I miss the South.

I'm not sure if it is true for every person or just us Southerners. I feel a real attachment to where I spent a lot of my life, Mississippi. I live in a beautiful area of the country now but I still miss things of the south.

Not the little ones that grow up here in KY. The ones that have been around for years whose limbs reach out with a strong gracefulness.

Pear salad

This used to be a staple at the supper table when I was growing up. I have to admit I haven't fixed it for my family. I did describe it to my husband once and it took a while for the confused look to leave his face.
