I just came back from a trip to Piedmont. Now, 15 years later, I actually kind of miss the place. I miss some of my old friends, my old neighborhood, and even that quaint small town life. Now that I'm in the North, I actually miss my hometown.
Here are a few things that I miss about Alabama:
The sight of Kudzu.
Really good Barbecue.
Red Clay.
..and the fishing *.
*note- the guy on the right was my childhood friend from Piedmont.

Enjoy your trip. Saludos to your family.
I know what you mean... I just got back from a trip to my childhood home in Seattle, and it brought back all sorts of mixed emotions. It's amazing how the memories came flooding back when I was driving around my old home town.
It's funny how distance makes the heart grow fonder. God must have blessed us in a special way when He made our memories to remember the good things and forget the bad.
It has been fun catching up with you. You are such a great writer. Your children are adorable! Next time you come to Alabama, we should get together.
DREAMLAND!!! YUMMMYYYYY. I am lucky to have discovered there is one over in Mobile. There really isn't much BBQ here in the Panhandle of Florida. Also, no kudzu. Weird huh? Have you found that the green of the kudzu and such is so green it almost hurts your eyes? I go home obviously more than you get too, but everytime I do I love it. I am amazed by the hills. The land is so flat here.
Oh, I was right there with you all the way up to the red clay. I still hate the red clay and that's all we have in our yard here in Georgia.
I'm glad you had a nice trip home though!
Did they noodle for those fish?
