Franks Outback at Pawleys Island. I am always with people

Being gracious in most any situation and making people feel comfortable around me. My father told me that is what makes a lady or gentleman.
What does your room look like (color scheme, theme, etc.):
We have a cherry sleigh bed with ivory duvet and big pillows from Pine Cone Hill. The walls are painted Quietude (see my favorite colors!) An oriental rug covers the hardwoods. I must have the windows open for lots of light… fresh flowers are on my dresser. On Saturday mornings, boys jumping in and snuggling with their mama completes the picture.
I wasn't sure which room you actually meant, so here is my living/great room. Some have said it has Southern Living style. Thank you so much! But I'll let you be the judge.

If you could have dinner with 2 people (dead or alive) who would they be:
My paternal grandparents. My grandfather died when I was 4 and I didn’t really know him at all. My grandmother died when I was 16 and was very “old” and sick for a long time. I just have so many things I want to share with her about my life… and ask her about hers.
What is your next “big splurge”:
An oriental rug for the foyer… or an IPad (I am a closet techie).
What is your favorite joke, quote, or saying:
Anything from Clairee Belcher (Steel Magnolias), especially:
“The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.”
“Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice
to say about anybody, come sit by me!”
“Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice
to say about anybody, come sit by me!”
“That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”
Anything else you would like us to know about you (random fact)!?
I think PRIME NUMBERS are weird (with the exception of 3 and 5, don't ask me why). For those of you who forgot what they are: whole numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself.
The bad thing is that tomorrow I turn 41! In twenty-four hours, I will be prime...
I tag all of you as I celebrate
