State Folding

I live in Chesapeake Virginia. I have been in this area since my 13Th birthday. I went to high school and college here. I am blessed to have worked for the same company for 19 years. My friends and church are close and awesome. There is one thing I would change... if I could. No I would not make the beaches less crowded. I wouldn't make the summers less humid.Heck I wouldn't even make sweet tea our state drink. What I would do is make the proximity of Virginia closer to both Florida and New Jersey. My mother has come up this ingenious idea. We just haven't figured out how to implement it. We call it state folding. What we would do it connect New Jersey to Virgina and Virgina to Florida. Now for those of you in the states of Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, we apologize for the inconvenience. We just need to be closer. We could help relocate you. If you are west coast... you too could try it. In fact any state that does not interfere with our plan is welcome to help with research and development.This past weekend I had the luxury (and I am being sincere)- luxury to have my sister and her family, my parents and my other sister all in for the weekend. I cannot tell you what a wonderful weekend I had. I felt happy and complete. I just wish my family was closer so we could enjoy each other more often. For those of you separated from your family by miles my heart goes out to you. Please take the time to pick up the phone, or write and email or letter and let your family know you love and care for them. If you like the idea of state foldingand your family wouldn't objet send them to my blog and let's get working on it... If they live in Maryland or one of the other for mentioned states.... ask them to consider relocating... I'm only kidding but if I could ... I would.

  1. Hey there :) Found you at SITS this morning. I lived in Virginia - hear Leesburg - for 7 years before moving to the great NW. I am the only one of my family members to leave the state of IL (that's where my hometown is located), and it is so hard to be so far away from all of them. My parents drove 4,000 miles roundtrip (because my dad doesn't fly) to visit me this summer ... the best week of my life!

  2. Forget the state folding. We can get a large house here and everyone can live in it together. Combined incomes should allow for that very nicely. Each family contributes accordingly and shares chores. I want to be the cook and Poppy should be the coordinator. What do you think? Not a bad idea! Love you all!
