Or, as my friend who's gran was Pennsylvania Dutch would say, "in the house, the rain I am waiting to end." *LOL* I think it's a shame we all seem to be losing our regional dialects. Everything is becoming a generic "northern" or a generic "southern". Another friend of mine has family that hails from rural Virginia (his grandpap rubbed elbows with the early greats of this country). I could listen to his uncle talk all day long, that lovely Virginia accent. (Of course I inherit this from my mom: when she was 80 and needed to get a photo id to replace her driver's license, we went to the DMV and were waited on by an older man with this absolutely amazing Cuban accent. My mom kept asking him these dumb questions and he kept patiently answering them. When we finally got out, I said, "Mum why were you asking all those questions??" "I just wanted to keep him talking....that accent makes my knees weak." *HA*
