Rita I envy you...peace and quite...and small town America has the nicest ppl. Living in South Florida has gotten worse and worse. My son has a home close and my daughter is an hour and 1/2 north..Royal Palm Beach..that area is still great..but hubby has 5 more years till retirement so have to stick it out. My son in laws company has a branch in Charlotte..so we have been talking about moving to NC...I would love a house with a mountain view..but Joe is not sure he could stand the winters...and son will NOT move there as he is a Marine Mechanic and has to be on the ocean...
My dad lived in Mo. and I visited there once when I was 9. Grandparents lived in Lyons KA....very small town..no fast food at ALL...downtown was 4 blocks facing each other with a Gazbo in the middle...JC Penny's had a catolog store there..you go in order for the catolog and pick up there..(no computers..internet back then)....
enjoy your little sticks...it is much healthier then the hustle of the fast pace city life....after all we are not young uns anymore..don't need the fast pace life..been there an done that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
