Thanks, Betty-boop! If you think of a place to submit, I suppose I could!

When my house needs a good thorough cleaning, I call my Mom - who sounds a lot like yours. She likes to clean, a trait I missed. I like a clean house, but there's just always so many more things I'd rather do *g* like write poems about clutter!

Donna,

Just noticed you are from OHIO. Anywhere near Warren/Youngstown? I grew up there from the age of 8 - 19.

Just wondering....

Hello. I'm from the Cincinnati area.

Donna (a buckeye - is that a nut? )

Donna,

I've been through Cincinnati several times. Love how green it is by the OHIO RIVER.

Is a Buckeye an nut? Well, Ohio folklore has it that the buckeye nut is considered a good luck charm, relieves pain of arthritis and rheumatism, resembles the eye of the buck deer. I have three that I have taken all over the world with me and they still sit in my jewelry box. I suppose if you are superstitious, you could say they do bring good luck...as I've had lots of fun and adventures in my life.

Do you remember the Buckeye man? They used to take buckeyes, paint faces on them and have little springy legs and arms on them. They would sell them at baazars and in gift shops as Ohio sourvenirs. I haven't seen those in ages. lolol

Hey Betty=B,

Where abouts are you in Utah? It is one of my favorite states and come by as often as I can to see friends.

Frankly, we are hoping for a trip in May. Small reunion of very close friends for over 25 - 30 years.

Oh! This time we will be outside Springville, most of the time we are in Glenwood, south of Richfield, Mohab or Zion area.

Lynn,

I live outside of SALT LAKE CITY in Sandy, Utah. I am from the EAST coast and really miss it. I married a Utahn and we moved here after he got out of the military. Someday, I dream of going east to live. Don't know if it will ever happen as my kids and grandkids all live here and I like being close to help out and see them grow up.

My husband is a truck driver and he is actually coming home in May. We are planning to go to Park City, Utah for a week to 'get away' from it all. I can't wait.

You be-a watchin out fer them thar bears, ya here.???
