Tombo - Maybe you should add the city after the names like
wrmcclellan - Dallas, TX
Duda - Austin, TX
...etc.
Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

From the last count that Buckeye and I had, we have about 18 forum member that check in from time to time from our great state. So we decided to do a roll call to see how many we have. [8D]

The following brings a tear to mine eyes! [:D]

Beautiful Ohio



I sailed away;
Wandered afar;
Crossed the mighty restless sea;
Looked for where I ought to be.
Cities so grand, mountains above,
Led to this land I love.

Chorus

Beautiful Ohio, where the golden grain
Dwarf the lovely flowers in the summer rain.
Cities rising high, silhouette the sky.
Freedom is supreme in this majestic land;
Mighty factories seem to hum in tune, so grand.
Beautiful Ohio, thy wonders are in view,
Land where my dreams all come true!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Chorus as written by Ballard MacDonald

Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream
While above the Heavens in their glory gleam
And the stars on high
Twinkle in the sky
Seeming in a paradise of love divine
Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine
Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see
Visions of what used to be.

South might have better weather, but this time of year is football weather and the best is played outside, UP NORTH [8D].

Sons of the Confederacy. Want to know the War history of the first person in the Eagles family I am named after? Want to see my Rebel sabre from my Dad's Mom's Dad*? Want to see the letters from my Mom's Mom's Dad [a Daws, now Dawes, he was stationed on the Outer Banks to hold the Yanks back]?

*Interesting story: My Grandmother on my Dad's side. Her Dad [a Davis] was badly wounded by some Yank in some battle. A fellow soldier picked him up and carried him to a field hospital. Thus helping to save his life. Later after the war my Grandmom's Dad went to thank the fellow. Met the fellow's sister and she became my Grandmom's mother.

Nothing but GRAY in these veins. [:D]

In fact, NC gave more men to fight for the Confederacy than any other state. Where was the last Army of the Confederacy surrendered? Not Appomattox. Benton's Farm House between Raleigh and Durham NC. Now talk about NC.

Some of us have never surrendered. [;)]

Doesn't any one else find it ironic that the person from North Carolina claims to be a southerner?

I think it's time for a Forum Convention. The only problem is where to have it. Some will want it in Ohio and someone else will want it in North Carolina. There must be a neutral state somewhere! Or maybe there is a hotel that is ON the M-D line.

Watching the weather this evening, even the jet stream is siding with us Rebs, its blowing straight west to east keeping that cold air where it belongs, up north and letting some nice warm gulf air move into Dixie.

Ah, Ohio.

The last time I was in Ohio I tried to order iced tea (didn't even ask for sweet!).

I was informed that "it was out of season."

Sweet home, Alabama!

Just think - it only takes a hand full of us Rebs to keep all those yanks at bay. Other than the Chief, we sit in reserve reloading ammo, sipping sweet tea (sometimes with a little J.D. added) and grinding grits to send north while he does a great job of fending off all you yanks.[C):-)]
