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". By day, I'm a healthcare stategist with a passion for NonProfits. I have a Masters degree in food. Literally. I am a registered dietitian, but I do love 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 try to keep my high heels walking in faith one step at a time, It's my prayer to help other women live beautiful, gracious lives.
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!

Bonjour, La Niege.
It’s a snow day here in La Petite Roche. Nearly three inches stand in my yard. There is a blanket of stillness. The white. The cool. The hush. The slower pace. It has all the makings of a perfect little day such as
Languishing in the biscuit.
A special snow day menu
Snow day couture: fuzzy socks + warm blanket

Curling up with a good book
maybe a little adventure and snow- ploration
then a long hot bath to thaw, followed by a cup of chocolate love

What a gift God has given us today to slow down. I hope you make the most of it.
Cheers, Y’all!
