Good ones, Mary! I am always telling my husband is is not CRICK! But he of course ignores me. :-)
I meant to say, "I am always telling my husband it is not CRICK!" I can't type today.
We do most of these in southern MN as well! What a delicious reminder of those days! Thanks for posting!
Those are great Mary! I thought you were talking about Minnesota!
I live right on the shores of Elm Creek. Elm CRICK! Everyone calls it that.
And once a snooty woman sort of sneered at me for saying CRICK. And I said, "Get the right accent or get out of the state, you old bat!!!!"
