CONGRATULATIONS TO SPLUMMER> YOU WON THE DRAWING!
Since I will not be here for a couple days, I will go ahead and post today. If you are still reading this then you know that tomorrow is my day to give away a prize.
What are you? Do you like living in the city or the country? If you will look to the right of this post, you will see a poll. You must vote and you must also leave a comment here. Sorry, only BBC'ers are allowed to receive the prize.
I love the country. I was raised in the country and I will always live in the country. There is just something about sitting on the front porch with a good book and a cold glass of lemonade. Listening to the night life (ie, frogs, katydids, crickets, etc....my type of racket) I tried living in the city but I could not sleep due to the urban noise.
Ah, to feel the warm dirt between my toes after a freshly broke garden is soothing. And the harvest, who can resist fresh purple hull peas, corn on the cob, fried okra/squash, a piping hot slice of cornbread and big ole' plump juicy tomatoe on the side. Now that is my type of country cooking!!!
What is your reasoning for liking where you live? Please leave comments. Thanks

Did you ever give up on something andlearned a lesson?What did you learn?
I did not go out on a first date till I was 18. I never got to do the things a 'normal' teenager does. I was mentally and physically abused growing up. My life consisted of school, cleaning and church. So, when I got out on my own at 20 I went hog-wild!! I thought I could find love by giving a guy whatever he wanted (if you know what I mean). I gave up myself looking for myself. I had my first child at 21. I love him but I learned I had to love myself before anyone else would.
I am working on a layout intitled "I want to know what love is" in dedication to my son. The lyrics remind me so much of my childhood and past. I did find someone to love me and that was my son. {PHOTO ABOVE}

Write about a funny story.
Title-DID I SHAVE MY LEGS FOR THIS!
My son can be so goofy. A few years ago, we went camping and he wanted to sit the tent up in a low-laying spot. I told him that it was a wash out area, "Look how the leaves are piled up on either side!" He insisted that this was the perfect spot. (I think he was trying to impress his girlfriend)
Dreading the impending forcast, I let him have his way all the while telling him if our sleeping gear got wet, he was going to find a laundry mat and dry them.
The tent goes up and would you know it. Here comes a summer thunderstorm. It's raining buckets!!! My daughter and myself take cover in the car. Not my son....NO...he is the he-man. He is going to save the day and prove our tent will not flood.
After about an hour of sitting in the car twilding our thumbs, the moonsoon lets up and the sun comes out. We squish to the tent, pull back the flap and YES, a homemade water bed. Every item of clothing, sleeping bag and blankets are soaked.
Hang on, it gets better. We stuff all our wet items in the trunk and race off to find a laundry mat so we will have a dry bed. We drive out of the state park and to the nearest town about 20 long miles away. NO laundry mat in site. Son comes up with a new plan,"Let's just stop off at this hotel/motel and use their dryer!" Bright idea for once, son! He goes in to the desk manager and asks where the dryers are. In broken English the clerk states, "Tha air dryers re in tha room, lad." "Clothes dryer, man, clothes dryer!" son shouts. "No, we ave no clothes dryer, lad!!!" {Way to go son, piss him off!}
We drive another 10 miles or so...NOPE!!! Not a laundry mat to be seen. There is a McDonalds, halleiugh....supper is served.
Back to the state park we go, dreading a sleepless night in the car. We stop at the manager's office and ask him would he know where the nearest laundry mat is in town. "Why sure, it is right behind you in the check in building!" Talk about duh!!! {slapping forehead}
We dry our sleeping bags and covers. Smarty pants (son) decides he is going to wash his clothes he has on. "Goof ball, you don't have any dry clothes to put back on." I laugh. "Sure I do." he grins. He grabs my one piece bathing suit and dashes to the bathroom. Being a scrapper, I am never without my camera so I take a few photos. Even have the LO to prove it.
Finally, clean clothes and dry covers, we drive back to our floating tent and move it to higher ground. Make our beds, fall asleep with visions of soggy toast and runny jelly for breakfast.
