[TravelLady48 0]

Hey Y'all:

Just because I was born in Socal, I have deep roots in the south. My parents are from Louisana and I also spent 5 happy years working in Atlanta.:biggrin2:

GG:

Don't mistake Grits for cornmeal porridge, its taste much better.

I have in-laws in London and have been there many times. I hope to come again soon.(once Iam comfortable enough in the airplane seats).

Glad to find you all. I was born in Dallas, Tx, but grew up in East TX, lived in Baton Rouge, La for 17 yrs, relocated back to East TX.

I was just telling a friend of mine that when I go to get my fills or LB support groups, I'm the only WOC in the mtg. To my knowledge there are very few around here if not any. BTW, love grits. I only discovered them when I moved to Baton Rouge, thought it was actually "grits" (sand). lol

My ex DH thought I was a lunatic. lol
