I am fiercely loyal. Loyal to my friends, to family, to my roots and heritage. I am proud I come from Texas. I am proud of my Celtic heritage, mixed here and there with French, English and Danish bloodlines. Therefore, when Heather sent me this I could not resist putting it up. Texas may be my Home State, but R******, Idaho is my Hometown.

Yyeesssiirr, this is pretty much Idaho, well Southeast Idaho at any rate. As I read through these, I thought, Only in Idaho, and That's so true. I laughed because my mom was raised on a farm and it's always "crick" with her, whether it's a creek, stream or babbling brook. I keep trying to tell her it's "creek" (long e sound). I had to nod my head at a few of them, especially the girls' basketball games. Though not as well packed as a boys' basketball game, they are still well attended. And yes, I get a lot of these jokes, so I'm passing them on, even though you might not be from Idaho.
