Skoal Rings and Billfolds

OMG. We just went to see Country Strong. While the critics might not like it so much, it was one of the most real and honest movies I have seen in a long time. Aside from the heartbreakingly beautiful story it told, all I can say is HOT DAMN, I miss the south. Everything about it. The way southern people are so wonderful, the way it's okay to wear head-to-toe denim and have Dolly Parton sized hair, the accents, the hospitality, how people go out of their way to hold the door, the Nashville skyline, the honky tonks, the way they love their country music, and most of all, the way you feel when you're there.

And, since we're being honest, the country boys with their worn out jeans and scruffy beards don't hurt the situation. Not one bit.
