Inafunk:<p>I'm originally from Delaware -- go Fighting Blue Hens! I moved to central Mississippi when I was in the 6th grade. <p>The two most common responses I got when I told kids here I was from Delaware: 1) What state is that in?, and 2) Isn't that the capital of New Jersey?

Jellygirl,<p>Funny, my hubby told me at 1 time OW lived in VA...which is our neighboring state just across the Harry W Nice (Potomac River) Bridge. <p>Come to find out....she lives less than a mile away. Guess they just frequented VA a lot so they would not be recognized.<p>I can't help but cringe every time I hear the VA slogan "VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS".... YUK!!!!!
Guess that slogan rings true huh?

Born in Pennsylvania, but raised in Virginia where my home is. So, Jellygirl, I guess that makes two of us. <p>VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS.... Where's the love at?

Hurtbuthealing and IntheClouds,<p>I've been over the Nice Bridge. The name makes me laugh. [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] Unfortunately the last time I went over it was with the OW who was my best friend. [img]images/icons/mad.gif" border="0[/img] <p>It's really ironic that you mention the Virginia is For Lovers slogan... let's just say I'm closely associated with the people who put it out. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] I so understand your reaction to hearing it.<p>[ May 23, 2002: Message edited by: Jelly Girl ]</p>

LOL, at peace! What the heck is a Blue Hen anyway?! Who ever came up with that one?<p>As far as Delaware goes, same here...someone always asking...isn't that in Florida? Um, NO...it's the FIRST state. I always wonder what school these people attended.

Hey at peace and inafunk. Lots of family ties to Delaware and I can't wait to get back there this summer. My WH thinks I'm nuts to want to vacation in DE when we live in Colorado, but where else am I going to get my fill of blue crabs?

Betrayed Again and getting better,<p>I'm trying not to get too excited here. I was born in San Antonio; Dad was in the Air Force (actually Army Air Corps, WWII). Mom and Dad were married there. Of course, I'm WAY older than you "kids."<p> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Hello family in Bay City, Lufkin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Houston, Victoria, Sweeney, San Antonio, Old Gulf, Matagorda, The Woodlands!!!!!!!<p> <hr></blockquote> Betrayed Again, wow. My ancestors came to Matagorda from England right before the Texas Revolution. Later, they and others built a big hotel in the middle of the Gulf plains and 7 families moved in. The town that grew up there was Bay City. One of the streets in Bay City is named after my grandmother. My grandparents are buried there. I lived in Corpus Christi three different times as a child. My sister was born there. Mom and Dad lived the last twenty years of their lives in Conroe just north of The Woodlands. Small world! I consider myself of South Texas/Gulf Coast girls. Remember the Alamo.<p>Estes
