Makes me a little homesick -- but not for the weather!
As to #16 -- some of my family said "you'uns"
I'm just a hillbilly -- when I talk to my sister on the phone my husband
tells me my accent gets more pronounced and I s-l-o-w d-o-w-n -- Now,
y'all know that ain't true, doncha?
I like not only Moon Pies, but remember Valomilks and GooGoo's ? And those
chocolate covered vanilla candies that we used to call "haystacks" because
of their shape (I think they're really Vanilla Cream Drops). . . . . . . .
. . . . . .
Ok, I'll stop now..............sorry to ramble.
