Strolling A Historic Southern Town

~ Home Tours

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'”
‭‭John‬ ‭7:38‬ ‭

Days spent with my hubby are always my favorites.  Last Thursday, Butch had to travel for business and I decided to tag along!  I always look forward to spending a day riding in his truck, talking, listening to music, finding good local food, and taking a little nap…not for him, but for me!  Makes for a perfect day!  As we were driving about an hour outside of Atlanta, I noticed a sign for Madison…and although we’ve never been there, it rang a bell.  I had just read that Southern Living Readers voted Madison as one of the top ten South’s Best Small Towns.  I mentioned to Butch that we should stop there, but we were on a tight schedule so he said we would make a stop on our way home if it wasn’t dark.  We went on to our final destination and guess what?  On our way back, there was plenty of daylight left!  Just as he promised, we stopped and took a short stroll in this lovely small Southern town.  Lace up your shoes and take a walk with me…I covered a lot of ground in less than an hour!

 The Magnolia House was built circa 1860 and has undergone extensive renovations to restore its Queen Anne-style architecture.

The Fitzpatrick House, circa 1852, boasts Neoclassical features.  A large portion of Madison’s existing residential historic architecture was completed between 1830 and 1860.READ MORE

Tablescaping In The Great Outdoors!

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

 “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:15‬ ‭

As most of you know, in the warmer months, we find ourselves outside every chance we get!  I have been eager to take Tablescape Tuesday back to the great outdoors, and finally it happened over the weekend.  The skies were overcast, but hey, that made things a little cooler!  I love an alfresco setting because the backrop of the outdoors makes tablescaping decor very minimal!  So come outside and pull up a seat on our patio…underneath the pergola we had built last September!  I still haven’t finished what I have planned for the patio, but I’m fine with that…like I said, it’s the scenery all around that helps us enjoy it as is!
