Gee Hawing and Pretzel

       There is an expression some of use  in the South..."gee hawing".  I used it  with my sister-in-law from Rhode Island.....yup, a true NORTHERNER.  She finally bought a book on Southern expressions and not only finds it entertaining but a necessity to keep close at hand to understand what we are saying....kinda like a English-Southern dictionary...haha    Gee Hawing means "you're not in agreement or not on the "same page"or everyone is going in a different direction when there's a group discussion."  My sister-in-law is the vice-president of a big company that deals with the military in a big way.  Anyway, one day with the President of the company, another vice-president, and a few Colonels, she was giving her big spill and speech and heading a big discussion.  Before she realizes what she is doing, she interrupts the very noisy group and informs them they are not "gee-hawing" and wants the group to "come to order". They quickly stop all conversation and turn to her as she realizes her "slip of the tongue".  She quickly informs the men that she is married to a Southern Gentleman and with that came his family and her exposure.  The men got a few laughs out of it to her embarrassment.  It's very hard for a woman at times to carry a big title, large responsibilities, deal with the military on a regular basis and be taken seriously, so her words must be chosen carefully.  Those weren't the words she would had ordinary chosen for that day. Gee hawing is a term used in plowing while using a mule...gee to the left and haw to the right.  Watch old cowboy movies too and see them herding cattle using the same term.  End of Story!!

(I'm sending this to my sister-in-law, but making a few others with a "different sentiment" of OWH)

When cutting, I would not use the salt dots, but rather apply liquid pearls or while ink to represent salt.  I plan to make a shape card out of it with a cute sentiment and also use the image on background paper.
