Sally Kate Winters Memorial Park - West Point Mississippi


The charm of West Point Mississippi ~ the hometown of both of my parents ~
will hold you spellbound, as you stroll along her quaint downtown

sidewalks and through her picturesque park. 

 The beautiful wisteria is out in full bloom on this summer day ......








Sally Kate Winters, was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. C. Preston Winters of West Point, Mississippi.  She died tragically in a car accident on April 11, 1965, just two months shy of graduation from the University of Mississippi.

The Sally Kate Winters Memorial Park was created when Mr & Mrs Winters purchased downtown property from the Illinois Central Railroad and donated it to the city and the community.

My Magnolia Memories and Musings - Book Review




























Amazon.com book review

"If you have never been to the true south. The south where respect is shown with Sir and Maam by young and old.  Where the life is laid back and the living is easy, where you don't have to know someone to wave to them then you need to read the latest release My Magnolia Memories and Musings by Patricia Neely- Dorsey.
Ms. Dorsey is a native southerner. Being southern is not learned it is bred
and she is a true bred southerner.

She takes the reader down country roads, in country churches, around supper tables, the cotillions which were a girls coming out party and last but not least she show the reader the true Steel Magnolias. The southern women who have a iron fist in a velvet glove.

As I read her poems it took me back to a simpler time when doors were left unlocked and people sat on the front porch and waved to passersby. To warm summer nights and sweet ice tea.

As a true southern girl I miss my southern state. I miss the slow talk the slow walk
and the easy living.
  This book gets five stars only because I can't give
it any more, because there are no more"
