Our Favorite Places
Taking Tea
Miss Lily Clare Butterworth is the only grandchild we have. One of our
favorite things to do is go out for tea. One of her first experiences with
"taking tea" was at the Willows, a tea room in downtown Panama City, Florida.

Family and Genealogy
Genealogy
In this section you will find information on family lines that I have researched
that are pertinent to my family. I do not have the individual proofs...only
the
working files that I have made available. There are pictures that may be
useful to many.
Southern Family
When my children's eyes started glazing over when I talked "genealogy" I decided
to write a history/cookbook of our families. I put these on a CD so that
the pictures would not be lost and all who had the CD would have the information
and the pictures. These are chapters from that book.

Recommended Book List for
Children
Have you ever wondered what book you should buy for your child or
grandchild that stands the test of time? Marva Collins list of books used
at her Westside Preparatory School in Chicago should help answer that question.
Novel installment
I am currently working on a romantic historical novel set in West
Alabama the early 1800s, based on the Creek Indians. As I process all the
research necessary for such a book, a few articles will probably appear here on
these topics. Perhaps an agent will spot this and eagerly snap up the
opportunity to actually publish...in hardback...this romantic novel. The
working title is "Swimming with Serpents." I will share Chapter One with
you here. Remember this is just the first draft of a potential 400 page
novel.

Reading List for Adults
What books did our founding fathers read that prepared them for
writing the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution? These were
books in a frontier library listed in Benjamin Hawkins Estate in 1816.
Hawkins corresponded frequently with Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe.
