Ode to Kingman...(hum my country tis of thee while reading)

My Kingman 'tis of thee
all of this dirt I see,
to thee we sing!
Land of Walmart's shopping pride
with all your auto rides (senior citizen shopping carts:)
home to your double wides, to thee we sing!

Oh sage brush covered hills,
and trucks with gun racks filled
my heart cries out...
No more desert landscaping
or stoplight nosepicking
or bluehaired gun-slinging--please SET ME FREE!

Oh friends we'll miss you most,
our sanity to thee we owe.
Don't ever change!

The late night games we played,
culture--we never strayed!
great food we always ate,
come and visit soon!

(stop humming or the rest won't make sense:-)

So we are off to Vegas in a few short weeks--Scott's project is wrapping up here and we are headed back to start another. Although my "ode" doesn't state it (I couldn't come up with the right rhymes) we really will miss this place and the people here. It will be nice to get back to civilization but this was a great adventure while it lasted (Sunday "testimony" auctions, yard sale underoos and all!)

We will definitely miss you guys. Please keep the blog going, so we can know what's going on with you! Good luck in Vegas.

blah blah blah....I'm not listening....you're not moving. And that's that!

Really though, I am so glad you are only moving back to LV. We will see each other lots.

Yeah! Ryan will be so happy to have the baker-of-his-favorite-bread back in Vegas. Oh and I think he likes Scott too. ;-)

Happy you are heading back! But poor you, moving while pregnant!
