Our Community

I really do love where we live. It's a small town. Friendly people, nice slow pace... I like that:
  • I can hear a train rumble through town on a quiet summer evening
  • I pass green pastures dotted with livestock and old women tending gardens on the way home from work
  • Homemade signs advertising Free Kittens, Lost Dogs, and Teenage Boys looking for Yardwork are posted at the local supermarket
  • If you call someone and get the wrong number, they'll either know the right number or they'll try to get it for you
  • Your child can attend a week-long camp and they ask for your registration and fees at the end of the week
  • The local Tea Room lets little girls come dressed like princesses and clomp up and down the stairs in high heeled shoes during the noon rush.
  • You know the managers of the local businesses, the pastors of the churches, the teachers, the coaches and the bag boys at the grocery.
