Here in the South, people use a vocabulary that I am not accostomed to. Like a shopping cart they call a buggy, and of course everyone uses y'all. What I found most surprising was the word fixin. To me fixing means to mend something that is broken or making something, like dinner. But apparently you can use fixin in a lot of sentences. Like the little girl at church who told my husband that I was fixin to have a meetin. And the lady at the driver's license office fixin to get my picture taken. What exactly does fixin mean? You gotta love the South.
Just a random picture from the local farmer's market
And what's up with catfish every Friday at all the local restaurants?

Oh you are crackin' me up! I love hearing about your adventures in the South. Too funny.
We missed you this week when C and G were here :( Hope you guys are doing great!
yeah, I love it when "professionals" say it, like the nurse at the Dr.s office who told me she was fixin to bring me back.
Happy Birthday.
Meatless Fridays (fish doesn't count). Southern religious tradition.
