Be assured I won't tell anyone else either! I'll have to put Ste. G. on our next trip to Missouri....kind of a short visit later this week.

We're American Indians

We're Spanish settlers
We're George Washington Carver & Marlin Perkins
We're Chuck Berry & Samuel Langhorne Clemens

We're the Gateway to the West
We're Jesse James' hideout
We're Ha Ha Tonka State Park
We're the elegant Fox Theater
We're Silver Dollar City
We're Gates Barbeque and the City of Fountains

We're the Onondaga Caves
We're Lake of the Ozarks
We're Augusta wineries
We're Central Missouri corn fields
We're the Mighty Mississippi, the Missouri and 84 others, large and small

We are the heartland.

Now this is a diversity worth celebrating. Thus our planned move back to America!

We are both pushing the H... out of 70 now and when we go back for a short vacation it's like we had never left. During the last 50 some years we have lived on the West Coast and while my immediate neighbors are loved like family I have never felt the closeness as in MO.

I was born and grew up in rural Mo., and was always surrounded by friendly people. We moved to the St. Louis area for several years, and I hated it. The people are completely different, very cold. My neighbors never even spoke to me. I insisted on returning to my rural Mo. home town, and I have been happy ever since. My neighbors are very friendly and caring. If I ever needed help with anything, they would be there for me. When I go to the doctor's office, everyone in the waiting room chats with one another. Many of the girls I went to school and church with are so happy to see me return. I had a boss one time that told me 'you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl.' He was describing me.

What I love about Missouri? In a nutshell...it's home! Some specific things...my family is here; the whip-poor-wills; the lightning bugs (sorry, can't bring myself to call them fireflies LOL); daffodils and irises in the spring; the greenness, the hills, the trees; waving (or nodding) to passers-by; the Northern Cardinals, bluebirds, goldfinches and all the other birds in my backyard; dark skies for stargazing...and too much else to mention! Missouri is home!

Cool Friendly. Yep.

I love working with people from other areas, especially big cities...it helps me (after all these years!) to see the Ozarks through their eyes. My newest transplants remarked about how friendly everyone is; the kid at the Subway counter, the guy holding the door at the dry cleaners, the couple at the next gas pump.

Just got home from a month in Mo. Spent the time with friends, relatives, fishing and driving back roads. So I have a few additions to make on the list; Yellow grasshoppers, False Indigo, red-tail hawks overhead, (buzzards, too), the smell of the gravel roads, minnows in the creek, owls calling the in night, and the silver strike of a bass.
