That may be the measure of our lives." - Toni Morrison

"Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born; it's an idea and state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, football, and country music. It’s being hospitable, devoted to front porches, magnolias, moon pies, coca-cola... and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way." - Unknown

Wow. With this list, there are a lot of things where we differ. How can you be southern and not like watermelon? That's totally sacrilegious.

I love musicals, especially ones with Doris Day.

Great blog!
