Yesssssss. I say "misery" when I say something like "My Mom was born in misery." Because yes, I'm THAT cool. ;)
You've been to Rolla? Daaaaaamn.
It was kind of cool though. We took this trip to find my Mother's roots when I was about 10 or 11. We ended up going to some really old, out-of-the-way cemeteries and I remember talking to the funeral director's wife a long time about being a writer. She gave me a book of her poems which I found when I was home. She was cool. Then we ate at this place called...crap...I think it was Hampton House? Houston House? Something like that. It reminded me of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes.
Next year, whether I'm living there or not, I hope to go home and go with my Sister and Grandpa up to see the Great, Great's gravesites in Beatty, KS. Some of them are so old that you can barely get to them because of the dirt roads and overgrowth. I want to go take some peek-tures. :
