We went to my hometown, Tionesta, PA, this weekend. Â It’s a wee little town in northwest Pennsylvania boasting a county-wide population of around 4000. Â There are no fast food restaurants and no stop lights. Â Mainly, there are trees and clear skies. Â It’s a great place to call “back home”.
Anyhow, I need help. Â Something has gone drastically wrong and I think I have a problem. Â So, as we drove into town on Friday night, I remembered that there are 3 cannons and a bell in the front yard of the county courthouse. Â First thing Saturday (after it got warm enough so we wouldn’t get stuck), we all went to town and we licked them…we licked them all!
The real problem, however, is that I got my Mom in on it too! Â The best part is…she works at the courthouse some and court was in session! Â We had witnesses!
Really, it was a lot of fun showing the kids around town some and talking about stuff that I used to do as a kid (no, I didn’t tell them ALL the stuff I did). Â I don’t know if they cared too much, but Isaac surely wanted to find more stuff to lick…I guess I am rubbing off on him some!
Oh my gosh – too funny! You need to call a news crew next time you do this..

Now to tell the truth, I really didn’t lick it I just pretended to keep them happy. The rest of them really did it. Uck!!! What fun.

I can’t stand it any more. For a germaphobe, these stories are an absolute nightmare.
I’m really thinking of sending you a pocket-sized disinfectant spray for you to carry around just for (these increasingly frequent) times like this. lol
How fun to visit your home town again – your mama looks like a lot of fun to spend time with!

You are going to need a 12 step program!
Capri Kel’s last blog post..All Aboard
You are going to start a new fad! BELL LICKERS UNITE !!! I think you should write the Pres. and get him in on the fun. Start a bell lickers club, similar to geocaching! But wait…
You have moved on to canons…
What next??? Battleships, the Space Shuttle, Speeding Trains?
I am anxiously awaiting the next item you dare to stick your tounges on.
And tell your Mom nice try, but we all know she really did lick that canon too!
Very COOL Grandma!!!
good article, thanks for this useful info, I have dug and stumbled this article. I will keep visiting for more useful information.
Kris…that’s an interesting thought….and I am a bit of an attention hound (I know…who’da guessed!)
June & Caprilis – you don’t even know!
Mom – you missed out on a treat!
Freckles – I promise to not lick stuff for awhile…I think I am addicted
Farm mom – Grey wolf has given me some good ideas…but I am not sure where we are headed next!
farmgirl_dk – break free my friend! embrace your inner yuck! Yeah…mom is fun, especially when she has a few bloody marys in her like this morning (just kidding!)
Capri Kel – not another 12 step program…I can’t keep all my programs straight!
GW – a train sounds cool! We have tons of coal trains around here! Thanks for the idea!
Hey, Warren, do you know the only other county in PA without traffic lights? Perry County, where I hang my hat. And you are weird. And to top it off, you have decided to pass the weirdness chromosome on to your youngin’s.

Oh gee whiz cheesy…you’re from down there? You might as well be from Philly! LOL
Forest Co. doesn’t have any traffic lights either. Oh yes, we do have one at the history house. We had a traffic light once when they were repairing the bridge. That was a long time ago though.
