We were way overdue for this catch-up, Catherine F We were way overdue for this catch-up, Catherine Finkley Barton! 😍

Funny how one empty seat in “principal school” turned into years of laughter, support, and real friendship. Life has a way of placing the right people beside you at just the right time. So grateful for where it all began and how far we’ve come!

🎉 Congratulations to the Talladega High School 🎉 Congratulations to the Talladega High School Class of 1975 on your Golden Reunion! 💛

It was such an honor to take part in your celebration by honoring my beautiful mother, Barbara Garrett Glover, a proud member of the Class of ’75. Thank you for including her in such a meaningful way. 💕

And a huge thank you to Gilreath Printing & Signs for helping me bring this tribute to life so quickly with this beautiful car magnet. Your work and customer service made this day even more special. 

Wishing continued joy, connection, and celebration to the entire Class of ’75—cheers to 50 years! ✨

✨TOWNSIZING YOUR TRAVELS ✨ Big cities are fun ✨TOWNSIZING YOUR TRAVELS ✨

Big cities are fun—but have you tried slowing down in a small town?

Think: cozy cafés, mom-and-pop shops, friendly locals, hidden trails, and no crowds. Townsizing your travel means trading tourist traps for real connection and charm. 🌿🧳

From unexpected food gems to quiet strolls down historic Main Streets, small towns pack big heart—and even bigger stories. 💛

Where’s the best small town you’ve ever visited? Let’s build a travel list in the comments! ⬇️

My favorite person is celebrating a birthday today My favorite person is celebrating a birthday today. 😍

He’s not one for big fusses or attention (which is wild because he deserves all of it), but lucky for me, he doesn’t have Facebook—so I kinda get to slide this one in. 😏 (Unless some of y’all get to running your mouths. 😒)

This man…

🥹 Holds me down in ways I didn’t know I needed
🛠️ Can fix anything (including my attitude… sometimes)
😂 Keeps me laughing, even when I pretend to be mad (Don’t yall DARE tell him insaned he’s funny!)
💛 Loves quietly but deeply
😊 Has made everything fall into place for our family since we’ve had one

So today, I’m raising my glass (and my volume, even if he wouldn’t approve) to celebrate my favorite human.

Happy Birthday, Babe.
