when someone asks me about my hometown that is always how I describe it…There is something about the place I grew up, that no matter where I go, or what I see… nothing will ever compare. It has the tallest trees, and the sweetest air…the quietest streets, and the most familiar faces…the greenest grass, and the quaintest houses…and while I did not belong to all of these places so many years ago, they all belong to me now. They are a part of me…a part of my memories, and the golden feeling I get when I return will never tarnish. I love just driving around…down all the streets I spared no attention for as a youngster. Past all the houses that were only paid with a fleeting glance as a teen. I now stare with happy reflection. I sang down those streets. I screamed down those streets. I ran down those streets. Usually with a pal in tow and a verse on my tongue…oh such joy…or drama…or heartache…all of it worthwhile now that I have found this happy place.
15 years ago I was dying to leave…now I dream of going back. Home Sweet Home.
Here is a beautiful young woman who will be leaving that home next year…perhaps going to Mississipi…I would wager she will one day love our hometown as much as I do now…all things in time…right? She may seriously beg to differ…




One stunning lady huh?
Lookie at this little gal…is she just not peaches and cream, sugar and honey…all the things that little girls are made of…
