Sometimes these get buried, but I think it’s nice sharing with our family members about where we live, so I brought it up again.

Hi Family,
Thought I’d bring this up again for the benefit of our new members so they can add to it or just read through it.

We’re family, I think we’d like to know where we are all from.

Hey Jfitzen,

If You Ever Need A Friend, Look Up My Nephew In Firth, Idaho. I Know That’s In The Pocatello Area Because He Works In Pocatello.

My Nephew’s Wife Is A “horse Whisperer” And She Travels To Other States To Train Horses.

Hi,
Since this is going well, inspite of my “oooooop’s” in post #1, I thought I’d tell more about where I live, St. James, Long Island, New York. Long Island juts out at the bottom of New York State and it’s kinda shaped like a fish with a forked tail. The Atlantic ocean is at the east end of Long Island and I am living in the central part of this island on the north shore. The eastern end is slowly making it’s wineries known. And like Idaho, there are also Long Island potatoes. Maybe the people in Idaho eat Long Island potatoes. There are three beaches, Short Beach, Long Beach and Little Africa. There is a harbor, but it’s just called “the harbor”. A very small river meanders through.
St. James is a small country looking town and those of us who were born and raised here, talk different then the “city” people. We do not have that “brooklyn” accent.

Hi,
Ignore the above post. I thought I figured out how to put in a bigger image, like old forum, didn’t work, couldn’t delete:o

OH WELL, we can still go with this. I am from Long Island, New York and I live in a town called St. James. I am about 40 to 50 miles east of New York City. My town lays claim to having the oldest still operating general store, circa 1857.

Our sister town, Smithtown, has a statue of a bull and a legend. A settler, Richard Smith, was told by local indians that he could keep whatever land he could circle while riding atop his bull “whisper”.

I grew up in St. James.
