Hawkeye---I was the child in West Virginia....chicory was in Ohio.
They are neighboring states, though. Ohio is a pretty big state. There are some parts, however, that look similar to WVa.
We often had kissin' cousins in Ohio....LOL.
West Virginia is surrounded by several states---Penn, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia.
I think that chicory and I probably share a lot of common experiences from childhood, though. I have always noticed that country folk from anywhere seem to share some common features......

p.s There will be a pop quiz next week......
