Home Sweet Home

Being from 'The South', you know real outdoors beauty when it's right in front of you.

I really do live in one of the prettiest places in North Alabama and I think a lot of people take it for granted. Let's face it, it is truly beautiful where the mountains meet the lakes.

Don't get me wrong, New York City is the second best place to be. You can shop anywhere and there is a Starbucks every third block. The possibilites are endless. Hardly anyone owns a car and takes a taxi or the subway everywhere they go. I mean, that's why 90% of the population is skinny.

There is just something about the sweet-tea-drinking place that refreshes the soul. Ironically, I have lived here 19 years of life and I hate sweet tea. Hey, it's possible!

I love the beach, but there's something exciting about only going once a year.

I love Chicago, but I wouldn't go again unless it was to see Oprah.

I love DC, but I couldn't handle that many politicians in two area codes.

I love Massachusetts. It is beauitful but let's face it, we all sound like hicks to them.

I love love love New York City but could only have a vacation home there!

Everywhere you go, you see people who you can talk to for a few minutes and sure, they're friendly. But people anywhere else, just don't have that "Southern Hospitality"

to them like you find here. They say 'you guys' and we say 'y'all'.

They say 'over there' and we say 'over yunder'.

There is just something peaceful about Alabama.

Something peaceful about coming home

Thanks y'all!
