I'm happy you're here, Carrie! :)<br /><br />And Meg: it always cracked me up-- My little Southern Granny would open a can of CONDENSED milk and pour it over her cornflakes. I never did try it myself to see if it was good!

Awesome! I LOVE your poem. I especially love the part about your aunts and cousins. I can totally connect with those emotions. I love all your boards on Pinterest and now I am excited to follow your blog. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174103779014191452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19699725.post-63340934996336558582012-03-07T09:39:19.346-07:002012-03-07T09:39:19.346-07:00Yeah!

Funny how deeply the South stays with us!<br /><br />My mom was born and raised in Idaho from Scandinavian pioneer stock. <br /><br />I never realized how those two backgrounds converged in my life until I wrote this poem.
