the sweet sweet south

Ryan Adams sure knew what he was talking about... the sweetest winds do blow across the south and oh how I already miss it. Kentucky is a dream. There is nothing better than southern hospitality, horses, baseball bats, country music hall of fame, fried green tomatoes, that accent and the Najdawi's. And if you were wondering, we now know everything there is to know about all of the above. For some reason the first day we were there I automatically had a Kentucky accent. No one knows why, even just typing this is making me read it in my mind with a southern drawl. Was I embarrassed? No, in fact the locals loved me so much everywhere I went they kept telling me to come back. All I have to say is yes Cindy at the Whistle Stop Cafe, I will be coming back and yes I did hear you.
