Could YOU live in Caneyhead?
As I wonder around J-land and meet folks from all around the world it is apparent that we just live a little differently than the rest of ya'll. When I go to work in Beaumont, TX...it is apparent that even all fellow Texans don't do things like we do at home. Why even in town (10 miles south of us) they don't do everything like we do here in our little community of Caneyhead. It makes for some hilarious conversations.
In the interest of understanding, I have compiled an original list of things that we ourselves have done or regularly do in our life here in Caneyhead. Enjoy. Hopefully chuckle. And see if you could live in Caneyhead.

and you still get out shortening and flour... you could live in Caneyhead.

Well..........let's see. I can identify with a few things. My Hubby shot an armadillo because the durn thing was tearing up our yard after we worked so hard to get the grass to grow, but I don't think he was wearing a silk tap pant set, lol.
I do line my trashcans with the plastic bags from Wally World and the grocery store.
I have substituted hot dog buns and hamburger buns for sandwiches when we run out of regular bread, so that is similar.........hee......
When we lived in CO, my husband spent bundles for his yearly week long deer/elk hunt.
I love your list. I found it to be hysterical.
Blessings!~

Actually, I think I could live in Caneyhead. I spent 15 years in rural Baja Calif, Mexico. I have had to chase the pigs when they got, birth goats, buy hay for the bull and watch him grow into an amazing huge bull with no hot lil' mama anywhere. Built the original pens for all except the chickens with pallets. Had to have 4 wheel drive vehicles to get in and out because of muddy clay roads. I've never shot a gun, much less a shotgun, guess I could learn. Havent seen an armadillo except in a zoo. I do know what it's like to drive a long way to get to town.
