Proud Mother of a Southren Man

I just found out Slick danced at the pageant. I have waited 20yrs to see my boy participate in the pageant but I did not get to see him. He was not prepared to dance but I understand he did a great job according to some people that was there. How this come about is as follows: He went to the pageant with one of his friends to see his friends girlfriend dance. He was dressed as always with jeans, the sleeves cut out of a t-shirt with boots. He was not at all dressed for the occasion but his friends girl choose Slick because the one that was suppose to be picked did not show up. Slick was not going to let a friend be humiliated by not having a partner. He did just what any SOUTHERN MAN would do. He got up and dance with her and had a great time doing it. His grandmother and I are so proud of him because he did not let that young lady down. I hope someone got a picture of him and will send it to me. Things do not always work out just as they are suppose to so don't stress the small stuff.

Be Good

I went to the Board of Supervisors meeting today. It has been so long since I had been. The last thing my hubsand said was "Be good and do not say anything". I said ok. Well he knows I can not just go and say nothing. But he was not there!lol When the subject of the county changing insurance carriers I could not be quiet. Why is the county changing insurance carriers when BCBS is doing a great job? The past few times the county change insurance we where notified after the fact. I would go to the doctor & give my ins. card then six months later find out a doctor bill was not paid because we where not covered at that time by that provider. By the time everything is figured out what had happened it was too late. We would have to pay the bill ourselves. I have heard of this happening to others too. Do you see why I could not just be quiet. I was nice I just ask some questions. Like why are we having open enrollment and the county is bidding for insurance? The Board of Supervisors said they were unaware of that. I explained that was one of the reasons I was in town. The other reason was to give the Board the numbers on the convention. So they would know what my family has been able to do in 5yrs. I invited all the Board members to come to the convention but I did for-warn them there is alot of estrogne in the convention center the weekend of July 23-25, 2009. LOL! My husband just called and said he heard I did NOT do what he said about being good and quiet. What can I say, I am just PAM!

I did it!

Thank you Jaci. It works! I think I am getting the hang of it. Now I have to figure out how to get it on my website. If we, Natchez, can network together with all of our websites than it will show how united we are in promoting Natchez. I know there are so many people that have moved away but still follow what is happening in Natchez. My goal is to help promote Natchez so my son will be able to come home, work and raise a family in Natchez. That way I can be apart of my grandchildrens life. Buddy and I are vested in Natchez and have worked hard to have land to pass on to Slick. The house we live in was built by Buddy's grandfather, Slick Sr. What alot of people don't realize is the lumber used to build our house came out of the antibellum home Dunlieth Plantation out Hwy 84.
