Everything else trucked on as usual.purplekat99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-41477029557594181782012-10-09T14:56:28.571-04:002012-10-09T14:56:28.571-04:00Fall is here! especially love the photo of the fal...Fall is here! especially love the photo of the fall leaves!

There's a country...well, close is relative :)<br /><br /><br />There's a country song called "Flyover States" that sort of says all this about the middle of the country - I think everyone can find patriotism of a sort in their patch of the country, no matter where it is!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-77242097897218015362012-10-08T16:10:06.974-04:002012-10-08T16:10:06.974-04:00I know exactly what you mean.

It was gorgeous. I would love to move there! I'm jealous that it's so close for you!Whitney McAbeehttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1491150110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-90129722180877505852012-10-08T13:03:16.151-04:002012-10-08T13:03:16.151-04:00I have been doing the Ancestry thing on my husband...I have been doing the Ancestry thing on my husband's side of the family (the American side.) Several of his ancestors came over in the 1600's to both MA and VA; in fact, one of his many times great grandmothers was one of only four women in Jamestown! She had four husbands - obviously they kept dying off and she was obviously compelled to keep marrying and reproducing to keep things going. It is very amazing that any of them survived, - and even more amazing to think of how many descendants they all now have.expatmumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-59720587060795111212012-10-08T10:30:58.759-04:002012-10-08T10:30:58.759-04:00Well put!
