Good morning all!

The conversations between you and stephanie ALWAYS make me laugh...

Thanks Crystal-if you were talking about me ...if not, I'll just go over here and try to pry my foot out of my mouth

OMG... .You're a YANKEE... a fellow New Englander... I knew there was a reason I liked ya right off the bat!!!

I am!! I sensed that connection, that eye to eye connection....where are you from? I'm from the Brewster NY Danbury CT area until we moved down here in 1995..

Well.. I'm an Air Force Brat... and proud of it... My dad retired at Pease AFB in Portsmouth,NH... that's where I went to his school and graduated.. met and married my first husband.. etc... I consider NH my home.. I moved to SC in 2005 ... I was in GA before that for 8 years... I was born in California... hence the "DIPPY BLONDE" that sometimes shines through

And you should be proud of it!! Thank God for men like your father who served, please know he is well appreciated. I wouldn't say "Dippy Blonde"....maybe "Cute but not as knowing in that rare moment Blonde"...hows that??

Steph: Another YANKEE chiming in (Central New Jersey) - But I got here as fast as I could. Colleen

New Jawsey, home of the toll booths...I remember it well

LOL @ the toll booth comment!! I had to ask her "what exit" she was from when she first told me she was from Jersy... (I'm taking that from a SNL skit from the late 70's)

Gosh there are so many tolls aren't there? While living in NY we would go down to Atlantic City sometimes and the road just never ended. Although once you got off the main road-no more tolls "What exit are you from?"...you very very funny woman
