Seeding Spartanburg

But, take a look at my first tomato and cucumber. I'm so proud. And they were yummy. It's the little things that mean so much, huh? Happy Monday to all. Have a great week! t

My oh my. Do read Rep. Doug Smith’s (R) piece in the Herald Journal today on Spartanburg GOP Chairman Rick Beltram. I can safely say…Doug Smith has never made my day, but he did today. I am glad to see Smith stand up in an effort to take this party back from the fringes. It’s [...]

Ok. Let me start this post by saying I’m no economist. I don’t claim to be and I’m not going to sit here and spew some talking points that a political party gave me about a topic that I really don’t understand. I prefer to search for my own understanding of things not the Wall [...]

I was venturing around the Web earlier tonight seeing what bloggers had to say about yesterday’s SC primaries in hopes of finding something interesting to blog about. And sorry…I got nothing. I wasn’t expecting much…we all knew it was going to be an anti-incumbent year and that’s what we saw.  We do live in SC. [...]
