I was raised in Oklahoma. Married a soldier who was stationed at Ft. Sill. Lived in Minnesota for 14 years. Now I'm back in Oklahoma, 30 miles from where I grew up.

My wife (nursie76) and I grew up in Williamsport, PA and we live not to far from there. We lived a short while in Clarksville Tenn. but moved back in 1976. We are very fortunate to travel a lot and if we were to pick a state to move to it would be New Mexico. I remember driving in New Mexico and saying to myself "Wow"

Hi-I live in a little rural town of Atwater, Ohio. I have lived here since 12 years old (now approaching 65) how time flies---but I enjoy seeing the other parts of the US---I too have cousins in Brunswick Georgia (Love, love, love the Brunswick Stew) and I have traveled there and to SC and Florida and was very fortunate to get to take a trip out West a couple of years ago.

Want to bounce round England? Might be fun on Google Earth. Born in Walsall, grew up in Wolverhampton, university in Bristol, college in Chester, worked in Liverpool, moved back to Bristol, now live 6 miles outside the city.

QuiltingJaguar - in the 1880s my grandad ran away from Walsall to Scranton and his mother went over to get him back. At least, that's the family legend, and I'm sticking to it.

Now, my husband can tell me where all the towns in WV are at an I know Oklahoma City, Biloxi and Orlando are but where is "Between, Georgia"?

Half way between Monroe and Loganville in Walton County. Also half way between Athens and Atlanta. We are about 25 minutes east of Stone Mtn off of Rt 78. I love posting "Between" because no one knows where it is located.
