I used google earth once to see my house. I did, and realized the dogs have worn a path in the yard that can be seen by google earth!
Speaking of google earth, I had this great idea, but its greatness was not shared by my sailor son, out in San Diego. I told him he should take some duct tape and on the top of his car, use it to spell "HI MOM" Noone would see it in the Navy parking lot except me

My mil was raised in a coal mining family in Shrewsbury, it's near Logan county and they were a part of the history there. In fact, their last name was Shrewsbury
When we were coming back from my son's 'graduation' from nuke school, we stopped in Fayetteville, near the New River Gorge bridge. We have a plan to go back to that area on Bridge Day. It's a day they close down the highway, and people jump off a perfectly good bridge!

WVa is a beautiful state.

What a beautiful picture...you are fortunate to have such ready "views"...suburban Chicago does have great forest preserve areas, but nothing like this picture.

Well, I will jump in here and tell you my story. When people ask me I tell them this is a loaded question. I was born in Ft Worth Texas, but was raised in Spain since the age of 2. Went to college in CA, married and my husband and I went to PA for his Masters. He joined the Army and we have been moving ever since. We call Texas our home since we have lived there the most in his army career and my family is there. We are currently living in New Jersey till this summer and then we will move again. We do not know where yet, but I am glad that you guys will be with me where ever I go.

On this board I will get to know people from all over. I was born and raised in a small town nw of Bangor Maine. Married an airman from Dow AFB and moved to Michigan. We retired to Kentucky. I think of Michigan as my home because we have a lot of family there. The Great Lakes are wonderful but don't beat out the coast of Maine. The sounds and smells are so much nicer there. Wish I could take a trip back, it has been years.

I was born in The Dalles, Oregon. I have been an Oregon girl all my life, except the 3 years we spent in Tacoma WA while my husband went to school. I now live in Bend, Oregon. You can't get much better than Central Oregon.
