Our Porch Is Famous

I had to share this! We have a great screened-in porch on the back of our house that we spend a lot of time on watching football games, cooking out and just enjoying the Southern weather. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine who works at Southern Living asked if they could come do a photo shoot using our porch as the background for one of their upcoming issues. We of course agreed and Tweedy and I spent a whole day getting ready. We cleaned, dusted, old englished the old church pew that's the focal point of the room and of course Tweedy put plants everywhere. The day finally came!! They got here with a moving crew and moved out every bit of our furniture. HA! Then they spent two days taking pictures and cooking tons of recipes all with these ingredients: corn, okra and tomatoes. (it comes out July 2010) Most of the shots are pretty tight on the food, but if you know what our porch looks like...you'd know it was shot on our porch....maybe. :)

I was just glad they let us have the leftovers!!
