Living in the same small town and seeing it's sights, day after day, for most of my life, I think I have become a little numb to some of my hometown's charms (and some of her blemishes too, most likely). For instance, I have never found anything much out of the ordinary about this sign advertising one of the specialties at Jill's, a local eatery.
But when I saw that Cait and Kathryn had thought it unusual enough to snap a photo, I began to realize that perhaps not everyone has ready access to such delicacies as bologna biscuits (or, as we say in Leeds, Alabama, "baloney biscuits").
It was fun seeing the old stomping grounds afresh through the eyes of Cait, who has been away for several years, and Kathryn, who's a New England Yankee girl. We had almost two weeks of reminiscing, laughing, eating, and enjoying each other's company. They boarded a train bound for Providence, R.I., on Friday, but due to many delays and disasters, only made it home early this morning. One of the disasters was that their train struck and killed a man at a crossing, holding them up for several hours. That, combined with drunken passengers, mechanical problems, stuck draw bridges, and I don't know whatall, made for a long and tiresome journey.
I'm glad the girls are home safe, and I'm praying we can get together again really soon.

Ah, be it ever so humble, there's nothing like good Southern food - and, of course, nothing like home! How marvelous that you and the girls had so much fun, many laughs, and fine food. Sorry their trip northward toward home was frought with many tiresome delays.
I had a half baloney sandwich today, as a matter of fact. Have you ever tried a crisp candied dill pickle on a baloney sandwich? Talk about fine eating! Kroger has them if you're interested and if you can get a gallon of dill pickles, I have a wonderful recipe for turning them into candied dills.
Wishing you a wonderful week!
Hugs!

I wouldn't have given a second thought to the sign either. I grew up on baloney sandwiches, or fried baloney with eggs. Good times!

I see where Hardee's is offering bologna and Velveeta biscuits.
