    i live in the very beautiful mountains of North Carolina...

    i grew up in the piedmont (Lexington to be exact, on the outskirts of Winston-Salem, cancer capitol of the world.)

    i went off to college in a small town called Cullowhee that is waaaaay in the middle of the mountains an hour at least away from any big city(Asheville NC, an hour away, is where we go if we need a big box store (except for the devil among all box stores, walmart, there is one right here in our tiny college town..)

    That is where we met, bought our house and still live today!

    I was born when my parents went off to college in a small town called Cullowhee. :) I grew up at the foot of the very beautiful mountains of North Carolina in a little community called Green Creek then a couple of years in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. When hubby was in the Air Force we lived in Mississippi, Texas, and England. Now we are back in NC but a county east in a TINY town called Lattimore.

    Born in Sandusky Ohio, Grew up in Milford Michigan from 3rd grade to age 37 then moved to Sharpsburg, Ga. for the last 14 years. I love the weather here in Georgia. I have to admit that my first few summers here I thought the heat would kill me but now I am used to it and I love it.

    Bath, Maine is my home now, but I was born and raised in Dresden, Maine. It's about 20 miles from where I live now and a tiny little "one store town" We had a gas station, a post office, a fire station (ha) and about 3 miles down the road from all of that we had an ice cream store called "Here's the scoop"
    I loved it there because I didn't know any better lol. Now I'm all about vacationing to places like that but I like living in Bath. We live in "suburbia" lol and there is everything I could need here in bath. Grocery store, pharmacy, gas stations, little shops, u name we got it! Except a wal mart..lol but it's not far, about 8 miles form here.

    I am so glad there are more people from Georgia around! I live in the somewhat small town of Ellijay. I have lived in the same square mile all my life but 2 years during the 3rd and 4th grade. My family is all so close, sister is next door, niece across the road and mom down the road, uncle up the hill. We even have the family grave yard close too! See we never leave!
