HAPPY NEW YEAR to my family, friends, followers, and visitors! I suppose by now, you’re used to me arriving fashionably late. 😉 I always seem to be chasing time…story of my life. Sigh…but, I can never stay away for too long. The connection I have with you here always draws me back. 😊 And I couldn’t wait to share the set from this photo shoot! The boots and historic location make this a Heels on the Battlefield classic Lizzy’s Latest trademark blog post.
In my last post I shared the details of my Salem girls trip with my besties. Well, there was more to the trip…in Boston! On our way to Salem, we had to pick up my childhood Forever BFF, Tammy, at Logan Airport. Her flight came in late, so we had some time to check out sites in Boston. Of course, my penchant for history led us to the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum.
First Corinthians, 13-13: So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
George E. Dixon was a handsome and wealthy young man working in Mobile, AL by the start of the Civil War in 1861. One day, a Southern bell named, Queenie Bennett, caught his eye. Dixon made his affections known to her and when Queenie drew her handkerchief across her lips and looked at him with desire, Dixon knew she was smitten with him too. The warmth of young love filled their hearts and the two began a courtship that would become the stuff of legends. (more…)
One night several months ago, my dad was flipping channels and came across an episode of “What on Earth” (Season 5, episode 4 for those interested) featuring a ghost fleet of ships in Mallows Bay here in Southern Maryland. It caught our attention because we had a couple photo shoots at Mallows Bay around this time last year. Click here for a look back at one of those shoots. (more…)
Savannah, GA captures my heart over and over again. Its beauty captivates me while its soul always draws me back. The last time I was there was in the summer of 2019. I arrived the evening before my parents got there and I felt so happy to be back in my favorite Southern city. (more…)
I had a full weekend of photo shoots a few weekends ago. It was long overdue because I had been procrastinating on blog work. During the downtime, my time was spent in good company taking weekend road trips to towns with Civil War and/or Revolutionary War pasts. We even made a trip to Hersheypark amusement park. We were fortunate that day because the weather was not too hot and the humidity was low making having to wear a mask bearable. (more…)
August was full of adventure for me! I was in Savannah, GA earlier in the month and had a wonderful time. I will detail that trip in a future blog post. I also spent time with my two Godsons and niece in SC mid-August. We had an 80s themed party which I will also share in a future blog post. By the end of August, we were back to photo shooting for the blog. I cannot wait to feature that post because it deals with the legend of Moll Dyer, a local woman who lived a century or so ago and was rumored to be a witch. Perfect post for October! 😉 (more…)
