What I have observed in my 24 years in the south


Ok this is just going to be a musing of sorts so bare with me

First off I was raised in the south, there is no place i would rather be I have traveled to Ohio before but that all of leaving that I have done and I was only there for 4 days

Things I love about the south

The food no one can make better then in the south
Pecan Pie
Chocolate Pie
Collards
Greens
Chow Chow
Okra
Fried Chicken
sweet potatos
I could go on and on

The people is something else I love
This people will bend over backward for you no matter what
They couldn't be more nicer
words like Sug, Hun, and sweetheart are heard every where you go.
I love that people that don't know you from Adam still show you kindess

The Roots
I love you can drive for hours and never see the same things twice
Either you see a farm with a dog on the front porch with a swing like the above picture
tobacco blowing in the wind getting ready to harvest
or corn thats not doing to good because of the the weather
you always see some kind of beautiful land scape
And the sayings
"Yall come back now ya hear"
"Aint you sweet"
"Them darn yankees"
"No she han't" ( i have heard this from someone in my church before)
"Bless your little heart"
Now with all the good there is bad but for that you
Now for part 2 you will have to read tomorrows blog
