This last time, I missed it terribly and missed the Southern voices and sensibility.
And craziness.
People down here are FUNNY...delightfully so.
could not wait to get back here, and I am never ever leaving.

I am so sorry you cannot hear what I hear every day.
Dunno how far away you are.
I guess the closest thing is movies or ..?

Ham and sweet potatoes and field grown local corn and watermelon and the smell of honey suckle.
Oh...and the mockingbirds.
Do you have them, at least , where you are?
