ann looks like an apple cheeked debutante waiting to be introduced to proper society. yeah, they still do that stuff down here but its useless for making business and social connections like it used to.
"Still do"? I thought it was experiencing an unfortunate comeback and not just in the South of the US of A. I'd have died a death had my daughter gone to one of those cattle shows.
BTW: On our road trip we were running out of time (if we still wanted to see the Appalachians) towards the end so we circumvented the Atlanta region altogether (my son favored rural regions to urban ones, coming from Berlin he says that he has enough metropolitan life "at home"), hence unfortunately no meeting with you and your stepsons!
