Blue Tongue Lady in a Red Coat

July 9, 2010 in Brunswick GA, Coastal Georgia, Fun, Golden Isles, Sitting on my La-La, So Belle Ya-Ya Sisterhood, This and That

I was duly warned not to move my blue tongue to a red state where the demons of conservatism would certainly eat me alive!

Well, I’m here to tell y’all something. I might slurp up the blueberry juice, and conservatives might lick the red off the candy, but it’s never no mind in the good ole’ south where southerners just don’t know anything about ungracious.

We’ve been in Brunswick for about 1 month and 1/2 now, and loving it more with each day…sure, I grew up here with many childhood memories and am loving the flash backs. But I love the people more. All I have met have warmly invited me into their lives, political leanings aside.

There was a time when I worried that people were defining themselves by their political views, but I can see now I had nothing to worry about.

So, from the Blue Tongue Lady, thank you, to all the really wonderful people down here…and lest I forget, thank you for the great food too. However, I think my growing bulk will probably remind me of how much I love southern food!

In the early morning queue,
With a listing in my hand.
With a worry in my heart,        There on terminal number 9,
Waitin' here in CERAS-land.        Pascal run all set to go.
I'm a long way from sleep,        But I'm waitin' in the queue,
How I miss a good meal so.        With this code that ever grows.
In the early mornin' queue,        Now the lobby chairs are soft,
With no place to go.                But that can't make the queue move fast.
                                Hey, there it goes my friend,
                                I've moved up one at last.
