Take Me Home To A Place Where I Belong West Virginia Mountain Momma Take Me Home Country Roads!




This weekend we went to mommy's college for a reunion. Friday night we tried in vain to find a place to eat in Morgantown, but couldn't. Daddy pointed out the sign for West Virginia University, and I said 'I want to go there'.

Ok, so it was one word off from West Virginia Wesleyan, our final destination and mommy's alma mater. On Saturday morning we picked up Stephanie in Bridgeport, WV and drove to Buckhannon, WV. At the Alumni Center there was this neat rocking chair that I got to sit in, and I got to play with a nice 21-month old who was there, Rebecca.

I was a bit cranky before lunch, so daddy put me in the car and drove me around to get me to sleep. We were 30 miles down I-79 headed towards Charleston before mommy called and had daddy come back for lunch.

While I was at with daddy, mommy and Stephanie had to be interviewed for Mrs. Coston's book. I must have liked West Virginia Wesleyan, for later on that afternoon I had an accident and made my mark on the Alumni Center rug. I guess I have to go to college there now. That night, Rebecca's mommy (the Alumni Director), and her husband watched me and Rebecca while mommy and daddy met up with some of mommy's friends.

Mrs. Coston, who is in the center of the picture is the retired learning center director from Wesleyan, is writing a book about the alumni who was in the learning center during and their successes during and after Wesleyan. The name of the book will be called "A Celebration of Success". Mommy submitted some things from her experiences for book. The book is due to come out in the fall 2011 and at that point there will be a book signing.
