Hi!
Going to be running some errands early this morning, but--when I get back--I'll be checking out your new blog!
And, when I do, I'll be using a brand-new, special-for-today sig-block!
In the meantime, I'll be thinking of some ideas for a new title for this blog.
One title I can think of now is also the title to a country song that came out in the 1970s: "I Believe The South Is Gonna Rise Again!" Here's an even better one... The South: Past, Present, & Future.
I think I would go with the second one, unless you can think of one better.
And I think I've just thought of one that might be equal or better:
Southern Storms & Southern Comfort.
I think this would be the best, because it's very catchy and takes in hurricanes and other kinds of life's storms as well as those memories and current events that hug you like comfort food!
Gotta get going for now, but hope to be back here a little later!
Hugs!
AJ 
Just for a moment...
look for the light in the darkness
that never had the chance to shine...
Imagine what could have been,
if only things had been different...
If you decide to take this journey,
bring plenty of tissue,
because
chances are good
that you'll need it...

Thanks, AJ
Just to let you know, I've started another blog called "Living By Faith in the Real World." I've put in two entries and I'll be doing another today or tomorrow. Right now, I'm working on a Christmas story I started a few years ago but really got in the mood to work on so I may not post anything until later today. I'm working in the bed on my laptop, which my cat, Cinnamon, is attempting to open at the moment since I'm writing you on my desktop computer.
Anyway, I may rename my Katrina blog but I'm not sure what. Even though Katrina's devastation is still affecting me and my family and many others, there does come a time that the initial title of the blog needs to be readdressed so people will continue to read and I can post other things not necessarily related to Katrina without starting a new blog entirely.
Gotta go write for now. I really just came to this computer to get a file for the other computer.
Talk to you later.
Kimberly

You're not boring me at all, because...
...I know exactly where you're coming from!
Even in Indiana, we have communities where this is the rule instead of the exception. Not all over, but in several places.
My mom's birthplace of Cunot is one shining example.
Even with new people coming to the area--where they begin to write their own chapters in the Cunot story--there are family names in the community that keep renewing themselves generation after generation!
And we have a lot of this here in Madison County.
There's just a kind of comfort food feeling in this!
When I read this, I was reminded of something that happened in the Louisville, Kentucky area a few years ago.
Eminent domain came in and displaced an entire neighborhood called Highland Park.
This was something that was totally-unnecessary, and the people who lived there weren't treated fairly at all.
On the wall of one of the deserted buildings awaiting demolition, I saw this poem had been written:
"Friends together;
Friends apart--
We lived a life
In Highland Park!"
Don't ever get the idea that you're boring, because I'm enjoying reading about your life--and I know I'm far from being the only one!
Hugs!
AJ
