Reuben grew large enough to fit his camo coat just in time for his trip to SC! We're leaving tomorrow morning and I'm so excited I've been singing Dixie to him all day. Every so often, out of guilt, I slip in The Battle Hymn of the Republic or Yankee Doodle to break things up. I know technically I already live South of the Mason-Dixon line but it doesn't feel like it. No boiled peanuts anywhere and that is a sad sad thing. So we're going to go away WAY down South in Dixie.
On a side note, I just learned that Dixie was written by an Ohioan in New York City for a Minstrel show. How ironic. Here's the source.

katy,
enjoy sc. too bad we're not there to hang out with you and rube. perhaps rube could suck on some boiled peanuts. it may give him an affinity for ham...since we both know boiled peanuts have a meaty taste.
I have to agree. DC suburbs, although south of the Mason Dixon line, don't qualify as living in the south.
Who gave Reuben a camo coat? Not his oma from SC...
There's a great place right by the Irmo side of the dam.
My first time with boiled peanuts was like eating poop, but after that I fell in love with them, and was addicted!! I miss them a ton, it's been years! Your baby is still cute, good job growing him!
