I don't blame you... I'd stay up there in those beautiful hills if I were you! I always wanted to go up there and get really far back in the hills and meet some real mountain people, if you know what I mean. I used to have a daughter in law who was from somewhere in Tennessee and she talked mountain talk... things like "worshed" for washed, and she called me "Mury" instead of Mary... stuff like that. I guess I should have gotten her to take me up there. She had 20 brothers and sisters... Y'all are keeping me up WAY past my bedtime... I'm going this time. Boy, didn't we get this Southern-chat wound up??? Wasn't it fun??? Talk more tomorrow...
