Taters and Maters

My posts have been too long lately! Here's a little one for you. My Dad insisted to my Mom, on their first trip to Kentucky, that people here said "taters" instead of "potatoes." We all said he was crazy and he supposedly said "tater" the whole trip down (tater mountain, tater pie, tater dog, etc.). Well Dad, we owe you an apology. Heard a guy say tater and even mater (tomato) the other day. Still, keep it away from the road trips for Mom's sake.

hmm...I don't think we are far down south enough for "tater" to enter the vocabulary that much. I don't think I have ever heard "mater" before.

But I will keep an ear open for it.

The BP Gas Station sign on Nicholasville Road proclaims that they "mash taters daily".

We had a great time last night - looking forward to seeing you and Alan tonight!

About Me

I am a wife and mother, a writer by occupation (scary, no?). My new year's resolutions: grow a garden, keep the house clean, less wasted time, more Richard Simmons.
