So driving back to Clarksdale this afternoon on a beautiful sunny delta day I had a revelation: Now that I have a business license I may actually be able to make some money after all of my adventures (and misadventures) here in the Mississippi Delta. What a concept since up until now this has been a labor of love for me. The possibility of actually getting the New Roxy functioning in some capacity seemed like an impossibility for a long time.
After this economic epiphany I took a few moments to drink in the sights of the Mississippi hill country. Being a native of the Pacific Northwest I know quite a bit about hills but the definition of a hill here in Mississippi is just a little different. Gentle, rolling hills with some of the most beautiful scenery (something that first drew me here) dotted with historical sites and of course a rich tradition of music. Here's a link to a site with some great images and information on the area - CLICK HERE
Being a rather proud feminist it has been somewhat of an experience getting used to being called Miss Robin and likewise using the term for others. It is a comfortable term here in the south and though I still sometimes cringe at being called ma'am or Miss when I'm not in the south, down here it just feels right.
