Things I've Learned Thursday
My heart is pounding from watching this homemade aircraft flying around with possibly a child inside. I breathed a sigh when I saw a soft landing but then, back to worrying for the little guy who wasn't in the aircraft. My prayers are going out to the family that Falcon is found and is completely safe from harm.

1) I have two wonderful daughters who know how to make their mama proud. They both did a great job as my guest bloggers. I was beaming as I read their posts and all of your comments.
2) The most commonly used phrases while I was in North Carolina were: "Somebody shoot me now!" "This ain't no Disneyland ride" and "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore." By the way, folks in North Carolina do not say, "totally cool" so when they hear it, it puts them in a state of shock.
3) Guys totally spark on women who fish in North Carolina. I had two guys sparking on my sister and I because as they said, "It shur is nice to see some ladies fishing!"
4) The world stands still (well, at least everyone and everything in my house) when I'm gone. The puppies refused to eat, Boo claims to have lost weight, they were all down in the dumps. The welcome home greetings I got at 2 am were unforgettable. I really believe the puppies were starting to look suspiciously at Boo as if to say, "Where is Mommy? What did you do with her? Bring her back or else we're going for your shoes."
5) In North Carolina, Black folks aren't the only ones that eat fried chicken, grits, greens, fried okra, fried tomatoes and cornbread. Everyone eats that way. Unfortunately, I would have to be rolled everywhere if I ate like that every day. The food is good but so heavy. I was put into southern food induced comas each night.
6) I didn't realize how much I missed working puzzles until I was at my parents house, sitting down putting one together again. My sister and I stayed up until 3 am, laughing and talking while putting it together.
7) I found out that I have been pronouncing my name totally wrong all these years. How could that have happened after 46 years?
8) October 25th is fast approaching and I'm being very difficult about my wedding attire. I'm driving my girls nuts as they attempt to pick out the "perfect" outfit. We haven't even gotten to the shoe part of things.
9) I'm seriously a daddy's girl. He was thoroughly entertained by my and my twin sister's sense of humor.
10) There is a such thing as a scuppernog but I still have no idea how it tastes and where it comes from.
What have you learned?

I love what you've learned...#5 made me laugh (the visual) and girl, how can you mispronounce your own name?!? What have you been saying and would should you have been saying???
Keep the stories coming.
On another note, I was so worried about the little boy too, but I've now heard that he is safe. That was really eerie to think of him in that contraption.
One of my best friends is named Simone, and we pronounce it "Suh-moan."
I have learned ... gosh, can't think of a thing! Good luck on the search for the wedding outfit and shoes!! Looking forward to seeing pictures!!!
PS on the little boy, I too am glad he was found safe and sound hiding in a box in the ceiling. Very strange story... xoxo
My hubby is a huge fan of down home southern cooking. Loves it all!
