I'm Southern......right?
Since the day I started this blogging journey, I have perused tons and tons of other blogs. I especially love blogs that have southern somewhere in the title. The other day, I stumbled upon a girl's blog that was really cute, but it made me stop dead in my tracks. This person is from the east coast - I believe from the South Carolina area. Right there on her about me page it states something like "I'm from the TRUE south". Ok, seriously...just what does that statement mean? I really have never thought about this - ever! Does being from Texas imply that I am not a true southerner? Am I too hick to know how to act and entertain like a southern lady? I hope not. I know how to behave graciously and I'm definitely working on the entertaining part. I try extremely hard to treat everyone with friendliness and hospitality when I meet them and they visit my home. I had a discussion about this with my friend and she said that maybe Texans are perceived as too "redneck" and without all the social graces and old southern traditions that people from Georgia, the Carolinas, Tenn, etc possess. I really can't see where this idea originated, but from one dixie chick to another....it is far from the truth.

Sorry. My first post had too many typos.
That book looks hilarious! Do you have it? If so, I'd love to read it when you are finished!
I've never understood the "real south" comments either.
as a history major i think that is such a bunch of bull...there is nothing more STEEL of a Magnolia than a Texas woman..we are both belle AND pioneer! as Texans we are unique from the South..we were our own country after all..so many southerners have family heritage from the Deep South..so yes i can maybe agree we are a bit different but i think it just makes us MORE wonderful;;;
Love visiting here... You are my inspiration. Love your tunes too.
for real! how dare someone say that texas isn't part of the real south? puh-leeze. i get tired of that too.
