I stand corrected Mensaguy. I was misinformed on the names. And you're right on the food too. And the gossip. You can hear almost anything in there.

The only down fall to small town... is gossip.

Sad... when ther isn't enough hobbies to distract the gossip.

When people hear we moved here from Texas, they remark on what a change it must be. I started listing differences and found there are only two--the weather and the language. Still a small town, still a place where gossip spreads faster than a wild fire, a place where the people you see at church are the same people you see at one meeting are the same people you see at other meetings, at church, the grocery store, and the local watering hole, a place where everybody knows where everybody else lives--and it's a good thing.

Except when they show up at supper time.
