My mom really loves this picture. Just thought I'd post it for everyone. The little ant in the center of the shot was trying to find his way out of the tree. At least, that's what he appeared to be doing...

A few of my favorite things...
I saw a little kid riding on the lawn-mower with his dad yesterday. It made me smile and giggle, too, as I drove down the road. Reminds me of growing up and riding on the mower with my mom.
Getting mail from BJU: it's always addressed to MISS Jamie Shaw. None of this "Ms." ambiguity mess. I truly despise that term. Women go to great lengths today not to be identified according to their marital status. It makes me sad.
Sweet Tea... mmm: we don't have it at our house much because we try to choose "healthier options" (i.e. juice, milk, etc.). But I don't think it's just the actual tea that I love, it's all that it symbolizes-- the South!
Conversing with an audience. I love acting and especially entertaining an audience. I don't think, though, that acting is merely a performance. It's more like a dialogue with one's audience. Delivering a line or idea, pausing to allow the audience a response, then answering that response; all timed according to that night's specific audience. It's beautiful, and I love it!
Charleston: I absolutely adore that town. Even the things that most people would hate about it make me happy. When I'm driving down there from home, I can smell the marshes about 50 miles out. I love that smell! My hands get stickier because of the humidity as I drive on what has become a very straight/flat I-26, and I get excited because I'm almost there. I grew up in the upstate, but when I think of all that is South Carolina, I think of Charleston. And even though the tap water tastes funny, I still LOVE Charleston!
July 4th. I am a patriot! It's been instilled in me from the moment I was born, and no one will ever break me of it. I love seeing the colors flown respectfully and wearing red, white, and blue. I stand to say that America is still the greatest nation on earth, and I'm proud to be an American!
Magnolias and pearls: symbols of the South. One day, I hope to be a true Southern Belle.
There are others, but this post is getting way too long ;-) Thanks for listening!
