So would that make Naps from the smarter side of the family by chance?:Scratch-Head:

(Hey, it was just a question. Nothing to get your panties all in a bunch over, Shelley!)

Not much to see where I grew up in Central MS. In the '30-60's it was all cotton fields. In the 70's my dad started raising cattle. BY the 90's my brothers had set all 150 acres out in pine seedlings. In the google map photo it was a forest. Last summer the entire place was clearcut because of beetles in the pines. Not much left of what I remember from childhood. Besides my brother would shoot me... his house shows in the best photo :D

My Childhood hood
 

This is the house I grew up in from age 4 - 14. I really miss that house an plan to buy it back one day. I had my happiest memories of my life there. It is in Woodstock, Il. My house is the one in the center of the picture. We had 3 acres to roam in and mom and dad said "get out and come back at dark" Across the street was a cornfield, beyond that was a huge Catholic church that had a pond we used to swim in all the time. Darn I miss it. I want to be 12 again.

Here's a picture of my house on google earth

(am I pushing it or what today....oh yeah and Twerpy you better run)

:confused: Oh man, which one do I choose?:confused: Like RW, I'd have to post a few maps. Each place that I lived and spent my summers brings back such fun memories.

What's the deal with this? Are we running out of room for links around here???:confused:

Go ahead! Throw caution to he wind! Release the inner child! Surrender to indulgence! Tawanda!!!!!

Pick one or 20 and give it up! You can choose an image from miles in the sky, heck, even I had a hard time finding my old territory, who's going to pay attention to what's there?

Just do it! Carpe the diem! Carp diem (seize the fish)!

My "playground" from 1964 to 1971.


EDIT: AMN, it didn't work. How did you get the image in there?

Copy the image address and paste in the box from the little yellow postcard right up there.

Here's my old stomping ground, Tims Ford Lake, Tennessee. Notice Sleep Hollow to the right? lol Tubing, cookouts and the whole family gathering. It was only once a year but still warms my heart to think about it. See the little white marks? The image caught boats racing along the lake.

:confused: I give up. After trying several times to get it to post and a phone call to Sandy (Sandy it didn't save it to my computer:confused:), I give up. Eventually I will get it but have other things to do right now. LOL
