Dear JawJaw

All that southern humour is most welcome...I thoroughly enjoy it.

The greatness of a writer is a life lived well...with as much humour, pathos, beauty, angst, friendship and love all expressed with soul and humour and love and JawJaw you are indeed in a calibre of great light!

Even though I'm from Canada I can fully appreciate all you great southern writers. If it weren't for the south we wouldn't have such a diversity of literature in this hemisphere.

I was in the south over 20 years ago, travelling through Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. The scents and the moss on the trees and those big huge colonial houses....so much character and beauty. I was only around eighteen at the time and it sure was an adventure...seeing a culture so different from my own and so beautiful.

In appreciation for you lovely, saucy southern humour...what a lovely gift to be able to share the beauty that is you!

With love
Leigha
