Thank you, Bloom! I appreciate your reading it, as well as your share -- welcome home, Family! ๐๐พ๐๐พ I'm not familiar with Bishopville, but I do know it's north of Charleston, closer to Columbia where my older sister lives now. That you say, "He was a Bradley" cracked me the hell up because it is SO US! ๐ Whenever I meet folk anywhere from Charleston, that's how we try to make each other remember or "know" each other. Either that, or they'll say, "Oh! You're Louise's baby daughter??!!" Too funny!
Yeah, it bother's the hayell out of me when I hear folk like Obama say that shit -- but he didn't know either (though he should have known, seeing his wife and her Mama are both South Carolina girls -- Great Migration notwithstanding). Your Grandma gave you a gift, Darlin' -- hold it close and share it often.
