Check Your Geography

I have always loved school. Before I started school I would pretend that I had homework. Even after I started school and before they handed out homework I pretended that I had homework. Are you getting a glimpse into my strange mind here?

I've always loved geography, and the blank maps where you fill in the countries or . . . States. So just for fun, I found a map of the United States with no state names and tried my hand at filling them in without a list of states. I missed seven. I tried it again with a list of states and only missed two, well technically I transposed them. But I guess if you only miss two that's more than likely the case. My husband on the other hand missed 16 his first try without a state list and I won't even tell you how many he missed the second time but I will tell you that he listed Vermont three times, still missed it. So I guess you could say that my superiority complex is securely in place this morning. Just don't ask me a math question. . .

Give it a try, (right click on the picture and print it) let me know how you do and perhaps I will give you a little gift.  I know you won't cheat because, as my Grandma always tells me, "I know you'll make the right choices." See how much faith I have in you . . . so don't blow it.
