So Where are you from?

I started out in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and have lived all over the country and for a short time in Germany. It's not likely that I'll move again, at least I hope I won't! Starting over is tiring to say the least:rolleyes:

So you be one of da Yoopers, eh? I'm a Troll (for all you non-native speakers a troll is someone that lives under da Big Mac Bridge) born in Saginaw and moved to the Grand Rapids area for work about 25 years ago. I put a Yooper joke in the humor section, no offense intended.:)

Our latest claim to fame is being voted Beer City, USA , and that is real beer, like the rest of the world drinks, not the Horse P they brew across the lake in Milwaukee.
 
Aw, nojmit, I'm so sorry to hear that you're a Troll but won't hold that against you. After all, it's merely an accident of birth. For the record, though, I could never quite understand why Trolls would choose to STAY Trolls and live under a bridge! Yup. I'm a Yooper through and through. You can take the Yooper out of the UP, but you can't take the UP out of a Yooper. And BTW, it's not Yoopers who talk funny, it's everybody else!:)
 

Well, my question really got you excited.

Now we know where each other lives and
you have put up some lovely pictures even
the descriptions without any image paints
a picture.

I won't put a picture of where I live as it
is just another inner city.

Thank you all for the replies.

Mike.
 
I was born and raised in the Deep South, but I'm pretty wary of being too specific about my location. I lived on the east central coast of Florida for almost 30 years before moving back to my roots (and extended family) a few years ago. My goal is to retire in Florida near my sons and their families.

Hey, someone's beaten me to painting the 'Little Beach' at RR ! They did a better job of it than I would have even though the color's not quite red enough,

butbutbut... Where'd you find that? :cool:

Here's the rest of the real thing looking in opposite direction from the painting. It's a little beach in the river mouth and the gem of the coast. It's not the main beach. It's a few miles up the coast from me, at the far end of 'my' beach which is almost identical with Jillaroos so don't need to find a photo of it.






Hate crowds on beaches?? Imagine a 6 mile long beach where the dog and I are often the only ones on it. Bliss I tell yas, utter bliss. :D:cool:
Just to rub it in... that beach in the background of the picture above is 12 miles long, continuous right up to that dot on the horizon, and is part of a National Park so other than the hardiest of fishermen and campers who brave a 20km dirt track or crossing the river and doing a long walk, there's seldom anyone ever on it at all. When I was young I used to wade/swim across the river to it but I'm way past trying that now.

This one below is the other side of the headland in the painting, their main beach, which is the far northern end of 'my' beach.


Any of you old surfers crying yet??

Thanks for the welcome Jillaroo and SeaSparkle.

Great pictures Gdad, especially the second one, I've never been to your country, but would love see it some day.
 
I live in New Zealand on the East Coast of the North Island, the first place in the World to see the start of a new day. We have great safe beaches, Wineries, Vineyards, Orchards, etc.etc. Still plenty of wide open spaces. A great place to live.
 
I've lived in Texas all my days except for the past two years. I am now in Norman, Oklahoma, which is town of about 100,000. we are part of the Oklahoma City Metroplex of I,000,000. I live on a non-descrpt street and wouldn't recognize a beach if I saw one; I'd think it a marage. Norman is a university town and sports is a big deal in Norman and in Oklahoma. My son and daughter in law and two grand kids live here and is the reason for my being in Norman. I played golf until I couldn't. Now,most of my activities are on line. Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my pictures, documents. And all my music( iTunes). I'm using an iPad which is still new to me.
