We did not lock out door until I was a teenager. It was a great place to grow up.

My main home is in Blacksburg VA...people think of folks from the western part of VA as hill billies. As always your pictures make me laugh. I'm also hearing an unspoken message in there...I'm sure you will reveal it to your fans out here in the ether. stay warm. kpUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145025944144370647noreply@blogger.com
