How bout down the road a piece as the crow flies. Wouldn't that freak out a foreigner. Had some friends that lived in New Iberia, La. (born east texans). They would say come see. Rhonda your mama sounds like mine. She also says that just slays me. She started out in Kansas. One of my son's friends moved to Minnesota or Wisconsin during high school & she was the most popular girl in school as everybody wanted to talk to the Texas girl. When my DH worked at the sheriffs dept many years ago, he went to Owego, NY.on a drug case. Those guys had a ball with the Texas boys & their southern accents. Everybody that came into the plub after work, the officers would call them over to talk to the Texas boys. DH learned real quick that ice tea in NY ain't the same as in Texas. It was quite an experience but he enjoyed it. My DGM use to say when you sneezed Gazoonhite Westavikindlelite. I still don't know what that means. I think its german. My ole southern GD would say scat.
