Happy Easter!

Whew, the walk was harder today. Must have something to do with the 85 degree temp!!

In any case, the fishermen have landed!! Yowza, it was an obstacle course of boat trailers. Which sortof reminded me of this funny my coworker sent me. (Because of #9...and # 2 and #10...and#15...LOL)


1. You can properly pronounce Ooltewah, LaVergne, Etowah and Maryville.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look
for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by
the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.

13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, beer, and bait
all in the same store.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed
Crew Cab is.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your
friends.

And finally:

19. You are 100% Tennessean if you have ever had this conversation: "You
wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper"


I hope everyone has a Great Holiday!!!

I'll be working (or sleeping) but I am used to it. Strangely, it doesn't even bother me anymore. Other than the fact that most Holidays are notoriously busy. And wasn't it a full moon this week? Oy!!!

*giggles* Usually these kinds of memes are state interchangeable, this one certainly isn't!

I hope your Easter weekend is relatively uneventful. Catch you next week for certain!

LOL!!! I thought the last one was quite funny.

It is a currently overcast and 48F here. We had a high of 61F last week. We don't usually get into the high 80's until Late July or August. There is a joke around here that our summer can last up to at least two weeks around here. ; )

That last one IS a hoot and it is the truth. I seem to have taken to using the word "soda" altough I pronounce it "sodey" so I can still fit in around here ;-)

Yes, I did get a good giggle out of that meme!

I got all sunburned yesterday just being at soccer and the playground and the easter egg hunt. I've got to get in the sunscreen frame of mind.

I liked your list too, especially #9 as I am simultaneously researching state parks with nice beaches for the week after school is out. Hee!

Yes, I think it is too bad the pool at Paris Landing doesn't open till Memorial Day weekend. I think they should open the same week school is out..LOL!
