Grannie's rose.

This heirloom was rescued from my great-grandmother's home in Pleasant Grove, Alabama, and now resides in my sister's garden in Chesapeake, Virginia. The sprays are compact and sweetly fragrant, and each flower tiny – only about the size of a US quarter.

i love the south. the ozarks and ouachitas, the piney woods, southeast texas, the mid-south, the lower delta, cajun country, the cumberland plateau, the deep south, new orleans, central appalachia, the smokies, the piedmont, the gulf coast, chesapeake bay, the south atlantic plain, the outer banks, the carolina beaches, the lowcountry, all of north florida… i just love it here and i love being from here. i love how diverse an area it is with so many different cultural identities and yet we all have solidarity due to common struggles and experiences. it has a lot of issues, and we as southerners have a lot of work to do, but i’ll never give up on us and our home.

A little arts and crafts project I'm working on: a little scrapbook of all the historic ships I've visited!

I took all the pictures with my Nintendo DSi, and I printed them with a little thermal printer that can print on sticky-back thermal paper. Along with the name of the ship and 2 of my favorite pictures that I took, I have the dates I visited and some basic info about the ship. I was considering including the ships current location, but pretty soon the SS United States will be at the bottom of the gulf of Mexico, and that's too depressing to see every time I open the book. Also, i need better pictures for 3 of the ships, so those pages aren't done.

The order the ships appear in and whether or not they get to be in the book is determined by when I stepped on board (with the SS United States being a special exception). However, I dont need to get on the board for a visit after the first for it to count. For example, on 8/11/25, I only saw Battleship New Jersey from shore. However, I was on board a few days earlier, so she gets to be in the book. Ships that im not capable of boarding may also be granted special exceptions. Also, there was oddly enough, an EXCLUSION due to special circumstances: Friendship of Salem. She's a replica of a 1797 East Indiaman named Friendship. I DID step on board, but she was undergoing heavy renovation at the time and everything was covered in tarps, so I didn't really get to "experience" being on board. If I ever go back after the renovations are done, she will get a spot in the book, but the first date I visited will be listed as the date I visited during renovation.

Also, the Visits section for the SS United States is so much larger and more ornate because the chances of me ever seeing her again are close to zero.
