“Yeah, it’s St. Paddy’s Day. Everyone’s Irish tonight.” ~ Norman Reedus
“Be still and know that I am. Be still and know. Be still. Be.” ~ St. Patrick
Have a great day! And stay safe on this stormy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
“May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
Mark C.

Good morning! Well, it’s official… I’m a Blogger geek! At least that’s what my wife and son say 😊 This is my 3rd year doing a daily Blog & I don’t really see an end in sight.
Most Journals are private, this one is public. Published daily…
Many people write a daily journal or diary to get their thoughts recorded. I guess that’s what my Blog is in a way. It’s part life experience, part education & hopefully partly entertainment for others… In any case, it has become a passion & a daily activity that drives me to type & photograph & record things in my daily life. I’m not in any way comparing myself to one of my favorite writers, Thoreau, but I love and identify with this quote of his 👇🏻
Have a great Tuesday!

I took part in my first Podcast last night, and I have to say, it was fun 😊 It’s my good friend Matt Browns new thing, it’s called –
“The Down Town Get Down Podcast”!
Check it out 👇🏻https://www.facebook.com/downtowngetdownpodcast/
Matt has a cool set up for his new podcast. And some state of the art equipment!
The theme last night – History, Steaks & Waterfalls! 3 things we ALL Love!
Scott Parish cooked a ‘Great meal! NY Strip steak with roasted grape tomatoes & garlic with fresh Green Beans & Green Tomato Pie! Mmmm! It was Fire 🔥
The conversation flowed and the topics were varied… We covered everything from Jackson history, Andrew Jackson’s racehorse, Street cars in Jackson, old school Poolrooms & the hustlers within😎 underground tunnels, Waterfalls, taping TV shows, Rebuilding Gulf Shores Zoo, Cooking the best steak 🥩 you ever had & TRUE Ghost story’s! Wow! YES, I had fun!
Scott told some cool stories & cooked an AWESOME Steak! He’s been cooking and judging food for many years now. Super guy!
I’ve been doing radio for years now, so this was a comfortable experience. In fact, I can see this becoming HUGE! No commercials, no politics & your so much more free to express yourself, ie; NO censorship!
Old friends, good food & comfortable in every way = Great show! I Really like Matt’s new Podcast! Check it out for yourself. Here’s the link – https://www.facebook.com/downtowngetdownpodcast/
Here’s a link to the Facebook live video we did during the podcast. 👇🏻
So, thanks again to Matt Brown, Scott Parish & Tyler Roberts for a super cool 1st Podcast experience! And please, remember to like, share & follow 😊
Have a great day!

I spent the evening rigging this little wall hanging display of history in my living room. My fathers side of the family goes back to the beginning with the old company town of Bemis. LOTS of history here. My dads side of the family processed and spun the cotton into thread. My mother’s side grew, chopped and picked the cotton.
This is an old Bemis cotton sack and an old scale. My grandma & great grandma we’re both original Bemis Cotton Mill families. Something about seeing the name gives me a feeling of history.
Now machines do everything that was once done by hand… Prep, plant, spray, pick, gin, spin, sew & go – All by machine now. We have come a long way in a short time! 🙏🏻
“When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;
It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.”
~ Credence Clearwater Revival
Have a Great Sunday!
