Yep, I know exactly where all of that is. I too lived in B'ham for a year. Hated every minute of it. But I love Gadsden. Had my first boyfriend there. I use to go every summer and stay a few weeks with my cousins. Then they (two girls) would come back home with me and my sisters and stay two weeks. Imagine our house with five daughters and two more girl cousins. What a load for Mother! Eeeek!

I sent you a reply to your messag and would love to drop over (about an hour away) and have a cup of joe. Let me know if you think you'll have time. If not, no problem. Would LOVE to meet you!
