How did you end up in the State you now live in?

I was born in Texas, live in Indiana for two years as a teen and moved back to Texas. If asked I tell them, "Texas born and Texas bred and when I die, I'll be Texas dead!

Mike S, now I know. The Field Problem outside Watertown left me loving the people from Upstate... they are not New Yorkers!
 
The scriptures says it like this, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with my eye (Psalm 32:8 NKJV)." My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27-28 NKJV) :

Okay but that has nothing to do with where or why you live there.

What appears to us as random chance is in fact overseen by a sovereign God who knows the number of hairs on every head (Luke12:7).

And if you are so Heavenly minded that you cannot converse on the natural level, how do you ever suppose you will carry your weight in the Great Commission? Now, it will be polite if you address the OP and if I ignore any more off subject posts.

That's funny because that's exactly what upstaters who live in Florida say. They make it a point to distinguish themselves from the other retirees from New York.

I had the pleasure to visit Woody in the City and the difference is remarkable. Up Staters are just like down home folks.

OK since I know the oral history and recorded history of my county well,yes going to clay county is a return to the way my town was in the early 80s.and before.
 
This is the area of New York State I grew up in, and where my extended family - BIG extended family - still lives. Throughout this red-lined area.

I'm from Michigan. The FIRST time I went to visit my sister in Florida, I fell for Tennessee and Georgia.
I actually told my brother (when I got out of the truck in Dalton, GA for gas), "I'm going to live here someday."

I meant the SOUTH, GA/TN. less than 15 years later, I moved to Griffin, GA (central Georgia between Atlanta and Macon). 11 years later, I stumbled onto the Kenwood job and moved to Cumming, GA - which puts me on the edge of the North Georgia mountains.

Griffin was better than Michigan, but nothing like Cumming. :)
 
I was born in Texas on an Air Force base, but my Mom and Dad brought us to West Virginia when I was 2, because all our family is here. I've lived in 9 or 10 different parts of West Virginia since then. I could probably live the rest of my life here, but wifey has her hopes up for Tennessee. We'll see.

And I concur, nobody I met during our exercise at Ft. Drum was anything like a New Yorker but everyone was just like the people I hung with at home. The Sherrif even had a cabon copy me in the hoos-cow.
 
I moved here when my dad retired from the Air Force. He put in 20 years. So proud of him.
