The book title, Memories From Home is the result of something my dad said to me when an article that I had written about my grandmother appeared on an entire page in my hometown paper. He said, "you sure brought back a lot of good memories for me." And, I knew that was it, it had to be Memories From Home! Thanks Daddy! I love you.

Since I have been writing for some years now I've included stories about my childhood and stories of growing up in the place that I love the most, the south! There is no place like it on earth. And, if you were lucky enough to be born here, or live here now, you will understand what I mean! It is a world of gracious living, and wonderful kind people.

Enjoy, my friends.

What is a vacation without the great meals? It's a fork in the road, some time away from home. But add a great meal and it's an adventure. One you will never forget. Laughing kids, hot coals, and sauce you can't get at a restaurant back home. Savor it. The first time, and the time years from now that you are reminded of it. These are the best times of your life. You can make 'em last. Just like the thirty year old story you just told. Family and friends and a trip to the grocery store are all the ingredients you need. The rest is up to you!
