Hattiesburg holds fond memories for both of us from college days at USM to double dating in our younger years. My late husband, Glen R. Glen R. It was the married dorm at USM, and it came by its name honestly.
I remember Glen R. Anyway, the name fit the apartment building, but it was a convenient spot. I could walk to class without any problems, and we made sure not to leave any food out for obvious reasons. When Glen R. I thought it would be a nice idea for Glen R. Dianne came for the weekend, and we all went out. As Dianne and I sat chatting after a pretty late night of fun and laughter I asked her if she thought she wanted to see Melvin again. They married and spent many happy years together so that is definitely one of our Hattiesburg memories.
We have a place that we love to visit down 49 on the way to Jackson called Shady Acres, and that was our destination for the day. It is always packed because they have the best country cooking around along with a nice gift shop and a fruit stand. It is a pretty eclectic place for sure! We enjoyed a delicious lunch, and then went looking for peas and butterbeans to purchase. After all these years I had never picked up the habit of putting up fresh produce, and Dianne was going to help me with my first batch.
We were in luck and found some beautiful pink eye purple hull peas and small green butterbeans. These were the kind my grandpa always planted so that is exactly what we wanted. Dianne graciously showed me the ropes, and before too long we both had several bags washed, blanched, bagged, and ready for the freezer.
Since then my buddy, Anne, gifted me with okra, which I put up yesterday. It was delish! CHIN to host heart health awareness lunch and learn. One more to Love. A little bit of history in Meridian, Mississippi. Sections News Obituaries Opinion Sports.
