Of all the things I’ve written about, this one is likely to generate the most discussion and disagreement. So, here are my ten most favorite things about being born and bred in the South:
1) College Football is a recognized form of religion. (see
www.southernfriedfootball.com)
2) Golf can, and should, be played in every month. (see www.masters.com)
3) All of our Grandmamas can cook. (see www.southernliving.com)
4) We haven’t forgotten how to dress. (see www.southernproper.com)
5) G.R.I.T.S (Girls Raised In The South). (need I say more?)
6) Our slowness of speech is a result of our fullness of thought. (see
www.twainquotes.com) As my daddy is fond of saying, “Son, make sure your
brain is engaged before you put your mouth in gear.”
7) Sweet tea with freshly cut lemons.
8) The “War Between the States” (there was nothing Civil about it) was really a war between a centralized government and the rights of states…and it continues.
9) Fresh tomato sandwiches (from your garden) are like manna from Heaven.
10) Pickup Trucks, Dogs and Shotguns go together like a glass, sweet tea and ice…it’s just natural. (see www.browning.com)
