Is there anywhere that I can look for the states etc where you all live, You often use initials and while I can work some out the others are just impossible.. I have tried using a general atlas but it is not specific enough, and I think some of you are talking about somewhere within a state. I realise I may be asking for the impossible. I like to imagine where you live and the photos of your homes/gardens are terrific. Thank you Gwen

ha,ha,ha. i live here and should look at that list. when i was in School, we learned to abbreviate the States with three initials. sometimes trying to remember which state is ME or MA drives me nuts. So don't feel alone.

I mix the M states sometimes and have to correct myself. And I'm a grandma, should know them by now!

They can get pretty confusing. I am always asking my kids what state is this?

I am in the state of Oregon (OR) which is in the upper left corner of the United States. It is between Washington and California. :)
