small towns**

Love living here, but it can be a pain sometimes too. Middle of summer and I left my car windows down during an afternoon deluge, to the point that I had a couple of inches of water in the floorboards. Next day, I left all the doors open hoping to dry it out. Wet I could deal with, musty and mildewy, no thanks. I park next to the store —behind a huge row of shrubs—in a ball field parking lot because ours is so small.

One of the town cops came by and asked me what was wrong. I told him, and he just started laughing. Told me that at least 6 people had called the police dept and reported that my car doors were open and they were worried about me. I appreciate their concern but I’m still laughing about that.

You know you live in a small town when everyone knows who’s working by what vehicles are/aren’t there. Snort

Have a great day!

You are so funny....did you ever think about being a comedian?

I got an email one time that said “It was really good to live in a small town when you were older and forgot what you were doing because someone else in that small town could tell you what you were doing.”

At least your police department was on your case! LOL~~~

Gardengirl, I just loved this... it reminded me of " Mayberry"! Oh that would be so wonderful to be able to do that. We dare not leave " anything" open...here in Los ANgeles! Polly

Good afternoon, GG.
I loved your story; I also grew up in a small town.
It was quite an adjustment when it became necessary to lock our car and our doors.

Hope your Wednesday is Warm and Fuzzy!
Have a great day.

I have to agree with EVERYONE whos commented on your small town ‘stories’! Priceless! Very Mayberry-AuntBee-Andy-Barnie-and-Opie-like!

If you leave your window open in the middle of summer here, you come back to find your car full of zucchini!
