Today I shall share with you a little bit about where I come from..
The Mississippi Delta
This is what the entire Delta looks like at the end of the summer/beginning of fall!!
Beautiful
Mississippi Snow!
The Tallahatchie Flats
Old slave shacks that have been moved and renovated and turned into a hotel!!
This is actually where the boys in our wedding party stayed and we had a wedding shower/party there too!!
 |
| Groomsmen and their lovely ladies! |
 |
| Band Set Up at our Shower! How cute? |
Particularly, I am from the home of Viking Range.
And the Alluvian Hotel
 |
| The Gals enjoying ourselves at the Alluvian after our rehearsal dinner. Yes that's me in the middle barefoot, with a beer... Welcome to the Delta!! |
The Delta Bistro is where we had our rehearsal dinner!
Home to B.B. King
And Robert Johnson
And Muddy Waters
The Crossroads where Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil to play the blues!!
One of Robert Johnson's many gravesites around the Delta
The Delta is also home to Jim Henson
Birthplace of Morgan Freeman!! He still has a home and a owns a few bars and restaurants.
The Help was filmed in my Hometown
My Momma was in this! She's eating watermelon in the movie theater.
And that sums up the Delta History on Pinterest :)

I have lived in MS all my life and I have always wanted to go to the crossroads and I never have :( so sad.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me tear up! How I love the Delta...I never realize how much I miss it until it hits me like a ton of bricks! Love this, Cal!
