My Dh worked with a young woman from Thailand. Every time she went back to her homeland, she brought me something. This fan is on the wall above the headboard of our bed. And this string mobile of turtles hangs in the window above the kitchen sink. Turtles are a symbol of good luck in Thailand.

Personally, if I don't know where somewhere is I look it up, rather than proudly broadcasting my geographical failings. If one never sees these place names how is one going to learn? Same with anything I read here and don't follow. It's more educational for me and I can Google faster than I can type out a question which requires someone else to put in the effort to answer. btw - don't you get Poldark in the US? Also a lot of Cornish miners went to California in the Gold Rush. I'm pretty sure people living near the Empire Mine, Grass Valley know where Cornwall is. They still serve pasties there. There are people with Cornish ancestry all over the US.

Was it your post about your state's pros & cons? Because I'm seeing that. Usually, you just need to start typing the name of the forum in the box for it to show up. I find this one by typing 'kitchen' - there are only 2 forums with that word in the title, I think.

Since we are getting snow today, I am posting this picture of Fred from 2010. That boy loved snow. Heck, he loved everything and everybody. I miss him every day.
