | Wordsmith
http://scwordsmith.com/2011/11/07/going-to-the-cane-squeezing
Nov 07, 2011. It’s pretty rare to have an opportunity to do something you’ve never done and a Saturday with no plans. That’s just what happened to us on Saturday. There was no soccer, no to-do list, no house project. Just an invitation to join friends at a cane squeezing at Hatiola Hunt Club somewhere deep in Barnwell County. What’s a cane squeezing you ask? No need to be embarrassed. I didn’t know what it was either. So I googled it and found this. When we arrived at Hatiola, an old homestead/hunt club/...

It’s baaaaaaack — fair haiku season! | Wordsmith
http://scwordsmith.com/2012/09/07/its-baaaaaaack-fair-haiku-season
It’s baaaaaaack fair haiku season! Sep 07, 2012. The Hilbilly As seen and shared by fairgoer Ryon Edwards. It’s that most wonderful time of the year (almost)! Fall means back to school early mornings, Gamecock football and the South Carolina State Fair. Continuing in the fine tradition of years gone by, that also means something else as delicious as an Elvis burger. Have a visit to last year’s beautiful haikus. Maybe you’ll win some fair tickets from me! On Oct 09, 2012 Reply. Don’t look down on me.

Apr 17, 2013. Posted in The Thank You Project. I own an original painting of yours and have for some time my best guess is eight or nine years by now. It’s a lovely painting of a bunch of flying pigs I discovered at Portfolio Art Gallery in Five Points in Columbia, South Carolina. I have no idea how you painted it, what inspired you to paint it, or when you painted it. What I do know is that the first moment I saw it; it spoke to my heart. And it has done so every day since then. The Thank You Project.

How to be a grown-up. Stories about waltzing through my twenties. Skip to primary content. Move over, Julia. June 11, 2013. On our honeymoon, I brought two suitcases: one for clothes, one for books. After twelve pre-wedding weeks that were full of busy. Near the end of our days in Mexico when we had settled into our dream-like routine, when we had visited a Mexican doctor, when Jivan had watched him give me daily antibiotic shots, when we had clasped hands in the waiting room and felt suddenly married.

My Mother's Attic. A Mother’s All-Star Memoir. Odds and Ends Revisited, en papier. March 29, 2015. March 29, 2015. By Martha Mattingly Payne. 8220;My papers and memorabilia from Live Oak cedar chest,” wrote my mother. Here, the Adventures of Little Jack (o’lantern, presumably). I like Florida oranges Sept. 28, 1926. Today, a hodgepodge from the Attic because for one thing, I like the way the word rolls off the tongue. Sort of pleasure: mishmash, muddle, pastiche. How’s that for a. Keeping track of time.
