Am glad that all ended well in the rutabaga patch. It’s neat how people all pitch in to help one another in small towns.

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!
