I'm a Wannabee

I'm a wannabee. How's that for authentic?

Anyone who knows me, knows I desire to live in the south. As a born and bred California-girl, that's blasphemy to some ears around here. I am drawn to their slower pace, small-town hospitality, large front porches and sweet tea.

With the kids gone this week, I've been able to fall down a few blog-bunny holes. You know what I discovered?

Even the blogs I visited were from the south.

When I checked my blog-history, you know who visits me the most?

Gals from the south.

This summer our family is planning on visiting Tennessee for the first time. I'm looking forward to it.

Not sure if they'll be waiting with open arms for a California girl who doesn't know where to place her shrimp fork. But, at least it will give me a chance to see if I'll truly miss Trader Joe's and In n' Out burger.

Where are you from? I'm putting my money on California or one of the lovely southern states. Leave me a comment and prove me wrong. And, make sure to share where you would like to live.

Any wannabee-Yankees out there!?

Secrets...

Secrets run deep in the South. I'd heard the whispers not long after I arrived. In a town where ponds are filled with alligators and football is the air men breathe...some eat Possum, it was rumored.

Possum? Seriously?!? I've never seen Paula Dean cook this country fare.

Not one southern-soul admitted to this. Yet, within seconds, four cans miraculously appeared.

Witness below rare seen footage, when four children from the West come face to face with the South.
