Moon Pies and Fireflies – two great parts of life in Tennessee.
Moon Pies originated in Tennessee back in the early
nineteen hundreds and were supposed to have been made for the coal miners there
to make their time underground a little more bearable. In the 1950’s Moon Pies paired with RC Cola
as an affordable and filling snack and each year there is a RC Cola and Moon
Pie festival held in June in tiny Bell Buckle, TN – that smiling visitors from
all over the world attend.
On a warm summer night in the state of Tennessee,
fireflies – also known as lightning bugs – are a common sight. These insects light up the sky in rural and
suburban areas for a few seconds at a time with their tiny yellow-green
abdomens. For me they are a nostalgic memory of my childhood in Wisconsin – I
just love them. They are magical and awe
inspiring.
