So glad to read something positive about Cam and Auburn! I live in Mississippi and I am so tired of having to listen to all the 'crap' (pardon my French). War Eagle and let's win the National Championship!
I'm a Southern girl who loves my family and home. Born and raised in the Deep South, I have a great respect for our heritage and try in my own little way to keep the Southern lifestyle alive and well! I'm happily married to a wonderful man and we have two grown children and four grandchildren who are the love of our lives! I hope you enjoy your visit to my Southern home and as we say here in Dixie, ya'll come back now, ya hea!
