The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.
- Winston Churchill
She was so Southern that she cried tears that came straight from the Mississippi, and she always smelled faintly of cottonwood and peaches.
- Sarah Addison Allen
the Porch.
In today's busy world, we take for granted the simple gifts in life. Remember the days when everyone gathered to share some coffee, some laughs, and words of encouragement? With our ever-changing communities, finding a front porch with people ready to listen and a swing ready to relax can be nearly impossible. Let's go back to the days when Granny and Grandpa always had something warm to say and sweet to drink, when prayer was something you did to start your day, and when neighbors were more like family. Let's bring out our flags for more than a holiday, make some fresh coffee, and talk about life. It's time we bring back gathering on the front porch with God, family, and great friends. Come anytime! We'll even leave the light on for ya...
The Real
MEANING
Behind The
Pineapple.
In the South, we have a saying: "Y'all come back now, ya hear!"
We love staying connected with our neighbors with the knowledge that all are welcome.
The Pineapple is an offer of hospitality, a greeting, and another way of saying
Welcome, Home.
We post these throughout our website as a reminder that we are all welcome home. Thank you to my dear friend, Patricia, for my beautiful pineapple that I dearly cherish!
