After 10 wonderful days in the land of cotton, I have returned to the East Coast to serve out the remainder of my life sentence. Back to where, instead of holding open doors for you and smiling and asking "How y'all?", people scowl, tell you to hurry up and don't even let you out of baggage claim until you prove that the luggage you are struggling to corral is indeed your own. Makes you want to relocate, doesn't it?
At least while I was in the Deep South, I was able to spend my time with the people who help keep me sane and remind me of who I am and where I come from, like sweet Laura of The Horton Family and her bff, Leigh, who meet me for lunch one day. Although we have been reading each other's blogs for several years, Laura and I had never meet in person. But y'all, the three of us had THE BEST TIME! We laughed and talked and laughed some more!
She even brought me a gift! Isn't she the GREATEST?!
Of course, it was wrapped in pink and green!
And look-ee what was inside that cute bag--a TON of Louisiana delicacies. I can't wait to get cooking!!!
Thanks Laura and Leigh for coming to see me! I am so thankful that we got to "do lunch" but also a little sad that we can't do it again like RIGHT NOW!

I miss my Southern Sister so bad!! I feel like Rose in "Titantic"..."Come back, come back!" LOL!
Anyhoo, I got the craziest email from Semi-Slacker Mom. She wanted to know if we talked about her! Ha!! If she only knew!!
Like I wasn't going to read that Laura!!
I am still jealous! Laura's just going to have to hop on a plane & join us in Atlanta, right? I'm glad you had a nice visit home.
Not all east coasters are rude!!!! Glad you had a fun trip home though.
:)
My sister lives in the South (Savannah, GA), and WOW! I think I was a Southerner in a former life! Love it!
How wonderful to meet up with some bloggy friends! And what delightful gifts! Great times with girlfriends are simply the BEST!
I know EXACTLY how you feel ~ it was a rude awakening when I returned from California. I'll move away with you ;)
Lucky you to meet up with bloggy friends ~ sounds like you had a great time.

You all are so cute!!! I am so glad you all got to meet in person!
一個人的價值，應該看他貢獻了什麼，而不是他取得了什麼....................................................
Found my way here from Laura--just had ice cream with her today:) You are too funny, and I will be back!
So sweet - what a great bag of goodies! I feel somewhat of a Southern connection. I'm a Mississippi girl - just next door to great Louisiana! Oh, and love the blog!
愛，拆開來是心和受兩個字。用心去接受對方的一切，用心去愛對方的所有。......................................................................
