Well now that ya'll know where I'm at and that I talk very southern

sometimes, I can feel comfortable to do it. To me It's just my way,

I have to really think about how to say things correctly sometimes.

It may seem backwoods to some of yu'ins but that's all I've ever

known. I get a kick outa some of the books I see teaching folks to

talk southern....They don't know the half of it. We still say yes

mame and yes sir. We're having a heck of a time gettin our grandson

to say it... All women are ref to as miss Jeanne, miss Deb, miss

whoever, to show respect. My mother-in-law had some of the cutest

sayings....She'd get me so tickled...they lived in south Ga. I think

one of my favorites is when anyone is fixin to leave from visit'n

someone, we always say ya'll come go home with us. That to me is the

highest compliment.... well as I think of things I'll share

them....Hinky
