Happy Thursday Vallians!! Did y`all know I love tortoises and turtles?!?! I absolutely adore them and they are definitely moving around this year. We have a community member who has daily visits from these little guys; she feeds them strawberries and well, its adorable!! Over the years, Jaime and I have been fortunate enough the watch our yard buddies bury their eggs in what, they know is a safe space for them. It is one of the cooler things I have witnessed, they get in a trance and dig, slow and steady. We always keep our distance because we want them to return year after year and we are more than happy to share our yard. A couple of weeks ago I backed up out of my driveway and there was a little guy just chilling, I had not checked under my vehicle because I had not seen any yet this year. Y`all, I was so thankful I did not run over my little friend; I would have in fact been crushed. I got out of the car to see if I recognized my friend and I want you to know that it just started high stepping toward me. I immediately stopped, but it kept coming and it walked right up to my feet and just looked up at me. I have never had that happen before and considered it to be a good omen. I stepped aside and my friend continued on. All creatures big and small and all blessings big and small are always appreciated in my world. This early morning gift was both.

The Special will be The Backroads and Boots -Thick-cut, griddle-crusted, all-beef fried bologna, dripping in Classic, gooey American cheese on butter grilled Country White Bread. Diner dressed with a thick slather of mayo, Salt and Pepper dusted red tomato, house pickled red onion, crunchy iceberg and drizzled with Mustard. Served with Dirty Chips. Y`all already know what sets this special off?! A big glass of our side porch lemonade: Strawberry, or our Kool-Aid: Blue Sunshine!!

The Plate Lunch will be Sweet Mamas Sunday Chicken and Dressing, served with table gravy and scratch made Cranberry Sauce. The Side choices will be Country-Style Green Beans, Butter Beans, Miss Vetra`s Black-Eyed Peas, Country Fried Cabbage, Sweet Mamas Candied Yams and Fresh Collard Greens. All of Sweet Mamas plates are served with our Southern Buttermilk Cornbread Muffin and house-whipped Honey Butter.

Time to get down with the Get down this Thursday!!We invite you to come and sit at our table. Come HUNGRY and leave FULL, FED and HAPPY!! Sweet Mamas appreciates your business.

Good morning, Water Valley!! We hope everyone had a great weekend spent with friends and family. The rain held off for the most part and it was downright hot, but it did not seem to hold folks back. We all need a little break every now and then to reset and relax a little; I saw a TON of boats going through town all weekend, a sure sign that a good time was had by all. Now, we all need a reset from the reset; the Monday holidays always throw the rhythm off a little and we are playing catch-up. A small price to pay for some food for the soul.
