Ahh the panhandle...such amazing beauty. I will be off to this GREAT part of Texas next week...two of my sister's kids in tow. Can't wait.
My name is quite simple. It is Jan. However, coming from the Texas Panhandle, I pronounce my name with two syllables. The "correct" way to say my name is Jay-uhn. Thus, when I introduce myself as Jay-uhn, I am often misunderstood. "Jane, Janine?" people ask. "No," I respond, "just Jan."
