Q & A with a real agent on today on ATS LIVE!

Could you use some insider information? Yeah, I thought so. Regular correspondance with the All Things Southern porchers has revealed a number of aspiring writers in our community and your dutiful hostess has made it my
There’s Only One King of the Hill
It was only a few yards of black gumbo dirt, but it was prime real estate in my grade school eyes. The Hill sat on the playground of a now defunct country school once known as Briarfield South. Perched on the side of a drainage ditch that ran alongside a cotton field, The Hill doled out dirty jeans, scraped knees, and transitory crowns to all
Legal Eagles
I have a good friend who practices law. I remember once asking him if he minded my sharing the occasional lawyer joke. He said he didn’t mind at all, that he and his fellow lawyer buddies didn’t tell the jokes, but sometimes they had to laugh at the better ones.

Sonny Gets His Wings
Several folks have written in asking about Cousin Sonny, who is well known for being so lazy he wouldn’t walk in his sleep. And, what’s worse, Sonny couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. Personally, I wouldn’t believe the boy if he swore he was lying. But, y’all asked, so I called his folks. I can report that after thirty something years
