There's this book I've been eyeing since last fall. Everytime I read a little bit of it, it makes me tear up...in the best of ways.

How beautiful....like you sweetie.
I think all people should be southern, maybe for a week, well....maybe a month of their lives.

I don't always like the goings on, but I love the South--for all the reasons you mentioned and more. I'm going to have to check that book out.

I'm on my way right now!! I love the Great White North, but, man, I could use a little Southern Comfort right about now!

You make me want honeysuckles right NOW! I can just about taste them.

Did I tell you I got my Mom that book for Christmas? She loved it.
