My cousin was lonesome for some company so she asked her mother "Momma make your nose itch so somebody will come over"

Tipper thanks so much for this post, it brought back so many good memories. I've heard these 'goodbyes' all my life but don't use them much anymore. When someone would say, "Just spend the night" and us kids like you said would be dancing around. He would say,'Naw that's too much like kinfolk" even though he said it in a joking way we knew he had a reason for not staying or letting us stay. I don't know why it was so much fun to spend the night with someone especially as a kid, but it was!

I love a good biscuit. I don't like my own though. I'm going to town tomorrow, gonna get some cream and try this recipe!! Thanks. I really enjoy your blog, you feel like family. The music is great too, my uncles and Dad always played music when they got together. My uncles have all passed on and this is such a comfort. My folks are from the Ozark hills of Arkansas. Daisygirl
