That was her last post.

Maybe she's having so much fun that she gave up hanging out on the web.

Well I typed out a whole big update and when I went to submit, it got "lost". Anyway, we are still here. I started working about a week and a half ago and that has helped keep me busy. Hoping to meet some great people through my new job. We are adjusting. Found a few good restaurants and activities to enjoy. Curious about fall/winter. Obviously our canoeing/swimming isn't a good fall/winter activity. What's there to do? Fall festivals? Something besides hs football. Not being rude, but growing up in a small town, we just already know that Friday nights are football nights in small towns. We know hunting is big. What else?

thanks for getting back and catching us up on your life. I am glad you found a job, it should help you stay a little busy. As for this fall and winter, I guess I am showing my age, I don't know why people think they have to be entertained all the time. Yes, football is big in small towns, for some of us, football is big period. My husband, our family and I can't wait for it to start but not everyone shares our enthusiasm. The fall is a great time to take walks, start planning for the holidays, or read a good book or take an art class. Hopefully you will make some friends, if not super ones, at least someone you can spend a little time with. One little piece of advise, if you want to meet new people and adjust to your life try not to gripe about not liking where you live. People don't like to hear the negatives about their town.

There is "Friday on the Square" this evening in Harrison. It's monthly during the summer and I haven't been to it yet, but here are more details:

I am kinda in the same shoes. We are a young family in our 20's are relocating to MH next month. We've never lived in a small town myself. It feels good to see some positive posts on this site. I am a liberal myself and so it'll be interesting. I have heard a lot of good things about being in MH but have never experienced living in a small town. Hoping to make some friends...

If "MH" is Mountain Home. you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance.

There's a lot of tourist trade there, and a *lot* of people from other states, so the supporting busineses, restaurants, and recreation is plentiful.

It has some beautiful areas, plenty of lake access. I'm not sure I'd summarize it as a small town, as I tend to think of towns around me with a population of 125 as small.

As RogMar said, give it a chance and you will enjoy living there. The one thing you may have a little trouble with is the liberalism part, overall it is small town and probably not a liberal as you may want. As long as you don't make an issue of this, no one else will.

Now, look for the beauty in the area (there is plenty of it) join a class,visit the sights, get involved in your kids school activities (I am assuming if you are a family you do have kids) and relish living in a small town which is how our country was formed. Yes, you will miss certain aspects of the BIG CITY, but may find small town living can be for you.
