There was a big quilt shop on the south side of the highway. I probably just went into the cabinet shop to pass time while Tricia was looking at fabrics.bill / prairie pointhttp://www.prairiepoint.net/journalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-82217755299038965442009-08-14T15:53:59.803-05:002009-08-14T15:53:59.803-05:00Here's hoping your wish comes true.

It's down to about a five mile radius now.<br /> So we can sometimes create our own "small towns" right where we are planted.Chancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888087428059834691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-52117846950667596262009-08-13T09:11:54.597-05:002009-08-13T09:11:54.597-05:00There was "bad blood" in my family, too,...There was "bad blood" in my family, too, a generation or two back. Family secrets run on guilt and shame.I probed a little into what had split my father and his seven siblings into two warring camps and decided I didn't want to know any more. Several of them went to their graves unreconciled, which is just a damn shame any way you look at it.<br /><br />The photos with this post look to my New England eyes as if they were taken on another planet, but I know better. Mainers and Texans are more alike than most people would ever suspect.Petehttp://iwassaying.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-17768492420255445442009-08-11T08:13:40.201-05:002009-08-11T08:13:40.201-05:00I liked this story mom.

I too wish to move somewhere where you can hear your own thoughts and dont have to have the newest fashions.I dont want my children to grow up in a town flooded with violence and too fast paced for them to even know what childhood means.Lets go together sometime soon ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
