Oh my gosh I'm moving to Arkansas!!
Comments (31)Welcome to Arkansas- don't worry about the snakes and such- you'll get used to them- We moved to North Central Ark about 12 years ago from Wisconsin and have never regretted it- Be prepared to wave a lot when out driving- for some reason everyone waves at every one else- and don't ever think that you can just "run" in the store to pick up something quick- people here like to talk- a LOT. I have been known to spend over an hour getting a loaf of bread!!! It's nice though- if you ever find yourself stranded on the road people will stop to help no matter what the weather! We live outside the very small town of Salem and it took our 2 older children some time to fit in with the locals but when they did they found friends for life- our 2 youngest were born here and I wouldn't raise them anywhere else- If you have ever heard jeff Foxworthy talk about rednecks you know what its like here!!! ( most of what he says is true) As far as the bugs and such- no different from anywhere else, Jonesboro does have a lot of mosquitoes though because of the rice fields. We get copperhead snakes once in a while- usually when they are out sunning themselves- they are not aggressive so if you leave them a lone they will leave you alone- we get a lot of black snakes too- they are good but they can get big so they seem scary- the biggest one we had here was about 7 feet long. We also have a lot of Armadillos that like to dig holes so watch for them- we generally just chase them off because we're not sure how to kill them. Where we live though our biggest pest is the squirrel- we have hundreds of them and they will eat anything- one year they dug up over 100 tulip bulbs that I had just planted- That is about all I can think of- the people here are great- none better anywhere. I hope you enjoy the area as much as we do. God Bless...See MoreOh-my-gosh...What I Know About Germans

Comments (16)Okay...the rest of the story... When I stirred it up I was stirring up a double batch... I then poured it into two 9x13 pans... I must have gotten more of the pumpkin mix into one of the pans than the other one... Because the one I took to church (that looked delicious) could not be eaten with a plastic fork...NO WAY...you could not stick the fork in it...I was so embarrassed. Denny leaned over to me and said..." How much were the pans?" I'm thinking "HUH?" He said the cake pans..."Maybe we should just grab the lids and run"......LOL... My grandaughter said..." forget it grandma...it won't help...you've got your name written on the pan..they'll still know it was you that made it!!!"......very funny Kacie But the one at home was great...So I'm assuming there wasn't enough moisture in the other pan...I just picked the wrong pan to take to church. There was a lot left over in the other pan of the Apple stuff I made too...I guess the word passed around..."if it says Patti on the pan....don't eat it !!!" Oh well. "S" At least you couldn't taste the chili powder mistake. patti...See More- 6 years ago
