Recipe to come. The Sweet Potato Hash Browns aren’t mine–I pulled them from Frank Stitt’s cookbook, and they are fabulous.
The Week That Was
Not much to report on the last week. Good progress on the Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama calendar along with a quick “Save the Date” postcard for their fall fundraiser. Got a partially complete website for the Tombigbee RC&D Council (www.tombigbeercd.com) that I’ll be filling out in the coming weeks, started gathering information for the next issue of the Sierra Club newsletter, Alabama Sierran, and the CGH Insider newsletter–both to complete next week. Oh, and I completed another AIA Birmingham newsletter along with a couple of additional pages for that website (aiabham.org). I added a Joe Watts biography page here on my blog.
Swinging in the 1970’s
Here we are having a great time on the swing in Octagon, Alabama. Julia, Joe, Stacy (in my lap–my first niece!) and Cynthia: a nice selection from the Watts family!
Good times. I still love that old, rusty swing.
Who Are These Children
Scanning in old slides again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Who are these children?
A Cold Day in August: Snow in Octagon
Well, this was actually January 1964 and the person shown is my sister Margaret. Nothing like a good hot summer day in August in Birmingham, Alabama to make you wish for and appreciate the cold snow found in January in Octagon, Alabama. I wonder how many times it has actually snowed there. This is in front of our house in Octagon, Alabama: the house my mother (Inez Hinson Watts) was raised in as were all of my siblings.
