Flashback Friday (Part 50) - You Know You're a Redneck If...

March 5, 2010

My life long friend Kay is a character. There is no one who meets her who doesn't remember her.

Friends since we were in grade school, she grew up in a small town called Beaverdam which is near my parents' lake house in Bumpass. Va. We used to actually be pen pals when she was 12 and I was 11 before there was email. We saw each other on the weekends and used to spend our Spring Breaks together which were called Easter vacation back then.


This photo was taken this past summer of Kay's husband of 10 years, Jonathan and Kay.
JC and Kay - Lake Anna Summer 2009

I fondly refer to her as "Kay the Redneck" to people who haven't met her yet. She denies the title and I simply point out that at her nephew's wedding, incidently who is two years older than her, she punched her older brother, who is 20 years older, In the Face. This was also the same wedding where the bride-to-be included in the invitation that she couldn't wait to "mary her sole mate."

For the record, Kay has a bachelor's and master's degree in civil engineering from the University of Virginia. She's still a redneck.

Now it's your turn.

Find an old picture and share a story about it or why you wanted to share it now. Flashback Friday has no real rules other than to have fun. Please share the link in comments to your actual post and not main blog for others to find you.
If you'd like the button, here's the code to include. There's a square option to your left as well.

She sounds like a wonderful friend! You're comfortable enough to make fun of her on the internet....that's true love. I enjoy all the wedding details too!

Here's my flashback.

Ah yes, engineers do make some of the best rednecks. I have two brothers who are PE's and a sister-in-law who could be but she never bothered to take the tests.

Just by looking at them or talking to them you'd never know one was a Senior manager at NASA and the other is knocking at the doorstep of being CEO at a major energy company.

Long live rednecks.

Why do I find that so incredibly endearing about the punch to the face? She rocks!
