Bon Jour neighbor....
We are back to speak a little french.... or parley francais .... The french word for femminie beauty is you guessed it... belle, therefore the term as it applies to the southern ladies.... By the way, a third of the english language is from french....
Now for those of you who have never been south, the girls here were raised to be perfect ladies.... A lady is a woman with refinement.... Manners is the key word here... Proper manners that is, knowing when to say please, thank you, and smile...
This something the transplants from north of the M/D line need to practice more..... If you do not know where the M/D line is it is just below "Yankeeland".... We must come to realize that everyone wants to be treated nice.... This is the bases for the training these southern belles received... Considerations are the next inportant part of getting along with your neighbors.... So you see the sum of the whole revolves around being nice to your neighbor... Kind of like Mr Rogers used to say..... Now he was one fine yankee.... You did know he studied in the south.....
Southern ladies learn to be gracious and kind to the less fortunate.... Help the poor widows and the homeless... You see this was before the FED GOV jumped in and messed up a good system.... The ladies would also be the best at their home crafts, cooking, canning and other refindments of the home... Much of that is gone now, with the meddeling of the FEDs......
We can pick this up later when we get back to showing the quality of the southern family life...
Stay tuned as we next look at some southern heros.... No not Wonder dog.... Check back and see....
