Alabama Livin'

I was telling someone the other day about our trips to Alabama and what we do. I think this person was wondering if I wear camo the entire time and that my child runs barefoot all over the countryside.

While some of that may be true, I had to tell them what we do when we go to visit our Alabama family and I have to tell it sounds pretty good.

My parents live out in the country. They have a beautiful home that is nestled snuggly between a hay field, woods and water. They have a natural spring beside the house that feeds in to a pond which feeds in to a creek. Yes, when I was younger we played in the spring, pond and creek.

You can see deer, rabbits, turkeys and a whole host of other creatures while sitting at the table enjoying breakfast.

Evenings involve sitting outside on the porch in front of a fireplace with music playing, delicious food and the occasional adult beverage. If it is football season, the Alabama game will be on.

We definitely do not go hungry while we are there. And, my son does not go without love and attention while we are in Alabama. We get to visit with parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, grandparents and so many people who love us. We are blessed!

So that is just a little bit about what we do in Alabama. Roll Tide!
