Small town living

[Guest]

We live in a small town of less that 1,000 people. We lived in town

for 12 years until last year. It was nice to live in town,

everything was in walking distance. But, I really wanted to get away

from the traffic and being next to your neighbor. We moved out to

the country last year (about 8 miles out of town). We live in a 1918

old brick farmhouse with lots of character. We are on about an acre

on a dead end road and absolutely love the peace and quiet and the

ability to run around. We planted a garden this year for the first

time & plan on doing some canning. We have apple trees and will be

making apple pies to freeze soon.

Living in a small community is nice. You really get to know quite a

few people. I lived in a larger city, loved the extra shopping and

restaurants, but decided I liked the country better. We still have

restaurants & have to drive further to shopping, but you combine all

of your trips into one big trip.

definitely took some getting used to.
