I like Kentucky's the best. lol
or West Virginia
That is a good one Hal! I'm in Michigan though and that one really made me laugh!
California is my favorite...LOL..more plastic than a Honda.
Yup Minnesota, 10 bajillion skeeters.
So big, they landing lights...
BIG skeeters.
they need landing lights. I think I need more coffee.
nah. It happens on Fridays
LOL, I can't even spell with spell check.
I have to laugh at Kentucky's motto! LOL!!!
When you get into genealogy in our state, you sure do run into the same people all the time... We're all related, somehow, or lived next door to each other, or went to the same school together, etc.! I've lived here all my life, as did my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, great-great-great grandparents, and then we have the4 greats grandparents that came here from other parts. Yeah, if you dig deep enough, we're all related to one another somehow...
IOWA - WE DO AMAZING THINGS WITH CORN.
...especially when we clear the crops and build a baseball field.
What I meant was....
"If you build it, he will come."
Dueling Banjo's anyone....
LOL!!!
It's funny how many names we have related to the family-- usually by marriage. And even odder to have so many counties named after distant family members... I'd like to do the DNA testing just to see some things!
Vast family, true. But knowing them is something else! When we have a family reunion of those that have kept up with one another, we all fit into one large booth at McDonald's. Exploring those family relationships is the fun part!
I recently found that I was related to Zachary Taylor, not by the Taylor side of the family, but his mother, Sarah Hutchison, was the sister of my 4 greats grandpa, who lived in Virginia. Makes the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery more interesting, at that! LOL! What a hoot!
I love that movie-- and cry most of the way through it... It's a great movie if you need a good cry!
Also, I believe that those living in Cairo, IL object to it being called Ci ro. They pronounce it Karo.
Ah yes, Oklahoma, the home of Merle Haggard (spiritually, of course, he never actually lived there).
That makes two of us.
