Thursday Thirteen #8


Thirteen Reasons I am glad to live in the South East (again!)

1. Sweet Ice Tea

2. Humidity

3. HOSPITALITY

4. Green grass and trees

5. Restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Fuddruckers, BoJangles, etc.)

6. Proximity to "home"

7. People who understand my use of "ya'll"

8. People who know how to spell "ya'll"

9. People who know how to make sweet tea.

10. Churches on every corner

11. My skin loves the humidity

12. People who understand HOSPITALITY

13. People who practice HOSPITATILITY


I have loved living on other areas of the country...I just really

missed the South East, and am very glad to be back here!!

I love living in the South East. I'm a North Easterner transplanted, and I couldn't be any happier!

Awww, I grew up Florida (not really technically part of "the south"). I miss that humidity too these day. My skin is cracked and bleeding from the bitter winter here! Loved your list :)

Boy - and what is sweet tea?? As a Western Girl, I've only ever heard my Texas mil say, Swt Tay. Is it the same? ;)

Happy TT!

My TT is Food for thought.

There's a Chick-A-Fil near us. Very often they have someone standing around outside it dressed as a cow, which is always rather alarming!

Natalie said...

You really like hospitality I take it. LOL!

The Gal Herself said...

Sounds like you're happy to be home! What a happy TT. (Thanks for visiting mine)

And little or no snow! That's a big reason for me. LOL!

People who know that "all y'all" is the plural of "y'all."

Being called "Miss Di"

"Yes Ma'am" and "Yes Sir."

Fried okra.

The Ferryman said...

Fuddruckers!!!

Honey, I think we spell it "y'all".

To live just where you want is vital. People often forget it isn't so much a house that is important, but what's inside, and OUTSIDE it.

Jane said...

AMEN! I was born and raised and still live in Georgia! I have been all around the world and there is NO place I would rather be!!
Welcome home ya'll!!

I'm not even from the south and I love all those things. I think I'm 'southern' at heart- just born in the north. ;)

Toni said...

I live in TN and think your list is right on!!

Jennifer said...

Thanks for visiting me. I also have a TT post on my family blog. It won't make you hungry I promise!

Chelle Y. said...

Oh, I love Chick-fil-A! I always make sure I go there when I visit relatives in North Carolina.

Misty DawnS said...

Huh... I've always spelled it "y'all"... I bet I say it just the same as you though ;-) just put the apostrophe in a different spot.
