My oldest daughter (nearly 20) has a tee shirt that says "Jersey girls don't pump gas." Cracks me up!

~Shrimp boats are almost as common as cars
~The Fountain of Youth, Ripley's Museum and the Castillo de San Marcos are popular attractions.
~The drive thru bar where I purchased my first cocktail is still open. You literally can drive thru, order a cocktail, then drive across the street to the beach.
~Seeing a gator cross the street is no big deal

Braums Ice Cream reigns supreme

Ugh I need to visit home soon, I miss Braums and I need to do a graveside talk with my grandparents.

We have an "old timey day" kinda thing that will be happening next weekend. (There's also one in the spring.) I guarantee that there will be butter churning, soap making, quilting and many other various "old timey" things going on. And that most all of the folks will be dressed in period costumes...

How funny. Our Old Timers Day is this weekend. Wonder if it's like in September all over the country? Or just the south? hmmmm

Hmmm... I don't know...

Here's something that my county's website says:
"As you drive the back roads of Yancey County, you will find such quaint names as Bee Log, Hardscrabble, Pig Pen, Possum Trot and Rabbit Hop. Old mountain ways mingle with the new. We are firmly rooted in the past and growing toward the future. A great way of life and a wonderful place to live."

HA! This sounds like our lil spot in the road all the time!

If not for a trip to Nashville this weekend, I would likely be starting a denim quilt that has been on the to-do list for quite some time.

I used to love ole timey days! Sounds like you will have fun.
