A friend who lives in Florida sent me this and it's way too good not to share - just insert the name of your own state and there you go!
A FLORIDA BLESSING
Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.
Please keep it cool in mid-July.
Bless the walls where termites dine
While ants and roaches march in time.
Bless our yard where spiders pass
Fire ant castles in the grass.
Bless the garage, a home to please
Carpenter ants and ticks and fleas.
Bless the love bugs, two by two,
The gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,
In FLORIDA, Lord, you've put them all!!
But this is home, and here we'll stay,
So thank you, Lord, for Insect spray!
This was followed by a listing of "You know you're in Florida when" things that was absolutely hilarious but a tad too long to include here.....things like learning that asphalt has a "liquid state", you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good brading iron and
the best one - the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper!
Anybody recognize their own areas? I sure recognized ours!
