Moving on Up!!

Sometimes I feel like I stepped back in time when I moved here. For example, the county I live in is still a dry county (no alcohol sold). I was so naive when I moved here  because I didn't think that dry counties even existed anymore, but alas, they do. Even though the town I live in only has one caution light, it is finally moving on up in the world. Take a guess at what will be opening soon..........

That is right ladies and gents! The Dollar General will be opening in a few months! Maybe we will even get a fast food joint at some point now that our town is expanding. This an exciting time for our little town. If all you had was a gas station with overpriced hamburger buns, you would be "tickled to death". 

You gotta love all of the southern sayings. When I first moved here, it was almost like I had to learn a new language. I have to watch what words I use when I am talking because it is taken the wrong way from time to time. For example, I can't say innuendo because then someone never fails to ask, "What's in the windah?". No joke. My husband and I had a deep discussion about using the word innuendo in these parts and his nanny proved his point beautifully.

It is also almost election time and all the electioneering is in full swing in our county. I can feel all of the excitement in the air as I try to stifle a yawn. There is constantly someone at my door asking for my vote. Then the other day, as I drove my oldest son to school, this is what I saw.......

Yep, it is a life-size sign of one of the people running for magistrate. There is one thing that  I can say about living in the country. There is always something interesting to write about. Until next time....
