My Home Town
My home town used to be a far away exotic destination. It seemed so far away that slowly and sadly it started slipping away from me. Today this is my home town, nestled in a valley. It is a small town. It doesn’t even have a traffic light or a stop sign. We however have post office, a gas station/convenience store, a bank, a hair dresser, a photographer, a restaurant, a bar, and an antique store. You can also have your headstone made right here in town! All these stores clumped together on one section of Main Street. Further up Main Street is the school; with an average graduating class of 35 students. Did I say I live on Main Street, right on the West end of town? I love my small home town. From my desk I can see the Creek which ambles through this valley. I see people who drive through from larger cities going on to larger cities. I wonder what they think of our small forgotten town… if they think of it at all.
My goal is to revive this town, quietly and slowly… Make people slow down and notice.
Do you notice a difference... and I too can't wait to see what comes of my flowers this year!

big difference, Uni - much more warm and colorful. :)
I must have missed a few chapters because the last I'd heard (long ago, granted) was you were going to be building a home on some property you bought. Is that still in play? How long have you been living on Main Street in Small Town, USA? You make it seem quite idyllic, and that's a good thing.
hey mp
We are still going to build our dream home. The property is 2 miles up the road (not one main street).
I do love my small town.
