  1. What a neat idea!!! It sounds so fun!! I live in Pembroke, North Carolina & have two children. Abby is 9 & Nathanael is 7. We would just love it if Flat Christy came to visit our house beacuse Abby has informed me that she wants to learn more about the kitchen and how to cook. 🙂

  2. Would love to take Flat Christy to Ruidoso,NM for the week of June 15-22nd. Flat Christy would enjoy fried green chili strips at Casa Blanca! Lots of fun activities planned for Father’s Day! Inn of the Mountain God. Don’t forget Rebecca’s at The Lodge for Monte Christo sandwiches! Yes, it’s all about the food! Come play!!!!

  3. My husband and I are retired and my husband loves that I found Southern Plate. He loves that I am trying new stuff all the time. I would like to invite you to go on vacation with us June 23 for 2 weeks. We are taking a bus trip to Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Glacier National Park, the Canadian Rockies and the Wisconsin Dells. I think flat Christie would love it and she might even get to meet my handsome grandson.

  4. We would live to host Flat Christy in Winston-Salem, NC. She could go on a family hike in the mountains, to the farmer’s market to pick out blackberries as big as walnuts, and maybe even get a ride on a giant mining truck.

  5. we would love to have you in Conway, AR. We can take you to Toad Suck Park and Pickles gap. We can show you the six legged cat that is the Conway High School’s mascot. Lots of things to do!

  6. Flat Christy should come visit me and my 18 y/o son in Port Orange, Florida. We are just South of Daytona Beach, and I know Che’d like to go to the beach and for a girls night out. We could go to the Dog Park with my pup, Sadie, and to church, where I watch the nursery on Sundays. We could go fishing off the Sunglow Pier. We could go to the Green Market on Saturday, and if the timing is right, we might even make it to SeaWorld!
    We’d teach you how to make my Southwestern lasagna. Mmmmm, GOOD!
