http://madeinrichmond.net/maddie/ One doesn't *become* a Southern lady. You either are, or you're not. No amount of acclimation will make up for a lack of upbringing based on bare feet, good manners, and the mastery of puddling rather than sweating.

I just lost my mom last Monday, but it is all OK, it is the "natural" order of things, she was 80 years old, and lived a full and happy life, she did not suffer, and we all celebrated her life as she would have wanted (and expected!). I cannot imagine losing a child, and I can only send my prayers to this family and hope that they can make some sense of what has happened, because everything happens for a reason, whether we can figure it out at the time or not, but eventually you do. Keep on posting, Reams love it! Hi Val, I read your blog all the time, and JR is just too adorable.
