The Heart of Dixie

[writing from a remote computer at Big Daddy's house]

For a true (although temporarily transplanted) Southern Belle who has just recently been informed by such a prestigious institution as Chase's Calendar of Events that her annual event has been accepted by the official publication, recognized as the ultimate authority on national and international events for every day of the year, as one of the newest events to be honored and celebrated beginning in 2005, what better way for me to celebrate than to spend a week in my beloved Old South at Big Daddy's house?     We arrived on Sunday evening to a glorious homecoming as I have not seen Mother & Big Daddy since late March.     Way-too-long for a proper Southern Belle to be away from her family!

This trip, although a wonderful visit with Mother & Big Daddy, is also even more special in that we're house hunting for a move back to my dearly loved Old South.     Yesterday was spent with a realtor visiting old houses, some even listed on the Historical Registries, trying to find the perfect place that whispered "home" for any respectable Southern Belle to consider afternoon teas on the veranda, and costumed affairs in the ballroom.     I think a glorious 1906 beauty with gleaming hardwood, original woodwork, 12' ceilings, and plenty of acreage has the potential to be completely restored to its original turn-of-the-century grandeur, complete with splendid gardens, statuary, water features and a multitude of other renovations, restorations and decorations to transform this into something uniquely my own.

Not dwelling upon all of those silly 'ole business ventures, partnerships agreements, meetings with attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, business planners, and all the other things my s.o. is doing this week to wrap up his affairs to perpetuate this move, I am merely reveling in the fact that I can envision the transformation of this already beautiful house into something absolutely spectacular, and beyond anyone's wildest imaginations.
