This post made me think of my Southern upbringing and my impression of the friendliness and outgoing nature of people I meet in the South, when I return for a visit. I truly believe these people are being genuine and are more extroverted (which may be why I don't fit in there). But I don't want to be in that environment all the time. This not to criticize niceness or politeness in any context. It just made me think about the subject.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-47391588324232153242014-03-09T20:25:58.931-06:002014-03-09T20:25:58.931-06:00Moira: Thanks for the comment.

In some ways it reminds me very much of the time my family and I spent living in west-central Illinois.
