I was on Google Analytics and noticed I had readers from every state except Vermont. I was hurt. I mean, what did I ever do to you Vermont? Why the cold shoulder? You're on my vacation bucket list, along with Maine. There are lots of things I love about Vermont! Won't you return the love? Here's my top ten favorite things about Vermont, even though I've never been there..
- Maple Syrup. I love maple syrup. The real stuff, from Vermont. Not the maple flavored corn syrup.
- Fall Foliage. Fall is my favorite season and, from the looks of the travel brochures, your fall foliage can't be beat!
- The Letter V. Who doesn't love the letter V? It's strong and powerful. I used to want to name a son Victor. Maybe I'll name my next son Vermont.
- Moose. Moose are so majestic and impressive. I don't know that I'd like to meet one up close and personal, but I like them from a distance.
- Spirit For Freedom. Who doesn't love their rights? I love your true blue, defend your rights, not going down without a fight spirit.
- Montpellier. I love the name of your capitol. I bought my favorite scarf in Montpellier, France. Do you pronounce yours the same way - Mont-Pill-Yay?
- No Billboards. I love that you don't allow billboards along your highways. Groovy.
- Covered Bridges. You have the most anywhere right? I love their beauty.
- Cool People. You've produced some world changers, Ethan Allen from the Green Mountain Boys, Calvin Coolidge and John Deere
- Ben and Jerry's. I now know I'm allergic to dairy, but I remember the creamy goodness from BFD (before dairy free). My hubby and big kids love it. Chubby Hubby, Cookie Dough, Chocolate Macadamia. Yum!
This post is for my friend Angie, she knows why ;)
This made tears come to my eyes because I was so tickled. LOL Hey -- check your Paypal account. I was sincere. Bwahahaha!
ReplyDeleteBy the way - love your creativity with this. Kudos to you!
You crack me up...though I have to admit, now I'm dying to know about the whole Vermont/Angie/PayPal thing.
ReplyDeleteHow hilarious!! Now I wanna see if any Vermont folks read my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteKris -
ReplyDeleteCheryl said on Twitter the other night that she wanted to know why nobody in Vermont has read her blog (according to Google Analytics). She said she loves maple syrup and the letter V. I told her she needed to make a post about why she loves Vermont. I said I'd pay $5 to see it. LOL I did tell her that she had to include loving the letter V though.
So, when I saw the post was up, I sent her $5 via Paypal. LOL
Okay, I'm in Vermont and I am reading this! Very cute! I have never heard of your blog and just found it through a twitter note about this from @Kris_WUHSMom
ReplyDeleteThanks for such an adorable post! Come on by and visit my blog too! I'd love to have you!
Blessings

This is too funny.
ReplyDeletehahaha awesome list. Who doesn't love the letter V really?
ReplyDeleteWell, I live directly across Lake Champlain from VT, and lived in VT for 5 years before moving back to my hometown in NY. Does that count??? =-) We head over there fairly regularly & *LOVE* VT in our house. Hubs & I are looking forward to the day that our kiddos are grown and we can retire. We always say we're not retiring to FL (who wants to live with all heat, humidity, & bugs?). We're retiring to VT!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Montpelier is pronounced "mont-peel-ur". So, no, not like the French, although most of VT & upstate NY was originally settled by the French. I have no doubt it was most likely named after your Montpelier in France.
Great list, btw!
lol, I liked this! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha!! If you ever DO visit Vermont you will have to check out the Ben and Jerry's place. We honeymooned in Stowe nearby at an amazing B&B called Ye Olde England Inne. LOVED it!! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are so cute!! I love Vermont too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time letting them go too. Little by little... :) My friend just let her son, who is only 4 months older than mine, go on a mission trip to Scotland. Can't say I'm ready for that!!!

I have never been to Vermont. It really sounds great! I love maple syrup and Ben and Jerry's. Try Soy Delicious soy cream. They have some great flavors that are dairy free.
