Also in the part of the south I moved to. Got to share this story...
I was raised in Arizona where, in our house, it was breakfast, lunch and
dinner (except for Sunday afternoon Supper). I moved to Georgia when I had
just gotten married. The husband was away and my Mother-in-Law called and
invited me to Dinner. I asked if I could bring anything. She said sure -
stop by and pick up some rolls.
Well, you should have been there when I arrived at about 5:30 and learned
that "dinner" had been at noon (and I misseed it) and I had just arrived in
time for Supper - which they were going out for. :-( The new MIL was not
to please with me for a while, but we all got over it. From then on, I find
out the EXACT time I should be somewhere and never take it for granted that
we are on the same sheet of music.
I also learned new ways of telling time as in: dawn (5:00), early morning
(7:00), late morning (9:00), noon (12:00), afternoon (2:00), mid-day (3:00),
later afternoon (5:00), early evening (6:00), dusk (7:00) evening (after
dusk), night (during dark). Just give me a clock - period or not!!!

pioneer days, the main meal at midday was called Dinner, the lighter
meal in the evening was Supper. I remember being mighty confused at the
Little House books until my mother explained this to me. >>
