Southernness on a Friday

Everyone this side of the Mississippi knows it, so this is for the rest of ya'll. The Tigers are in the Spring Talent Show at their school tonight! Tigers at the Piano - that's us! They're the cute ones! I would completely train them early and have them wear their Easter blazers and khakis. "You know the musicians do that." sort of. Then we're heading out to Western Carolina to stay with our people this weekend. {For those of you on the other side of the Mississippi, that would be Mommy's/our cousins over by Greensboro.;)} Will have a little eye candy up (my great pics ;) when we return. Beautiful Spring.

Bringing up a little topic: for those of you not from 'these parts,' what do you call "your people?" You know, those of you that are really glad that I put in a little clarification for ya. What would you have said? Seriously, we Southerners get made fun of a lot... so with more other-than-Southerners here, how do you navigate the waters? How do you make sense of it all? Accent? Because as one author said, "we know you love the South. You got here as soon as you could." ;) Isn't it fun ya'll!

I'm from central New York but my parents are from the midwest. So I think the phrases I use are more midwestern. We call them the "folks" or sometimes we use the first name of the husband for the entire family - so we're going to see "the Petes" means we're going to see Pete's family.

Have a good trip!

We love "folks" around here, too. That's common ground. Now I love that "the Petes" one. That's a good one. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Warmly,

Carolina Mama
