Today's Tom Sawyer

[ink_ling]

Yesterday, I went with my family to eat blue-plate buffet in Murfreesboro in an old house converted into a restaurant. It was my brother's birthday. I stuffed myself crazy: mashed potatoes, asparagus, a variety of slaws and salads, hot wings, catfish, banana pudding, coconut pie, and ... a coffee to keep me somewhat alert for the 3-hour drive

Love the drag king story - and I agree with the above post, endorsing your talents as a writer of southern literature. I see that all through your writing, & I love that, even when I don't comment.

*grin* Thanks a billion, sweet bubba! I reckon I'd do better to take such kind words to heart and commit myself more fully to the writing some time. Maybe the heart's turning that way, who knows? *hug*

And perhaps if you leave the south, you might find even more inspiration to write what you know.

Hugs back at ya, stud. And make sure some minor character falls out of his chair at some point. Just sayin'...

But I would lose my first-hand material! *panics* :)

Minor? Maybe I'll have every character fall out of hisn's or hern's chair simultaneously to a cinematic sforzando! :) Haha!

Trust me, the South will never leave you, no matter where you roam...

And I like that... literary device. Works for me ;)
