IOWA

[Sootie]

No no----GOD FORBID!!! Sootie IS NOT going to post a political blog on this site.

However, since I am sure many people's minds are on Iowa as mine has been.....I got to wondering......do we have anyone active in the community from Iowa? I don't hear it a lot. But, have you noticed some States are well represented at times and some less so......for example....I feel we never hear much from the New England contingent.....particularly Vermont and Maine. Why is that? These are the things I ponder.

So-----IS anyone from Iowa and also how about a shout out of where you are located. Sure...we've done this before BUT, we have LOTS of new members and I'm just curious......

 So-- I am Sootie and I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania(the Poconos). But as some know....I ALSO consider myself a Jersey girl!

And you are..................................................?
