Home again, Home again, Jiggetty Jig

All the things I miss and love about Home:
  • Sweet tea
  • Fresh fried okra
  • Neighbors who give you fresh eggs, home-canned mayhaw jelly, and pound cake
  • Folks in other cars who wave when you pass each other on the two-lane road - even though they don't know you
  • Mama
  • How things don't really change, at least not the things that matter
  • The same old stories
  • Barq's rootbeer in a longneck bottle
  • That warm feeling of belonging that you get when you cross the state line - that feeling that says I know this place and it knows me, and it's part of what makes me who I am

Can I get an Amen?
