No Setting Sun
No More Night!
Each day I’ll do a golden deed,
By helping those who are in need;
My life on earth is but a span,
And so I’ll do the best I can.

Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.


I know it's fall but going through some pictures tonight, I came across these lovely pictures of sunsets I had taken while at Gulf Shores, Alabama a few years back. Stunning if I must say so myself!

While looking at them, that old hymn came to mind, to which I printed a couples of the stanza's above. No more night people...praise the Lord, no more night!


***And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. Revelations 21:25***

Catfish: Southern Style With A Northern Twist

This past Saturday my husband and I spent a lovely day together visiting antique and thrift stores in Jackson, Mississippi. We stopped at a very unusual restaurant for dinner. It was a seafood restaurant called "Jerry's Catfish House".


It was unusual because it was igloo shaped! An igloo, in the south, that is a restaurant! Imagine that!!


The inside was just as interesting as the outside. The walls were painted a bright yellow and trimmed in kelly green. The floor red. There were two levels for dinning,and all sorts of wild life were on the walls, fish, deer and moose.

And of course the fried catfish was wonderful. "All you can eat"! And we ate...a lot! This is a photo of the left overs mind you!


If you find yourself in Jackson, Mississippi and needing a place to eat, I highly recommend this igloo. I mean restaurant!
