Hope your fall weather has been as lovely as ours! But my family and
I are back in Cambridge now and settling in for the winter.
As you can see we have expanded our
Southern Breeze Bookstore to include
Travel Fiction. Let
us know what you think of this section. We'd love your feedback. I
got the idea from a terrific store I like to visit here in Cambridge
called The Globe Corner. (www.globecorner.com)
I love going to other corners of the world through others'
experiences. Sometimes I like it better than going there myself;
sometimes it inspires me to go. Anyway, we wanted to offer it before
winter settled in and you found yourself on the sofa wishing you
were on some exotic island. You can email us with your comments at:
Of course this is the holiday edition so our
friends from Southern Living have a few tips for making our holidays
more festive, and delicious. In addition to their yearly Christmas
magazine, I highly recommend their Christmas Cookbook. It has some
fantastic ideas!

State-of-the-Month ~ Mississippi
Did you
know?
-
Mississippi got it's name when
French explorers recorded the region as the Messipi because of
the river. Messipi was their rendering of the Ojibwas name for
the river. It means "big river."
-
In 1902 while on a hunting
expedition in Sharkey County, President Theodore Roosevelt,
refused to shot a captured bear. This act resulted in the
nickname of Teddy Roosevelt.
-
Nearly 60% of Mississippi
is covered by forests, and more than 100 species of trees are
found in the state.
-
Mississippi's warm climate and
rich soil proved ideal for growing cotton which became the
main economic crop before 1800 and remained
important until the 20th century.
Next
issue, Maryland! Thank
