Want an amazing cup of coffee? The @PigglyWigglyAL that opens tomorrow, in Deatsville, is your place. The batistas were in training yesterday and today. I was happy to help put them through the paces. I had my very first caramel machiato and it was so delicious.
It snowed here, in Titus, Alabama, until early morning. We awoke to the most beautiful #AlabamaSnow blanket

Dancing Dave Memories
#BreakingNews on Unmarked Grave: Dancin' Dave reappears downtown in Dothan's newest Murals of the Wiregrass. He passed last year at age 88 from cancer and was famous throughout Dothan and surrounding communities. He walked everywhere he went. He dressed in all white and would stop and dance for a few dollars when he met someone. He represented the spirit of Dothan, Alabama. With the new mural it is being said "Now, people in this city can always find Dancin’ Dave."
One thing still remains. Most people in Dothan do not realize he is buried at Memory Hill Cemetery on Hwy 52 just 1/2 mile off of Ross Clark Cir. in an unmarked grave. A GoFundMe account has been set up to raise the money for his grave. Would you concider donating a couple dollars to help in this cause? All money raised goes to this cause. Memory Hill Cemetery owner Micheal Duncan has graciously committed to match all donations. https://www.gofundme.com/dancingdavegrave

Thursday Funny: #Alabamians love to Google! What do we Google the most? You'd be surprised!
Estately, a real estate website, puts out an annual list of topics each state Googles more than every other state in the country (this does not mean these topics were the most searched topics overall).
In 2014, Alabamians searched for “Jameis Winston” more than any other state. Searches in 2015 got more political – Alabama searched for Ben Carson, same-sex marriage, and Mobile native and transgender actress Laverne Cox with unusual frequency.
Also according to Estately, Alabama’s most embarrassing Google searches are “what does Alabama mean?” and “casserole recipe.”
Roadsnacks dug even deeper into Alabama’s search history by looking at the most-Googled topics in each city. According to their site:
Huntsville: “rednecks” and “sweet tea” are the most-searched Oneonta: searches the most for “guns”
Vestavia Hills: really loves “barbecue”
Andalusia: likes “big trucks”
Pell City: is interested in whatever “country music and sexy” means.
Wetumpka: is all about the “romance,” so they may want to stay out of Fort Rucker.
Fort Rucker: “divorce” is the most-searched topic.
(Thanks Yellowhammer News, great stuff)
WHAT A GREAT DAY at the #LPGA final round at Robert Trent Jones Capital Hill Golf Course in Prattville, Alabama. I love playing golf but this was my first time to watch a professional tournament, in person. Thank you Cliff Allen for inviting me. I now know why God did not make me a professional golfer, librarian or mortician! Each of these require silence. All of you who know me, know that silnce is not one of my strong suits. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the beauty of the course an watching those very talented ladies play! I'll be back next year. Hope you'll all join me.
Sad to report with broken heart: Former first lady Nancy Reagan has died at 94 years young. I pray the legacy of her and Ronald rage on for generations. True American First Family, absolute love story. RIP, Angel.
The cause of death was congestive heart failure, according to her rep Joanne Drake. "Mrs. Reagan will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband, Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died on June 5, 2004," Drake wrote in a statement.
"Prior to the funeral service, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the Library."
Nancy Davis Reagan was an actress and the wife of the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. She was the First Lady of the United States from 1981 to 1989. She was born in New York City.
Attention #Golfers: FREE GOLF all WEEK! The City of Bessemer, Alabama Frank House Municipal Golf Course is waiving the green fees for the week of February 22 - 28th, allowing all golfers to play from Monday-Sunday. for just a $15 cart fee. You can play as many rounds during the week as you would like for just the $15 cart fee each round. You don't even need a teetime to play.
This will give you the chance to meet Ed Davis. After 18 years as Head Golf Professional and General Manager at Montevallo Golf Club, he recently accepted the position as Head Golf Professional and General Manager at the City of Bessemer Frank House Golf Course.
The Golf Course was shut down for nearly a year and a half after being hit by a Tornado in 2014.

They have many renovation plans for the the golf course, including much needed repairs to the cart paths.
