Just had to join in...
I have several friends that have introduced me to the world of blogging. I'm normally not a follower, but this seems worthwhile, so I will follow. Lead me on, oh wise ones that have gone before me.
Ok enough of that. I suppose I will explain the title of my blog "Southern Ramblings." It seems the more I travel, the more my southern accent comes out and the more I realize how many sayings are simply indigenous to the South. A prime example is the phrase, "Well, I do declare..." usually said immediately following shocking or surprising news. I mean really - what is the other person declaring? Possibly shock at the statement you have just revealed? Oh well - it is not as if I will suddenly changes centuries of sayings, just because I question them.
I will try to periodically update w/ southern sayings and my thoughts on them. However, there will probably not be a daily posting.
