Sweethoney's

I know...you're probably wondering, "How in the world did she come up with the name Sweethoney's?" Well, I didn't...but someone very close to me did. Here's the story.

For as long as I can remember, my Aunt Mary (and all of her friends) called me Sweethoney. Mom said the day they brought me home from the hospital, Aunt Mary looked at me and said "That's my Sweethoney"---and it stuck! Now, I know many of you are wondering "Who is Aunt Mary?" Let me try to explain.

My Aunt Mary was my everything. She was literally my bff! If you ask anyone in Corinth, they will tell you that Aunt Mary (or Red as some called her) was the most loving and generous person ever! Sassy for sure, but she would literally give you the clothes off her back. If you were fortunate enough to meet Aunt Mary, I am certain your life was touched in a major way. 

Aunt Mary and Sweethoney!


Growing up, my sister and I would stay with Aunt Mary while mom worked by night and went to nursing school by day. It was during these years that I began to notice Aunt Mary's love for coffee, except she loved her coffee black! As I got older and went off to college, I would often come home on the weekends to visit. During our visits, Aunt Mary and I would go to the grocery store, the bank, and always make a stop for coffee (or we would brew our own). We would sit in the living room and sip our coffee from a little white mug with a saucer--classy, right? while catching up on the latest gossip haha!

So yes, I credit my love for coffee to my Aunt Mary. Therefore, it is only fitting that I dedicate Sweethoney's to her! Afterall, she is my Aunt Mary and I am her Sweethoney!
