Culture shock. She lived in Jackson. Then back here and then she moved to South Carolina and it was even more culture shock. When you are raised in an historically based multi cultural acceptance area and move to an area that is still divided by class and race...she was a changed person when she got back here 2 years ago. Much different appreciation for loosey goosey and acceptance, I'll tell ya.

Having lived in Michigan my whole life, I can't personally relate, but have had relatives that lived in the South (my Aunt was born and raised in Michigan, so it was quite a culture shock for her to move to the Carolinas). Between her stories, and now yours, I find your insightful descriptions fascinating! Thank you SO much for sharing each step of the way, with us!Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050428036946794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467888874873928043.post-33792405799152032762011-04-20T06:16:03.448-06:002011-04-20T06:16:03.448-06:00one of my terrors of moving to a warmer state!

While I feel religious in my heart,,i don't outwardly practice it in a church..and I don't think i could keep my normally shy mouth shut when faced with that kind of foolishness. I have a teddy the dog t shirt ( actually several!) that says Its not ok to obey ( i have a terrier..hello) and even in PA they look at it as a political statement! and maybe it is!
