I think my southern blog friends Andy and Mandy have taken pity on us northerners with all the snow that’s been dumped on us lately. Yesterday, much to my surprise, the mail lady came trudging up to the side gate with a package in hand…they really do deliver in sleet and snow!
It was a much welcomed package full of southern comfort –
My birthday is around the corner, so they added this note…
It all started with Andy’s rave about these B & G handmade pies..
I went looking, and discovered they are only found in the South.
He thought that was a travesty and decided to send some my way.
Let me tell ya, the lemon pies are a bite full of southern sunshine.
Gone in 60 seconds.
But they didn’t stop with the pies.
Nooo.. we’ve got corn muffin and biscuit mixes…
Biscuit cut ham… now that’s something I have never seen around here….
….and Apple Butter from the Dutch Kettle.
I happen to love apple butter.
Andy and Mandy put the gold star on the term Southern Hospitality.
A & M – Thanks so much for warming up this chilly New England house yesterday.
Andy blogs about home improvement projects and family,
hailing from North Carolina. He stumbled upon my blog when we
were in the midst of ressurecting This Old House and began following along.
You can find his blog HERE.
Aren't bloggers the best sometimes? I'll never forget the sweet little package of soaps that you sent me that time. Still using them. What goes around, comes around, my friend ~ xo
Well now if that isn't just the sweetest surprise to receive on a snowy winter's day. Nice!
That's very thoughtful of them. I'm not sure what would represent my area of the country except a bottle of local wine.
How sweet of them. They are a great representation of the true southerner's helpful spirit. I live in NC too – will have to check out their blog. 🙂
Well, you know I gotta go find people like THAT! What a great package-Now I am hungry! xo Diana
