Boots McBlog bio picture

bonjour, y'all!

I'm a dash of Jackie O.  A pinch of Elly May.  A splash of Quelques Fleurs.  A jigger of pickle juice. My friends call me Boots. My name is JoBeth.  I'm just a southern girl who adores a great tune, a delicious meal, beautiful flowers, a frilly dress, and the perfect shoe. I'm married to a curly haired boy I call "The Angler".   I am a registered dietitian who loves burgers and chocolate chip cookies.   I survived being President of the Junior League.  I'm a daydreamer, an avid i-pod shuffler and a novice photographer.  I love to laugh.  I'm often silly with a heapin' helpin' of sappy. I'm blessed beyond measure and amazed by God's grace.  I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I try to keep my high heels walking in faith one step at a time.  It's been an incredible adventure so far. 

Like all true southerners, I come from a long line of storytellers. My favorite stories paint pictures.  And great pictures tell stories. I hope to accomplish both on this blog.  So,  grab yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick off your Manolo's and sit a spell on my virtual veranda. Flair and folly awaits.  

Do tell!

Tuesday’s Child: My “To Do” List

I’m a list maker.   I enjoy the art of organization of thoughts and deeds.  I don’t always love the execution of the list.  But I do heart a well deserved check mark.    I’ve spent the last few weeks finally making some long overdue checkmarks.   Getting projects done.  It feels amazing!   With...

favorite things friday: coconuts ~ piña coladas and a plan for “escape”

With the humidity and triple digit heat, it’s feeling rather tropical here in the South.   My itinerary doesn’t list any Tahitian destinations anytime soon.  Instead of trying to beat the heat,  I thought I’d celebrate it with a few lush touches at home and nothing says island life to me like a coconut.  ...

Musicality: Scala & Kolacny Brothers

This week thanks to a photographer  I follow on twitter,  I was introduced to Scala and Kolacny Brothers. Although they are new to me,  the group has been around for quite some time.  This pairing of a Belgian female chorus with classicly trained brothers has been turning out beautiful  cover songs since 1996!  How did...
