Come Hell or High Water
I was only five years old when the infamous Flood of '85 washed away a chunk of southwest Virginia. I really don't remember much about it, and most of what I do know has been pieced together from old news footage and exaggerated memories. I was in kindergarten at East Salem Elementary School.

Another 50 Question Thing
This list of questions came from the Facebook a long time ago. They're different than the questions I stole from another blogger a few months ago. But I still love this kind of thing.
