Hello to all my family and friends in Punxsutawney, PA! I loved growing up in Punxsy and have many fond memories including eating delicious meals at Grandma's house and playing football in the big field. At my uncle's house we thought it would be fun to sit with our back to the fireplace but it soon became too toasty! He always served homemade noodles along with the typical Thanksgiving family recipes. Having a large family is wonderful and being able to share holidays with those we love and hold dear is a special memory I will always treasure. There's nothing like small town living! - Gina Irving (Burke, VA)
