At the Southern Accents website, there's a new blog called
Miss Gracious Living, and it's wonderful (plus one of the writers is Dawn, the Managing Editor there - hi Dawn!). Last week, Karen, who is another contributor, even posted a short video about
how to recreate at home the "Orange Thing" cocktail that's made at Highlands.
What's funny is that one of the other posts was about poor customer service - it reminded me of a time I went to Hancock Fabrics and the same person wound up cutting the fabric I picked out as well as ran the cash register. The whole time, the woman didn't say *anything* to me, even when it would have been very appropriate to have done so (like telling me how much I owed, rather than me seeing it on the cash register display). I left thinking how nice it was that Hancock Fabrics employed people with this kind of disability. I mean, she had no trouble doing her job if you discount the not-talking part. What a great company Hancock is.
The next week, I walked in, and the same employee was just gabbing-gabbing-gabbing on her cell phone! I thought about telling a manager but didn't want to disclose how incredibly gullible/dumb I was! hahaha!!

Anyway, just like in the pages of the magazine, they are posting some gorgeous pictures and it
really is lovely...
