No one up here in Vermont would ever say, "We want to get you into the community". People here would decide , on their own, "when" , "where" and "if" they wanted to attend something or other. Also, no one up here would say, "We should get you right into water aerobics". (after just arriving from a day of travel and two airports and rental car maze in Orlando, which I'm sure others can agree with, esp. if they woke up at 3 a.m.)........again, just too overwhelming.
This made me smile. Sometimes people from other areas do not understand "Southern Hospitality". We can't stand for anyone to feel left out or ignored..It would be rude. We are gonna come right over to meet you, bring cookies and ask, How's your Momma. You bet, we will want you to feel a part of the community immediatley. Some people think we are nosey but "sugar", that's just the way we are in the South.
By the way, I think Vermont is lovely even if you didn't invite me to be a part of the community.
