Bonnie,
    That speech pattern sounds a bit Irish to me.


<< My granma Westberry was a Swilley. Born in Georgia, died in Florida, she

>This phrase "she did" really caught my eye.

>"We went to the store, so we did."
>"It was cold outside, so it was."
>My husband and I will often imitate G'pa Butler with wry smiles on our
faces.
