Ok folks
Though i would chime in today (9th May) as it is a special celebration day on my little rock ... It is our liberation day from the German forces that occupied the channel islands during the second world war.
I live on the Island of Guernsey in the English channel.
More info here;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey

Happy Liberation Day! What do you do to celebrate?

I would guess they would dress up as in these photos..Eat & drink & let off fireworks..Then my boys from Scotland get the party moving...You got to move it move it... banana

yeah that,s pretty much it KF although normally our celebration tends to be to raise a coffee at whichever park we at at on May 9th ...
This year is a bit different as DW has to work and i am re-jiggling our kitchen .. Rock and Roll whoopdedoo

Many many years ago,whilst on holiday on Jersey, I visited some kind of German underground thing..I can't remember as it was that long ago..I'am sure it was a tourist attraction..

Hey! My son lives in Mequon! He's with J3 Engiineers.

We live in southwest Wisconsin. Soon to be located in Mount Horeb, WI just outside of the state capital of Madison where we were all born and raised.

We are in Racine and have season tickets for the Badger football games.......daughter lives in Madison(in between Verona and Fitchburg), and son lives in Green Bay

I want to meet your son! I am a Packers fan and have been since the mid 80s when american football was not that popular here, I used to listen to the American Forces coverage on Sundays. clapping

Last year it was either going to Green Bay to see the Packers for my 50th or sunny Mouseland, the sun won!


Hey Sally - Ann...Where are you from.?..

I was born in Kent but now live in Essex but in a London Borough!

I grew up in Northwestern Pa between Erie, Pa and Buffalo, Ny. My hometown is known for Zippo Lighters and Marolyn Horne, the Opera singer. I relocated to Orlando, Florida in 2012 and I've been within a 30 minute drive to the magic ever since.

Oh my gosh! My gymnasts hd a competition at a YMCA in southwestern NY a few years ago and we must have driven right past your hometown on the interstate. I remember the zippo factory!

I don't remember the numbers....I remember driving through a state park somewhere above Dubois and being somewhat concerned that our car might be abducted by a bear...and I remember the zippo factory. I can't even remember the name of the town we competed in!! The only restaurant in the entire town was Friendly's and my kids did really well at the meet. Wow. My memory used to be better than that!

The bears in the area very friendly. I don't think anyone has been mauled by a bear recently in that area.

I grew up in Dubois and my parents still live there. My mother has to bring in her many birdhouses every single night because Black Bears come into their yard most nights looking for food. She has forgotten a few nights and every time she did, a Bear got into the birdhouses! Living in many parts of PA is almost like living in the woods laugh

Hey Pixiebell...What town in Ohio? I was born and raised in Massillon (near Canton), but moved away for college and have lived out of state since. Even so, the majority of my family still lives there and I love to visit!
