"Southern hospitality is a phrase used in American English to
describe the stereotype of residents of the Southern United States as
particularly warm, sweet, and welcoming to visitors to their homes, or to the
South in general. Food figures
highly in Southern hospitality, a large component of the idea being the
provision of Southern cuisine to visitors. A cake or other delicacy is often
brought to the door of a new neighbor as a mechanism of
introduction"(Wikipedia's definition)
My definition....Just good ole kindness shown
to people no matter where they live. The past two weeks, we have been
reminded that we live in this land of Southern hospitality, which can
sometimes seem fake to those that do not live in "the south".
But let me tell you there hasn't been one bit of fake in all of the
goodies that have been dropped off by many of our new neighbors as they welcome
us to the new hood. I don't even think there has been one single teaspoon
of splenda used....
