Hello ya'll!

I'm going to be away from Hatrack for about a week. Going to my family farm in Hicksville (real name) Ohio, Defiance County.

It's fair week! Woo hoo! Animals and tractors and bands oh my!

Take care all.
Hugs and kisses.

Hicksville in Defiance County.

Wow. [Big Grin]

Have fun, though, for real!

Where is that? I'm in Ohio...

Yup! The two Hicks brothers came over and founded two towns... that one in NY and the one I'm going to right now.
I often wonder if the term "hick" came from that little farming town by New York City.

It's in the upper north west corner of the State.

Ooooops... sorry Botalady. [Frown]

Didn't get your post in time.
You me and Noeman need to hang next time I'm down that way. Peace.

I'm in the Dayton area, myself, so quite a way from where you were. Still, next time you're in the state let me know.

My cousin is in Dayton college.. or is that university?

Anyway... Dayton isn't that far.. just like 2 hours or something from Detroit.
