I was born right here in Cordele, Ga. 97 miles from the Fl. Line. My dad is a minister and we moved to Ar. In the Ms. River delta area, where I grew up, then up near the Mo. Line. We've also lived in S. E. Mo., then Kansas City. My hubby is a union electrician and we've lived in Tn., St. Louis, and KC, even Il. A short time. We moved back here about 6 yrs. Ago. My parents and younger brother and son had already moved back. Then my younger sister came & about a yr. Ago, my daughter and the grandsons. My heart is still in Ar. And Mo. I love the changing of the seasons. It's still hot here! I hate the gators in the river & lake too. I love being near most of my family, though. ---------- This message is from a Virgin Mobile customer.

Mildred, I have long ago decided I don't want to move. I shop a lot at a little store called "Save A Lot" they don't carry name brand stuff. but you could get canned corn, peas, etc. for $8.00 a 24 can case. But have noticed the last times they have gone up at least .50 or more on their items. So don't shop there any more except maybe specials. With my canning don't need their can stuff anymore. I sure feel sorry for those poor souls that depend on the stores for every bite they eat.

Dot Jo. I can't believe that you have a Save A Lot back there, but should have figgured, since I think their home base is in Mo. I shop there a lot also, Save A Lot on most items.
