Words I’ve Lived By
I don’t know if this is strictly a southern lady thing, or not. But the only way I got my first driver’s license is by promising that nice man who gave me my driving test that I would NEVER parallel park. And I’ve kept my word!! I’ll walk for a mile in the heat to […]
Thinly-veiled insults are our specialty!
When I married The Yankee, he came with a grown Yankee stepdaughter that I love very much. Once when she was introducing me to one of her friends, she said “And she can tell people off so nicely!” These are just a few of the tools of the trade.
