Today Jeff and I went to lunch just the two of us. We have been working hard and accomplishing relatively little. Or so it seems. We have the car, the house, and ... a lot more to do.
Our waitress was lovely, very friendly and personable as are all the people in Mississippi. When she asked us what we would like to drink Jeff asked her what they have and she went through the entire list which was exhaustive. We ordered drinks, him a sweet tea and me a water. Later when she came for our food order, Jeff asked if he could also have a chocolate milk shake, he told her that it had been on his mind since she mentioned it. And when she brought him his milk shake she set it down on the table and said...
here you are sweetie
After she walked away, I said to Jeff - she called you sweetie. He said to me, welcome to the south baby. Have I told you lately that I love Mississippi? It is warm here too, so warm and so lovely.
Tomorrow we are hoping to find a washer, dryer, refrigerator, cell phone, couch and chairs. Monday our furniture is being delivered and our cable, Internet and phone are being hooked up. What do you think the chances are that if we buy all that stuff tomorrow we can have it delivered Monday? I am thinking not bloody likely but Jeff is convinced.

It could happen.
I remember such trips and I applaud you.
it's possible, sugar.
good luck getting through it all!
ah, the south. where charm is as sticky-sweet as the heat in july.
"Sweetie", "sugar", "hon"...if a waitress didn't call me one of those I'd feel as if I'd done something wrong! :)
Hope your appliance search goes well!
Yes Mame' it certainly could happen, although people in the south do move slower...Hope all your household stuff remains intack and the damage isn't to bad. Let us know. Glad you all are enjoying Mississippi!
