I will say, that there are several types of Southern. There are those whose babies wear bows bigger than their heads, monogram everything, and act like they've known you forever. I am not that brand of Southern. ;)<br />I have a friend from Wisconsin who always says, "I may not have been born in the South, but I got here as quick as I could."<br />Oh, being blog friends with a Californian, it has been brought to my attention that I say funny things. I say they're the funny ones...<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-25826723945333395292011-08-06T00:41:46.136-04:002011-08-06T00:41:46.136-04:00I love being a Southern Girl, I treating people we...I love being a Southern Girl, I treating people well and greeting all with a big Smile a hug!!!!<br /><br />Happy Birthday to you son, he has the same birthday as my 23year old Daughter! 8-5!!!

Now we are living in Savannah with the gorgeous Spanish moss hanging from the live oaks...I love how many of the streets with the old homes are lined with these trees gracefully providing an arch above. I love learning about the local slangs and terms from every region...My hubby is a "southern boy"... born and raised in the southern most state...Hawaii. :o) <br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!<br />Thank you my dear blogger buddy for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment.Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-85843845078657552592011-08-05T20:55:23.325-04:002011-08-05T20:55:23.325-04:00Hope y'all have a great time at the party.

It was a huge success! He would pack in about a thousand people nightly. I wasn't married to him then, but I went there a few times! Did I ever tell you that my step-son dated a girl from Buffalo that we absolutely adored. I was hoping she'd be our daughter-in-law, but it didn't turn out that way. Apparently Buffalo produces some sweet people.Jane@Cottage at the Crossroadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608535211366946487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-61662655549856961952011-08-05T19:39:52.985-04:002011-08-05T19:39:52.985-04:00I moved south in 7th grade.

Would you like a coke, Dr. Pepper or 7-up? I learned yes M'am and yes Sir before it was a law in Louisiana.

Always love getting to know the people and their culture. That being said, Texans are a whole 'nother group. :-) We have so many characteristics of the South and proud of it! Lots of sugahs, darlin's, honeys, ya'll and fixin' to. We drink "coke" regardless of the drink's real name. We are known for lots of bar-b-que, mexican food...compliments of our neighbors, two-stepping and above all, having a great time! <br /><br />Ya'll come on down anytime ~ :-)<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-64922865095667970262011-08-05T15:56:21.636-04:002011-08-05T15:56:21.636-04:00What a great post.

People have been very friendly here but guarded. They talk to you if you talk to them, answer questions if asked but beyond that they keep to their friends. It's hard to make friends here especially when generation after generation has lived here everybody knows everybody and then there is me.Formerly known as Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798890008067408048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-54505471456130966502011-08-05T11:53:53.980-04:002011-08-05T11:53:53.980-04:00Great post!

I hate when people assume southerners are backwards and "slow" because they have lovely drawls and like to live a slower pace. I EMBRACE Bama Boy's "Southernism" and am proud to be a part of a multi-generation Southern family..and I couldn't in good faith close this comment without offering a.."Roll Tide" in honor of one of the best things the south offers...College Football! oh and yes, the west side (at least) of Florida considers themselves Southern. <br /><br />HeatherAt The Picket Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846200981778597675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-56479199391612763362011-08-05T11:26:49.064-04:002011-08-05T11:26:49.064-04:00P.S.
