Hi there Lorraine. My son Campbell is being seconded to your part of the world for four months from January. I think he is going to find it mighty cold.

Dale, That means he won't be far from where I live either

He's not going until after I leave is he? I don't want to miss out on a second with my Southern Family!

[Half_Baked]

I thought I was your Southern family....oh, you mean Southern Hemisphere family.

[Bizymomma]

HB, I bet our accents are close!!! LOL

[Half_Baked]

I just told BJ that my family calls me JANice Kaaaaay. Yep, I bet we sound about the same.

[Bizymomma]

LOL...are you from there? I'm an Arki native!

I moved down here from Annapolis but my parents were from GA, TN and all the other relatives, too. I was called a 'Pilgrim' since I lived so far north. Only my family would think of MD as north.

My aunt lives in Wash. DC, my oldest daughter is going to college in Dubuque, IA! Guess she'll "be from the north" eventually. LOL

All of my family was from Missouri and Texas. We moved up to Oregon about 55 years ago, so I guess that makes me an Oregonian...since I get irritated when people say "Ore-gon" instead of "Ore-gun."
