No one wants me to do that. I grew up in the 80's and 90's, enough said.
Nope, I figured since my blog is about the South somewhat after all, I should, you know, post about it every now and then.
I have every intention of posting some things I learned while reading Bittersweet Country by Ellen Cray Massey.
It's a book I inherited from my great- grandpa about the early years in the Ozarks ( the area where I'm from).
Every post will have some facts and day-in-the-life examples. I've read it before and it was so interesting to me, but it's been awhile, so I need to re-read.
I know personally, by the time I cared where my family came from and southern traditions, the people who would have answers had already passed on.
This way I can start new and teach my children.
Whether or not we use these skills everyday or not, it's still nice to know how.
Oh, and just to be a good sport, here's my kindergarten picture. Note the acid wash dress and the untamable cowlick.
I'll see you next Thurdsday!
Be excited.
