The Twist from a Twisted Sister!

Growing up in a small town named..... Ottawa you'd get tired of explaining you don't have a Canadian accent because I don't live in Canada. It's Ohio Stupid! So when we moved to Serenity I expected more of the same but not an eye was batted. So I cracked up when I saw this article about the 5 funniest town names in the US. Here they are:5. Two Egg, Florida4.  Intercourse, Pennsylvania3.  Humptulips, Washington2.  Hell, Michigan1.  Boogertown, North CarolinaYou can read how these towns earned their name by clicking HERE.

I was a huge Lucile Ball fan. As a child I had this darling red and white polka dot dress I called my Lucy Dress. I would have worn it every day if Mom would have let me. Every outing started with, "You can wear anything BUT the Lucy Dress."

So I thought you would find this Civil War factotum of interest.Recently archeologists found bottles of hair dye in and around an old Kentucky building that use to be a photo studio for Civil War Soldiers to get their photo taken before going off to battle.  Thus wanting to put their best visage forward! Sad in a way but so very touching! Don't...
