All right, I am just going to throw this out there. It’s hot. I felt like this summer was hot, but not as hot as summers in the past. But Friday was so muggy I couldn’t even sit on my front porch without extra fans blowing on...

School is back in session! Insert eye rolls, because all my teacher friends have done nothing but complain that summer went by too fast and they need another week. Yes, they do have to deal with kids all day, and God bless them...

It’s been just over a week since the Nappies were awarded, and the winners’ banners are starting to appear all over town. It’s such a sight to see! Of course some of Boozie’s favorite places have banners but have taken it a step...
