| Is that North Carolina or No'th Ca'lina? :) I've lived there twice, once in High Point and once in Marion. |

Hi Glenn and Grant! It's North Caaaroliiina with an elongated and flat i sound that I have not idea how to spell phonetically! We North Carolinians love our vowels too much to let them go! I have known a few people from No'th Ca'lina though!
Be careful Cathy! I just might do it! Have you been to Asheville? |

Denise, how do YOU pronounce North Carolina?
Cathy, Yay OBX! And I'll give you a notice before I show up! |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| huh, Cathy? Can you translate that into Southern for me? |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |

|
| Ah, in OBX? The Avon threw me. I was picturing coming to your house as the Avon lady! |

Do you get to come down often? You know, as odd as it sounds, I am almost as close to your Maryland home as I am to the NC OBX! |
|

|
|
| Ah, Voice! You're here! I lured you in with question I! You may certainly have all the peas! |

Wait, Kathy, if you visit DC you will visit Calvary Community Church, then come to the Mike n Laura house for some "grub" after church. Right? Don't stand us up!!
I would love to visit Cape Cod! |

| Hi Kathy! Hey, my wife is flying into Asheville on Thursday and driving to somewhere just across the South Carolina line (do you say South Carolina with the same looooooog vowels?) where she is spending the weekend with some college buds. |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| Mike, the next time I head to DC, I will definitely try to get together with all you CCC folks! And Cape Cod is so beautiful you almost forget how expensive it is! |

|
| I'll take a couple hours off and tour the Smithsonian with you... |
|
|

|

Cool, Voice! Sword will be about 2 hours from my house, if not closer. Tell her she can drop in! I have never flown from Asheville, but Asheville is beautiful! |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| that's got to be the funniest carrot I've ever seen.... |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
The Smithsonian could take more than a couple of hours! What a place! |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| lol, restore! What Mike said! |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |

Love the carrot!!
...Smithsonian...yeah, could take a week, but a couple hour dose every now and then makes it a lot of fun....'course, I can do that whenever the mood strikes... |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| I haven't been to DC since the Spring of 2004, and I didn't get to any of the Smithsonian that time. Did the Holocaust museum and lots of great eating - Thai, Italian, French . . .! Are there any bad restaurants in DC? |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| Yeah...there is a greasy spoon I can take you to on Wilson Blvd where the waitress yells at you when you walk in, is rude to you the whole time you are there, and the food is ho hum. However, it is an experience you won't forget...but then again. why go in the first place? |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
| She would scare me, Voice, but probably not more than the Southern waitresses that call everybody honey and sweetie! |
|
|
| October 12, 2007 |
 |
|
|
But the southern girls get great tips when they call me that...I'm easy... |

| Hi Kathy! Good to get to know you a little more. So you like the long vowels, eh? I remember when I first was in Texas (going to LeTourneau College) my name had 3 syllables. ;) |
|
|

|
|
| Brent, the truth is I have tried to lose the drawl, and the locals often think I'm a "transplant", but when I travel North or West, I am reminded that you can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl! :) |

Oooo I read OBX.... I lived there!!! B-eautiful!!! Everything closes in the Winter and it feels like a ghost town but it's still OH SO B-eautiful!!!
Boonville, where is that? I lived in Boone, NC as a child. Luv'd it but I remember the winter,,, burrrrr!!! Once my sister was getting off the school bus and we lived down a hill (Boone Church of God parsonage) and there was ice and snow all over the ground. Just as soon as my sister stepped off the bus she slid all the way to our single wide trailer!!!
Bath, NC --- Now that's a quiet little pennesula, out at the inner coast water way and it is b-eautiful!!! |

|
| Aw, Kathy - You got me to do it! |
|

KdtW, yes, the OBX is great! Boonville is always being confused with Boone, for good reason, because Boonville is a one stoplight town! In Yadkin County near Elkin and Yadkinville. In the foothills (at the foot of the mountains). I haven't been to Bath since I was a child, but I know from pictures that it's quite beautiful and historic!
Bestemor, Yay! You and Voice have posted. Now where are Elmer and mstovall?! 2 down, 2 to go!
Pastor Tim, my church planting experience was just a 10-week praxis when I was in seminary, and it was quite preliminary, more of an exploration to consider a church plant, than an actual start. It was a busy ten weeks, with Bible Studies, Backyard Bible Clubs, neighborhood socials, meetings with area churches, etc., but as far as I know they never started a church. I have done a few other similar assignments that were not specifically for planting a church, but for missions, like serving as a summer missionary to Hispanics, who did eventually build their own church. I admire what you are doing! Church planting is hard work! |

| Is that carrot dancing the Bat Man? |
|
|
| October 15, 2007 |
 |
|

Jess, YOU are the resident dance expert. I can tell the carrot is dancing, but I'm not cool enough to know anything about the Bat Man! Ah, to be so cool! I'm still working on the Chicken Polka! :)

|
| Kathy, I heard you do a mean chicken polka. That's northern talk for "mighty fine." |
|

|

Wow, Cathy! What a house!!! There's enough room there for everyone on this blog to go! lol Darlene. We Southerners are not as experienced with chicken dances, (we usually fry our chickens), but it's amazing what one can learn from Lawrence Welk reruns! du-du-du-du-du-du-du du-du-du-du-du-du-du . . . I hope this tune doesn't get stuck in my head for the night!
