Mention the Civil War to a Southerner and you will not get a polite reply. Belles can cover up their feelings most of the time with a smile and a &#8220;Bless your heart!&#8221;, but when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my very favorite things about fall is the start of college football season. Living in the beautiful Upstate of South Carolina puts me directly in the midst of the Clemson/Carolina debate. Fortunately neither my husband nor myself attended either school, so we can cheer for both. Unless they are playing each other&#8230;. which [...]]]></description>

Is there anything better than snuggling under the warm covers with an open window bringing in cool, crisp air? Okay, there&#8217;s a few things better, but that has to rank right up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Southern Belle&#8217;s Ten Golden Rules
1) Never serve pink lemonade at your Junior League committee meetings. It has communist undertones.
2) Always wear white when you walk down the aisle (even if it&#8217;s for the third time).
3) Never wear white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day. The only exception, of course, is if you&#8217;re a [...]]]></description>
