America's fattest city found - Huntington, WV

I found this piece of information enlightening (but not surprising) about my birthplace: Huntington, WV. You can read the full article here.

"Huntington, W.Va., is called a warning for the rest of U.S."

By Mike Stobbe - Associated Press

November 17, 2008

Nearly half the adults in Huntington's five-county metropolitan area are obese—an astounding percentage, far bigger than the national average in a country with a well-known weight problem.

Huntington leads in a half-dozen other illness measures, too, including heart disease and diabetes, according to a U.S. health report. It's even tops in the percentage of elderly people who have lost all their teeth (half of them).

Is it just me or can they not get any cuter than this?

Thanksgiving in Stuckey, SC

About an hour and a half north of Charleston (up Hwy 41 and just left of Hemmingway), you'll venture into a town called Stuckey, SC. That is where we spent our Thanksgiving. Mama Sue opened up her home to all of us for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in her new home. She had it all decorated for Christmas (tree & all) and even had place cards for us at the dinner table. Clay took advantage of a "Peace" craft that was out on a table by re-arranging the letters.
The food was terrific as always. She had made something called "pear salad' (made of lettuce, pears, mayo, cheese & cherries)...never heard of anything like it before...must be a Southern thing. I didn't try it, but I did take a picture of it.
The kids had a great time visiting with Heath & Willow. I realized after I got home, that I didn't take any pictures of the kids all together. Here are a few from what I did manage to get...I purposefully left out any pics of Abby throwing up before and after dinner (you're welcome!).
