I'm staying put for a while. This is where I have lived for the longest. Hubby and his dad have a gun shop the size of a small Wal-Mart. Guess I got to stay here for retirement. LOL

I was born in Arkansas

Guns have always been cool to me, I went hunting with my Dad on King Mountain in Alaska and that is where I met my fate. I found out that I was a weenie and couldn't shoot anything but beer cans. Nothing more, nothing less. And I had always thought I was tough! Hee hee. Retirement? You are just starting a great career, how could you even think about that YOUNG lady??

Oh Start, I LOVE you!! LMAO

Hubby's backside!! MASTER GUNSMITH!!

Born Nashville TN
Raised in Long Island though did stints in Iowa and Florida
Lets see, Philadelphia: Providence, RI:
And back to the south , Western Kentucky.





Grace and Peace

Hey! You looking at my hubby's backside!?

He HATES that pic, but that's what is on his website for now. LOL

Inthebox, RI, wow one place I will surely love to see before I die. That is for certain. Nice to know you and a little about you! Hugs, Start

Awsome... tell him I picked up a bright orange 1970's NRA hat (garage sale) and wear it just to piss off the downtownies in Eugene! LOL
EDIT:::: You posted so I looked... sorry.

LMAO!! I bet you look good in hunter orange!!

Thanks start

Providence was okay - Newport is great though, and Vermont is only several hours away.

Alaska, one of these days...




Grace and Peace

Of course, you wouldn't know it but I do. Orange is a wonderful underestimated color!
Inthebox, I hope you make it there one day, a trip of a life time, consult with J_9, Captain Rich or I to tell you what to do and where to go...

I was born and raised in Davenport, IA. I have now lived for 17 years in Rock Island, IL. I own my home there.

Just a thought, and not a criticism of anyone else, but I would like to add that one of the sayings that I have liked for most of my life is: "Why go to where the grass is greener? Why not make it greener where you are?" It doesn't matter really where you live, but what you make of it.

I love where I live because I have worked to make it the kind of place where I love to live.

Clough you awesome person!
That's a very good point!
Why go away to find a better place, when you can make the place your already in a better place, so then there are more better places, and eventually, there will be no need to go to a better place, because all places will be awesome!
We recently planted trees as a youth church, but I never realised that by doing so, we are making our area a better place to live in :)

Hey, thanks cal823! I think that you are awesome too! Just to add a little to what I said without editing it - that saying has helped me for not just concerning where I live, but also in the things that I do. Like, the groups in which I have chosen to be involved.

Sometimes people can get fed up with things in whatever group in which they are involved and choose to "take their football and play somewhere else." When in fact, they could be working to make the playing field on which they are on a better place to play.

We all know the kinds of people that do that.

You are so right Clough. Life is what you make of it, no matter where you are! I call Alaska my true love but my home is where my heart is. Alaska has built a foundation for me, I will never forget that. But, Oregon is where my home is because I am here, with my family, I wouldn't rather it be Alaska. Hugs, Start

That's a good point, Clough. Be content were ever you are.
I've felt that way, everwhere I've been. Life has led me to a lot of places. And, I've found the beauty in all of them. But even to this day, when someone finds out I'm from Alaska, and goes, "OH, WOW!" I just can't help but tell them all they'll listen to!

Wow I can't believe I just stumbled upon this thread...

Born in Louisville, KY
Raised in Louisville, KY
Live there now... dont plan on leaving. I love it here. Beautiful city. And I can get just about anywhere on the East coast upper north or lower south in a day or less...

Would love to go out west one day though, but I could never live anywhere but here, except maybe tuscany, or florence, or venice... lol...

Born and raised in McGehee, Arkansas.

Married a sailor at age 19 and have been in southeastern Virginia ever since.

VA is where I consider home now, it is where my children were born. A beautiful state, rich in history and has every kind of outdoor recreation you can imagine.

Good to hear it Al, Kentucky it is!! I hope you get to go to the west coast! Thanks for sharing.

Wondergirl, We are practically neighbors. I have lived in Illinois my hole life.
About 20 min away from chicago.
Its nice because its not to far to visit but far enough to be away from all the busy hussle and bussle of the city. I live in a suburb called Steger, its nice but it has changed a lot in the past few years, for the worse.
