For the longest time people have had their own looks upon the people of the South. Hopefully some of my bloggings will show that not all of us meet the sterotypes of the "Southern Redneck." My husband was born in Missouri but I, myself, was born in California and moved down here to the state of Tennessee when I was just knee high to a grasshopper. My family consists of Mexicans, French Bausque, French Cajun and Cherrokee Indians from both sides. I have adapted well growing up down here, I don't see any reason to return to the city because my heart belongs here.
I mean, there is nothing like it! You live off the land, you work for the land and the land works for you, you look outside and see a deer, you stare up at the night sky and count every star you see, you sit along side of the river bank and watch the barges sail by while you reminise with you friends around a Bon Fire, cook catfish straight on the bank after you done caught it, people wave at you, people stop and help you if you look like you're in a bind, sweet tea is like no other, just good ol' Southern Hospitality.
I know there is some things I don't like as well. Such as; The heat (Choke to death), the mosquitos (Size of dinosaurs), everything can kill you, there are 3,000 different species of spiders and 2,988 are in the South, I've seen a Couger approach my back door and stare at me, and Tornados and Floods are the worst. Like anywhere else, the South has its ups and downs but I know for a fact that no where else in this entire world can beat what we have down here and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
