What are you most thankful for this year?
Marie Baxley (MB): I am thankful for the joy derived from a happy, healthy, productive family and all of the supportive, loving friends whose company I enjoy.
What are you looking forward to in 2022?
MB: 2022 is the year I downsize and recycle all of the things I don’t use.
What was your favorite Southern Lady feature or issue from 2021?
MB: It’s hard to pick a favorite, but in the September issue, I loved exploring early 20th century New Orleans in a garden story and in a piece on antique postcards. The postcards were extra special because some of them were my grandmother’s. It was fun to go back in time.
