I love our small town!

Who would ever have thought you'd hear me claiming to love a small town? I grew up in a small town and I couldn't wait to leave that small town......don't get me wrong, I love my hometown too, it is just the "small town mentality" that I couldn't take and couldn't wait to get away from (you know the type...they think they are God's gift to mankind and when they actually leave high school and enter the BIG world and people have no clue who they are....they are the ones that come back to the little town where they can be a BIG fish in a microscopic pond). But I digress.....

Today the boys and I went to one of our little stores to purchase a sympathy card, go to the post office and the library. I remembered to bring my camera with so I could take pictures of Bean and Bug standing by their favorite decorations (Bird is in the stroller).

There must be some kind of contest going on because almost all of the street lights downtown are decorated with pumpkins, scarecrows and other Harvest/Halloween decorations. We live in such a cute, little quaint town and I abosolutely love it! Our main street is about 2 blocks long and is a one-way street. We have a pharmacy, variety store, cafe, pizza parlor, ice cream shop, candy store, natural health store, a cakery, a framing shop and some other little shops. We are far enough from the *big* cities to feel remote and have a sense of community, yet close enough to the *big* cities that we have everything we need/want and don't have to drive over 20 minutes to get there.

Well, I have an apple pie that needs to be made and baked for our small group tonight.

Happy Fall!
