My dear cousin, your larger-than-life mother was indeed so fiercely devoted to the idea that we were a dying southern aristocracy. It rubbed off on me a little, πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Made me proud of the fam, even without the mansions. And my Wardlaw dad has held onto his modest properties very well, so there’s hope for our generation! I then went and married a Southern Italian who knows not only how to hold onto property, but cook as well. You and I are related on multiple levels now. ❀️

We hail from the same regions! My birthfather immigrated to the US from a town close to Naples.
