Here we are as 5th-graders
In the course of this big-time correspondence with a fellow SW Georgia girl, I find myself greeting friends with a, "Hey!" In the portion of south Georgia I call home, "Hey" is more often heard than "Hi, " "Hello," or "Whazzup?" It's not a "Hey YOU!"; it's a hello. After a week with my wonderful Georgia-girl sis-in-law, the Southernism is compounded. So don't be surprised if you say Hi and I say Hey.
And to those who might tease, "Hay is for horses," I say "Nay," Hey is not hay, as neigh is not nay.

How neat to reconnect after all these years. With my southern accent, it is pronounced, "haa aay" with 2 syllables! ha ha
From my friend, via FB:
"Hey, Hey, Hey! I LOVE it~~~THANKS for including me in your blog. I've enjoyed
reading your blog before but now I feel a "part" of it! You're gifted with a
unique way of saying things & I enjoy it.
Thanks for such a sweet "tribute" to our long standing friendship.
By-the-way, here's a trivis question for you, through the years everytime I've heard the
name, Art Linkletter, I've thought of you. Do you know why???"
From K-Sue- I have no idea!
Face book IS fun for reconnecting with old friends. I am on face book, but don't really DO facebook. It find it too much a time sucker!!
