No big vacations for me. But I do love these little two or three day road trips. Last time Poppi and I went south he insisted we stop at the town where Johnny Cash was born. Very poor cotton pickin country. I could have done without that experience but it made him happy. I always know we are getting closer when I see the sign on I-55 that says Bayhou Road.<BR/>Byhalia Mississippi (pronounced Bi, not Ba) is the destination for the one and only granddaughter's 5th birthday. Byhalia is right down there in the heart of Dixie, just south of Memphis. And they have the cutest little Piggy Wiggly store. The only one in town. Now in the Piggy Wiggly I can find things that cannot be found in Yankee land. I notice when I visit Piggly Wiggly that the ladies all congregate around the piles of turnip greens, mustard greens and collard greens for their social time. One can stop and chat with the locals about how they fix their greens. Everyone knows that dark greens are good for you. I for one have never been able to fix greens and need all the help I can get. Everyone is very friendly in Byhalia and always wanting to know where I live. I guess the accent gives it away.<BR/>So off to the south I go to celebrate a second birthday party for the week. Just not enough hours in the day.<BR/>Happy birthday to Carter 9, and Emmy 5. Time is marching on.<BR/>Gram with her party hat on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099108.post-7310594544688267182007-06-06T16:06:00.000-05:002007-06-06T16:06:00.000-05:00Hey, girl!
