There are certain things no West Virginian home can be without– some by tradition and some  for necessity. How many of these things do you have in your home?

  1. A quilt.

  1. Homegrown tomatoes.

  1. Mason jars

  1. An “I love mountains” sticker.

  1. …or a little Friends of Coal sticker.

  1. A Bible

  1. A gun
