Question: How many of you can relate!?
It’s a one horse town!.
(May not even be that!.)
We don’t claim a traffic light!.
Folks are friendly…can you claim that!?
Need a ramp built for a senior…
Ten men are there with their tools!.
Ten women with food for distribution!.
Two schools, families who cherish their kids!.
Three restaurants…one can even seat 15!
Small grocery…with good food!.
Quiet nights…little traffic!.
Volunteer fire department…
Always on the ready!.
Three resale shops…
Really great bargains!
Two gas stations
(at last count)!.
Neighbors watching out
for neighbors!.
Stars studded in our sky at night!.
What more could you require!?
I wouldn’t have it any other way!.

A lovely description of your village!. My little hamlet does not even have a movie theater, but we have four gas stations!! We are near a well-known beach which attracts thousands of tourists every summer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

(In my eyes you are speaking of Neshkoro, WI!. Only one gas station, but 2 churches and 3 taverns!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I raised my girls in towns quite like this!. Many wondered why I never wanted a city church!. I came from Chicago, it's a good place to be from, far from!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I, too, grew up in a very small town!. Couldn't wait to leave at 18!.
couldn't wait to raise my kids in another small town!Www@QuestionHome@Com
