This is me howling at the moon in West Point, MS, the birthplace of Howling Wolf. If you don't know his music, you need to look him up.

Oh, no biggie. Just a moment with Academy Award winner @morganfreeman in Clarksdale, MS. This was taken in 2010 for the book release party of Delta Blues. I edited this mystery anthology stuffed with crime and the blues.. and Morgan wrote the foreword to the book. A portion of the proceeds were donated to the Rock River Foundation which is a charity dedicated to helping the arts and literacy in the Delta. #ThrowBack #DeltaBlues #MorganFreeman #groundzerobluesclub

I was in the grocery store and saw these coconuts—and had a flashback to a nightmare incident. I was just learning to cook and I was intending to make a fresh coconut cake. The recipe said to bake the dang coconut. No other instructions. It seemed pretty hard to bake so I turned the oven on 500, rolled the coconut in, and went outside to play baseball. Of course the hair on the coconut caught on fire. My mother opened the oven and was horrified to see a hairy creature on fire. She sprayed the fire extinguisher into the oven. End result—new oven and I had to paint the kitchen. Yeah, it’s funny now, but at the time it was not!

Goodbye beautiful Mexico!

I'm vacationing in beautiful Mexico. Visiting some friends and doing research for a book. I wish I lived here! Swipe left for more pics. Some scenes from the town of Ajijic... Also some views from our morning walk. The elevation isn't bothering me at all - it's about 5000 feet. Hmm.. no I shall not take a dip in Lake Chapala. I love the mountains. Would rather battle Bigfoot in the mountains than face Jaws in the lake. #ajijic #ajijicmexico #retirementplanning

Wall of pink! My crepe myrtles are some showy trees, eh? Many people prune them, but I don't. They are beautiful to me, just as they are. I do cut the suckers around the base.

It’s almost 100 outside. I have watermelon for lunch—and so do the horses. Red is so old I cut it up for him and the girls. I’ll try to record the sound of them slurping it if I remember. It’s the little things that make life good. Happy Independence Day my friends 🇺🇸🍉

Today is my birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 This is a photo of me. I was cleaning out some drawers and found this photo from 1972 when I was 19 and working as a photographer/reporter for The Hattiesburg American. Another photographer, Bert Steel, snapped the photo. We had a lot of fun at the paper with Leonard Lowery, Fran Hawkins Utley, Gay Signoff, Elliot Chaze, Fitz, Robert, Robert Ellzey and so many more. I was absolutely positive I had the answers to all the important questions back then. #19 #BirthdayGirl #HattiesburgAmerican
