Yes ma’am.American by birth and Southern by the grace of God.
my sentiments exactly!
Good manners are still being taught and expected here in central Alabama, but I think that media influence and migration of folks from one region to another has changed a lot of the old ways of doing things down here. Big sigh!
I have lived from east to west coast, and as far north as Pennsylvania. While I enjoyed everywhere we were stationed, especially Pennsylvania, I wouldn’t give up living here in the South for anything! Family, friends, church, food, football, beaches...the only things I can’t stand still are the bugs and the humidity, but that comes with the whole package, doesn’t it?
