No particular reason except that when I visited, the town just seemed dead. Not knocking the people, just my observation

Apparently any place in the world is better than Tyler. I must be deranged to live here. How could I not be aware that Tyler is the 7th level of Hell? WHO KNEW???????????????????

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get ready for church. Of course, that's all we can do here - go to church and then out to eat afterwards. That's all anyone in Tyler is allowed to do. I need to go iron my hair shirt with the iron I've had heating on the hearth first though. Oops, I need to go draw some water from the well to sprinkle on it first though. And feed the chickens.

When I get home, I'm going to watch the Lawrence Welk Show - the highlight of the week for me! I hope the tin foil on my rabbit ears is still holding - I would hate to have to saddle up the mule to ride down to Nacogdoches for some of that new fangled tin foil they're selling in all the fancy new retail stores down there.

Lol...ironically, when my grandmother visited Tyler from Marshall, one of the first things she remarked was how pretty the landscape was. But of course this was decades ago and obviously Tyler has shrunken and the earth there has turned black and barren since then, plus Tyler has even fewer things to do now than it had back then also...just an all around terrible place now smh

I know. I don't know why on earth anyone lives here when they could live in someplace like Nac instead. I mean, there is nothing at all to do here, unless you count drawing water from the well, darning socks, slopping the hogs, and knitting afghans for all the elderly shut ins in the community (about 75 percent of the community apparently).

I just got in from church and I'm so excited because a very rare event in Tyler is about to happen - people in their early thirties are coming over - people with KIDS! And we're going to do some sort of new fangled thing, maybe you've heard of it - EASTER EGG HUNTING. This is the most exciting thing that has happened around here since that mall was built and we paved the roads.

I may even take my corset off and get really comfortable. But that's pushing it.
