Mama is Blogging!

Hey Everybody, Mama is now an official Blogger!
her Blog is called A G.R.I.T.S. Life As A Preacher's Wife, She hasn't done any posts yet but ya'll can go ahead and follow her and all that. Well have a great day!

The GRITS Way of Life...

Check Spelling
Fried Green Tomatoes
Being a total GRITS~That's Girls raised in the South, I am all about the Southern Way of Life.
Sweet Tea, Biscuits, Fried Chicken, Respecting your Mama and Daddy, God, Country, and Tradition. Southern Girls know that you say Yes Ma'am, and they know that if your man has an earring and long hair, then they'll call him Ma'am, too.
Let's not forget our accent...
Us Southern Belles are known for our Charming, Sweet as Honey, Accent.
In America our Southern Accent is closest to the Queen's English than any other accent. Scottish, Irish, and rural English formed the basis of our language...
GRITS also know that in the South,
Girls know what kind of man they need, they always know what to look for.
Someone who is like...
Daddy
Andy Griffith
Granddaddy
Robert E.Lee
and last but not least... DADDY!
But we know that the All Mighty will take care of us, when it comes to the Right Man.
After all a true Southern Girl doesn't chase a man... she let's the man chase her...
If your from the South you know what a Moon Pie is, you know that Barbeque is pulled or chopped pork..not just something you throw on the grill, you know that before any girl gets married she has to know how to fry a chicken and make a good ol' biscuit and the perfect glass of sweet tea. In other word's life is just plain better in the South...hehe. Though we don't mind Yankees, we southerner's just seem to enjoy life a little more, and even when it's not so grand, if you ask us we'll reply,'' I'm just Fine, how bout you?'' No matter what.
The Southern Girl
by Samuel Alfred Beadle
(1857-1932)
The Fairest thing on land or sea
Is the Southern Girl, to me.
You should see her when the stars
Come studding all the sky;
And feel her beaming eye
On you when the moon is full-
Fairest of all that's fair is she,
The Southern Girl, to me.
I thank God that I was born in the South, and if I ever leave it, I'll never forget that I'm a GRITS born and Raised. So Daww-ling until next time, Ya'll come back now Ya hear!

The End Of A Great Week...



Well Today was the end to a great week, Us girls went to VA, to a Ladies Meeting that Mama was asked to speak at. We had a fun day, and Mama did such a great job speaking!

I took some random pictures today, But like the last night of Kid's Krusade, I forgot to bring the Camera inside the Church. I did win a Door prize!!!!! Number 20 is such a lucky number... at least it was today~ The theme was Growing in Grace so they gave me a bunch of Gardening Stuff! On the way Home you know we had to stop at My Favorite place and get a Drink... you guessed it, Mcdonalds! So after a fresh dose of Caffeine Me, Sarah, and Jennifer sang Bluegrass, Sacred Heritage, Epley Family and any other song we could think of, and tried to get every trucker to blow his horn, on the way Home... Fun Times!


Well I just came in after cleaning up the yard from the Terrible storm yesterday, I like storms if there not too terrrible, I like to sit by a window and read a book, or sleep when the rain is pouring down...ahhhh~ But anyway I'm off to my Granny's house tonight, So I'll blog more next week!



Me and My Lovely Sisters... Aren't we Gorgous?



Little Kailey at the Ladies Meeting with her Pink Princess Sunglasses~
