One of my favorite personal journals on the net is the chronicle of a Southern newlywed couple who transplants to a frozen Rust Belt city and discovers its hidden charms. The husband works very hard toward getting a medical degree, while the wife navigates the city’s idiosyncrasies and shines a humorous light through the blog The Jennings Secede From the South.
Camille Jennings, her husband Adam, and Powers the wonder dog, have experienced major life changes since that fateful decision to move to Erie so Adam could attend LECOM. Camille has taken us from the couple’s embracing the regions beautiful experiences, the first snow fall and subsequent feet of accumulation, through the news of expecting and then arrival of their son, Henry.
Camille’s thousands of readers enjoy her sharp wit, interesting turn of phrase, huge heart, and love for God and family.
Did I say that she was witty? Maybe hysterical is a better word; take last week’s post for example: Balloon Feet.
Anyone ever tried tying the string attached to a balloon to a baby’s ankle? I read that idea in a book and it said it would be entertaining….for everyone.
Just one balloon, though. Not hundreds which might send your child into outer space.
