Drum Roll please………..

Yes Ma’am, the Darlin‘ Miss Katie wins 2 fabulous cookbooks, Dolly Parton’s Dixie Fixin’s and Sweetie Pies! Don’t you think she’s as “cute-as-Christmas?” (that was one of the saying’s she shared, and I think it fits her perfectly!)

I want to thank all of you gals for filling me in on all of your favorite Southern-isms and memories of living in the South. I loved, loved, loved, reading all of your comments, along with my

Sweet Tea of course!

Such gracious, warm, and loving people you Southerners are!

That’s why I’m a Southern Belle wanna-be! Your comments were a delicious taste of Down South and will be so very helpful in my writing project.

As Miss Katie would say…

Bless your little pea-pickin‘ hearts!

Well gals, I want to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, her name is Catiena and she is one sassy girl. She’s got spunk, a love for all things vintage, she adores her husband and two lovable daughters! She is a queen homemaker and my kind of girl because she loves pearls and lipstick….. and to top it all off and loves the Lord with her whole heart!
Catiena and her husband also have a passion for vintage cars, take a look at one of them, with sassy Lucy Ricardo on the back! How fabulous is that!
Here’s the scoop! Miss Catiena has just started her own blog! The Vintage Housewife, so please stop by for a visit and give her some blog-love and encouragement, won’t you! She is actually having her first give-away too! A sweet-bit-of-pink-confection, vintage apron that some cute 1950’s homemaker tied on, to bake her Coconut Cream Pies.

I would love for her to come home from picking her girls up from school and click on her blog, only to see a bunch of delightful and welcoming comments to read! Thanks gals!

Well poor-little-ol-me has got some kind of bug. Yup, I’m a little under the weather this week. Boo! Hoo! too, because I have some fun stuff I want to share with you! I did some new things in my kitchen to freshen it up for spring.

But I need to wait until I am bright eyed and bushy-tailed! A little rest, some hot tea with lemon and honey….. and many episodes of Cooking with Paula Deen ought to do the trick!

Thanks for stopping by for pie….ya’ll come back now ya hear?!
Hugs!
Ruthann

Oh my goodness is right! You gals went above and beyond my expectations in sharing your Southern-isms with me! What an absolute delight it was to read all of your comments! Some of your recollections of living in the South, made me laugh out loud and others warmed my heart. I love all of it so much I want to marry it! In fact I want more! So I am going to extend the deadline to Sunday, March 2, (just a few more days!) this will be the last day to post a comment to be included in the drawing.

It’s called Sweety Pies;

An Uncommon Collection Of Womanish Observations With Pie

Inside the front cover are photos of

vintage handwritten pie recipes. How adorable is that!

This book is filled with pictures

and sweet Southern Memories!

It’s right up my alley! I would love to sit down

and have with a slice of Apple Butter Pie

and some sassy conversation

with the fabulous Sister Chestermae!

So here is the scoop…in the words of a proper Southern woman, I would love to hear more nicknames, your favorite memory growing up in the south….describe your mama, grandmother, daddy or grand-daddy, a favorite aunt or uncle, what they looked liked…how they dressed…what you loved about them….tell me what you did for fun as a family….what town events you celebrated…any interesting characters you knew that really stand out in your mind….who was your hero growing up and why? What did your mama’s or Grandmothers kitchen look like, smell like? Tell me about the town and the homes, what they looked like. The more comments you leave the better chance of winning!

Come Monday morning (March 3rd), I will draw one of your names out of my favorite mixing bowl and announce the winner! The winner will receive 2 wonderful cookbooks…Dolly Parton’s Dixie Fixin’s and Sweety Pies by Patty Pinner. This is a $50.00 value! If you are new to this blog, read the following post titled Yoo Hoo! Calling All Southern Belles! to see what all of this talk of Southern goodness is all about!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for stopping by for pie!
