Sunday, my hubby and I went to the big city of Springfield , You can say somewhat of a date and I realized, I am so glad we live where we do. I mean the city is a nice place to visit with the various places to shop and the wide variety of places to eat, and different things to do. But I wouldn`t trade our small town living for anything. In the city , things move at a faster pace then the small towns, yes we still have a micky D`s and even a Wally world. I know I did grow up in the city, big Kansas City and love it to an extent, but I so love the country and the slower pace that it is. We do not compete with others in the community, we embrace our neighbors and we all lend a helping hand when it is needed, if we know the need is there...for example when our youngest was diagnosed with Leukemia,neighbors came out of the woodwork to lend a hand...even the local Pizza Hut gave my hubby and oldest daughter a free pizza while I was with my youngest in St louis getting her starting on the treatments that were important. The community came together and had a benefit in her honor and I seen how much this community cares. I do not think if we live in a big city they would have done that. It dawn on me how lucky we are to be living in the small community we do live in and that everyone should know this type of comminuty where we help one another out when need be...like it used to be when our great country was founded.
I have been enjoying the sunny weather, I have tooken a walk the last few days and basked in the sunshine, it is so nice to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather . My hubby is just waiting to hear the peeper frogs at night. I have not had a siting of a robin as of yet , but I am looking for them. Everybody have a glorouis day that the GOD has made...mud and all
I have seen robins!! I love our little town! They are awesome. I love the slow pace... I get to nervous when I go to Springfield and it makes me feel all jumpy and crabby!lol
