I live in a rural area and children here grow up quite smitten with planes and trains. The nearest airports are small ones and 1-2 hours away from us-tho we do have a small one for private planes here in Macomb. We do have train tracks through our town and are very lucky to be an Amtrak city with not one but two arrivals/departures between Quincy IL and Chicago. So, you can hop on in the morning, catch a Cubs game and be back before 10! Four times a day you can tell the time by hearing that lonesome whistle blow. Are children on Ocracoke fascinated by trains?

Sometimes she says things like, "I wish I'd asked Ma Sade about that shipwreck. She had such a good memory, but I was so young and I never asked."Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-56330374862508764122012-07-27T17:34:41.278-04:002012-07-27T17:34:41.278-04:00Have you ever stumped Blanche?Have you ever stumped Blanche?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
