At first I put “08.03.09” in the title of this post, and that should really be no surprise because quite frankly I’m not entirely sure what day it is. So I looked at the calendar because calendars are handy and I realized that it’s the 6th. I stand corrected.
Anyway, I’m at my parents’ house in Mississippi right now, but I wanted to post some links because they’ve been piling up for a few days and I’ll get all twitchy if I don’t share them.
– Clearly Ree is trying to kill me.
– I love Pete’s thoughts about solitude and trusted relationships. It’s a balance I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.
– My buddy Shaw-awn has had a rough month. And this post – with all of its heartfelt eloquence – is proof positive that God gives beauty for ashes. The follow-up post is even more stunning.
– Mama made this recipe (slightly modified, of course, and with grated parmesan cheese on top, of course) for supper Tuesday night. It’s one of my favorite dishes, but I haven’t made it in a sweet forever. Deeee-licious. Also: you can use ham instead of seafood, and the results are just as tasty.
– Several of y’all wanted to know how you can buy the “Love Story” CD. Well, you can buy it right here on iTunes. And just FYI: song #4 makes me cry.
– I’ve really cut back on the clothes-buying this year. But that doesn’t stop me from being just a teensy bit in love with this shirt. So cute.
Have a great Thursday! And I say that with great confidence because remember, I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR. I’ll be back later today or tomorrow with the latest round of Miss’sippi stories.
i can’t quit thinking about those shortbread cookie shortcake things. i actually laid in bed last night wondering how i could make the cream cheese icing and NOT sit and eat the whole bowl in one sitting. you’re right…she wants to kill us.
Good call on the shirt and isn’t that blueberry shortbread cookie just another bulleted point under the outline of Boberry Biscuit?
think about it.
I’m a teacher and I rarely look at the calendar during the summer…until about now. It feels like putting paddles on my heart to shock me back to Reality: school starts in a few weeks!
Thanks for posting the link to Shawn’s blog. You just have no idea…
I’ve cut back on clothes buying, too. (due to my husband, “new budget”) That shirt is stinkin adorable!!!!! And those shortbread cookies…YUMM!!
I have been mesmerized by what Shaun’s been writing and have awaited each installment. I really need to devote some time to going back and rereading because I know there is so much to be gleaned from his experience.
Thanks much for the link to Mandi/Brook Hill’s “Love Story.” Love it!
I was driving down close to my home in Pelham, Alabama today and low and behold…they are building a Bojangles!!! Right in my backyard!!! I can almost taste the BoBerry Biscuits now. I must admit that I screeched a little bit when I saw the sign.
Oh my Ree’s shortbread looks delicious, I’ll have to make some (too bad mine won’t look like hers)! And I love the shirt too! Have a good time in Mississippi! I had to spell that out so I could say it as I went along!
Oh my, that eggplant and crab thing is calling my name now. It looks wonderful!
