After watching, "Hillbilly - The Real Story" on the history channel, I'm pretty sure I am 1/16 hillbilly. Which would explain my man whiskers, and eating out of cans. It all makes sense now!
Some of my ancestors were Scotch Irish, and came from Pennsylvania.
If you've got that in your background, we might be kissin' hill billy cousins...
or cuzins - however we hillbilly's say it.
No wonder I'm the only person who's seen deliverance more than once. Both times with the "person" that this ancestry comes from.
In order to connect to my roots, I've decided to take a vacation, and learn more of my ancestry
Maybe I'll discover some hillbilly traditions I can start in my own family.
Heck, maybe I'll make our own holiday, and we can celebrate it every year! I'll call it, Hillbillicas. Yes, sounds my-tee-fine to me. Maybe decorate a toilet plunger and play banjo by it at night.
So, be good while I'm gone.
Don't dip into my moonshine stash.
Oh yes, I know about your "habit".
P.S. Oops! I think I just "Mess(ed) with Texas" Y'all! ;)
P.P.S. Suzee and Wynne, thanks for the mail, I'll blog about it when I get back! :*

Be careful. Sandra Lee might have to "create" a dessert for Hillbillicus!
I totally have family that was Scotch-Irish from PA! Darn, I mean, Yay! I didn't know that meant hillbilly...
YeeeHaw!
I dun gots me sum Scotch-Irish from PA, too! Or was it some Irish Scotch - you know, the moonshiney kind? And yes, the hillbillies used to live in the Alamo - in the basement.
Have a fun safe trip and come back with some more fun words :)
I been saving up my "good" set of teeth for a special occasion. I guess you comin to town qualifies.
Once you see the gorgeous part of town I live in you'll return to your home filled to the brim with fresh and innovative decorating ideas......like transforming that old stained toilet into an impromptu flower pot for your front yard. Maybe you can acquire some classy Confederate flags while you're here to add that certain little je nais se quoi to your homestead.
Don't get eaten by a cockroach.
If you're driving, I believe your status allows for you to tie everything to the top of the car.
Hey! I'm half Texan! When I was kid living in Austin I used to get eaten alive by chiggers! Fun stuff!
I'm jealous! Sounds like you are off to Elastic's house! Have a great time and DON'T dig too far into your geneology...just sayen.
I often wondered what was the deal with my kids until I uncovered the TRUTH! Yup, me and my hubby are related. Just have to go back about 3 generations to connect up is all. I think I might be part Hillbilly or Redneck or somethin!!
Have fun!
Deliverance gave hillbillies and banjos a bad name. So did the Gogans from Pete's Dragon. I prefer the Beverly Hillbillies and the Andy Griffith, Mayberry type.
I am proud of my banjo playing, pollywog in their drinking water, hillbilly heritage. And I am pretty sure I have Scoth Irish ancestors.
Have a good ol' time!
And you can't prove anything about the moonshine stash.
Ohh...good times. You're vacationing!
I have to say that the pic you chose for this post is one of my all time fave 50's adds!
Warning! Eatin' pork and beans from a can could result in the need for immediate exorcism!
That kid just makes we want to run right out and buy some for my family!
I'm part hillbilly :) With a little Scotch-Irish thrown in as well! Explains soooo much :) Of course, my hillbilly ancestors are from illinois and north carolina. My pennsylvania ancestors are the italians.
I'm half redneck with a splash of hillbilly. But all lady.
Would that be Hillbillicas for the Silly Cuss?
sort of like festivus for the rest- wha? you get it? and I just made it unfunny trying to explain it?
oh.
p.s. my word verification is hurker. It means someone who lurks and reads a post that makes them vomit. But that's what they get for being a hurker.
If you are a Hillbilly than you are my kind of Hillbilly!
Not that scary kid again!
Have fun Carrot :D
Just keep drivin' past that roadkill. It's not good eatin'.
You being gone is boooooooooring me.
Have so much fun with Elastic!!! I want to hear all about it when you return home! :)
Hey, it's been long enough. Get with the storytelling already.
Helloooo?
:)
