This is one of my favorite things to eat! My best friend makes the best shrimp and grits...much better than mine! My grandmother and aunt's made this all the time. I guess I'm really a true southerner because I love this so much. I enjoyed seeing you make it today...YUM!🦐

First let me offer condolences for the loss in your family. I know what you are going through. My brother passed away the end of May after being in my home on Hospice for about two months. There is a lot to tend to afterwards. But moving on. I really enjoy your videos and your being a southern girl like me, with your soft accent, makes it especially enjoyable. I had to write you when you pulled out those candy wrappers because I have a stash of those same ones and just used them in Margarete Millers Collage Challenge 24! I spent most of yesterday in my craft room sorting and throwing out, which was not my plan. So today, I'm just going to play! Thank you for the reminder.

I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my mom fifty years ago this past January. She was fifty and I was fifteen. It hurts and will always hurt and you will miss her. It will take you time to get over her not being there for you to care for. It did us when my MIL passed away in 1990. Take care of yourself. Sending hugs your way.

Thank you so much! I understand loosing your Mom at a young age. My Mom passed away when I was 25. It is definitely taking time to get used to not taking care of my MIL. The house is so quiet now and we are having to adjust our schedules too. Sometimes, we wander around trying to figure out what we SHOULD be doing, because the norm for us has been taking care of her and now, we have a lot of time on our hands lol. Thank you for your kindness sweet friend. Sending big hugs right back atcha!
