Front Porch Swings and Backyard BBQ's

I grew up in the south, Alabama to be exact. It's funny when most people think of the south they think of rednecks, slow talking, Nascar loving, marrying your cousin kinda of folk, and yes I just said folk. You know what I am talking about, We have all heard the countless redneck jokes. But if you grew up in the south you know its about families that not only love each other, they actually like each other, freshly brewed sweet tea, Sunday supper ( the meal that replaces lunch and dinner), loving the USA, praising God, sitting on your front porch swing at dusk, and backyard BBQ's on the weekend.

I grew up as a middle child( more on that to come) between two sisters and with parents who were loving but strict and taught me the true meaning of the word family. And to this day I am closer than ever to my parents and my sisters are my best friends. Growing up we were a family who loved, fought, and at times struggled but in the end we were a family that laughed. I love telling stories about my childhood. And that is what has led me to start this blog. Plus I thought it would be easier than starting a book. So take off your shoes, grab a glass of sweet tea, and sit back and enjoy as you venture into my past in the heart of Dixie.
