Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: "Where I'm From Poem"

Randy over at Genea-Musings has given us this challenge for the April 6 edition of "Saturday Night Genealogy Fun".

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!): 

1)  Write a poem about "Where I'm From" using the template found at the websitehttp://www.swva.net/fred1st/wif.htm

2)  Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Google Plus or Facebook note.

=============================================================
Here is my "Where I'm From" poem:

I am from  Sandusky Bay; from Toft's ice cream, and "breakfast by the bay."

I am from the a house filled with kids, with chocolate cake in the oven, and practical jokesters. 

I am from the Cottonwood tree, burs on my socks, forsythia bushes,  maple trees, and geese flying over the marsh.

I am from huge family dinners,  big bear hugs, from  Gram Em and Grandpa Joe, and Aunt Sal and Aunt Bets.

I am from going to town on Friday night, and to church on Sunday morning; from baby showers, weddings, graduation parties, and Scout camp.

From "kill them with kindness" and  "good things come in small packages."

I am from shouting Methodists, catechism learning Lutherans, Catholics filled with hope, and church potluck dinners.

I'm from the Buckeye state, the feisty Irish, the sedate British, ornery Hungarians, and stubborn Germans; from weiner stew and giant sugar cookies. 

From  a double dose of hyperactivity, from early risers, and hard workers, and nurturing women folk, from "I never met a stranger" and a great big dose of curiosity and unconditional love.

I am from  family pictures, scrapbooks, and lining up

to get the family photo taken. 

Thanks for this fun edition of SNGF, Randy! It was great to take a walk down Memory Lane!
