Belize

Belize is incredibly beautiful. We visited the Altun Ha Belize Mayan Temple.  The temples date back to 100 AD. It was amazing to stand and look at something so old and majestic. Reaching Altun Ha is not easy though - one hour by river boat followed by another hour on a bus. However, we were able to see so much on the journey including holler monkeys, beautiful foliage and a lot of iguanas.

Crazy People in the South

I love my "crazy" family members; however, I usually refer to them as eccentric.  And I am proud to say I have them on both sides of my family as well.  I have mentioned before that Dixie Carter was my hero.  Her character, Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women, sums up "Crazy" in the South so well. 

From the Words of Miss Audrey

 

I wanted to share a few beautiful quotes from a beautiful lady.  I almost named my daughter Audrey, but like a good Southern momma, I gave her a family name.   

We certainly need these examples of a true lady today. 

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that loving is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

 

" For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

 "If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy tales and I like them best of all."
