Hi, I’m Becky.
Welcome to my little piece of the South!
I live on a farm in the southeast with my husband,
The Captain
He’s my hero. Named The Captain, because he is the captain of our team.
And my son, Boo.
He keeps me on my toes and busier than a cat in a sandbox.
We share our home with dogs, horses, a bird and other, not so domesticated, wild animals that frequently visit.
We have two grown children that live nearby whom we see as often as our busy schedules will allow. They have started their own families, which are growing rapidly with the newest additions added recently, just a month apart. You will hear about them from time to time on this blog as I love my children, their life partners and our grandchildren.
I grew up in the foothills of West Virginia, along the Kanawha River. My family and I moved to the South in the 90’s. And accepting the changes and differences of lifestyles has been a fun and interesting adventure.
I am a country girl who loves the simple life. I enjoy gardening, canning, photography, God’s creatures great and small and crafts of all sorts.
Since moving to the South, I have experienced all kinds of new adventures. From boating on the lake to riding in a hot air balloon. All of this through my family, in one way or another. And they relish in my sheltered country girl excitement. Teasing and snickering, every chance they get.
Here, you will read about Redneck’s chasing copperheads, hot air ballooning, farm life, local events and a host of scatter brained episodes.
So join me in my ordinary and sometimes comical adventures along this journey.
And thanks for stopping in!

Hey, Becky! Just had to say hi! I’m also a West Virginian. I live not far from the Kanawha River, just a little north of Charleston in the country. I really like your blog. I’m just beginning my blog and have lots to learn. I really love reading blogs like yours. You are doing a great job. I only hope I can someday get that good at it. I will certainly be a regular visitor of yours.
