TM, I think the greatest part of America is like Barnwell, S.C. The red country is filled with patriotic, God-loving people. We get a skewed picture of things because of the liberal propaganda machine.

"No rest for the weary eh?"

That was one of my Mom's favorite sayings, smiling. Nice to see you Nan, looking forward to hearing about your get together with LadyX.

Good Night and God Bless

You're so right, Nan! I would love to live in a small town like that.

I do, and I'm grateful. We've lived in several large cities and every day we thank God that we finally settled in this lovely small town, where we live on main street and watch the parades from our front porch, picnic in the town park and watch the fireworks on the 4th of July. It's a place where the people are proud to be American and love God and country in that order. You can see parts of it on my profile page. I truly love the place.

This is perfect for retirement, weary of life in cities and having to live in the hinterlands for peace and quiet and commute....constantly dodging traffic and taking hours to get to the places you want to go.

Here you are disadvantaged with few shopping choices, but the grocery stores are competitive - and Wal-Mart is less expensive than even they are. The delight is you don't have to go more than two miles to get to several places to pay the power bill, city water, etc. bill, cable tv bill, etc.

The County Courthouse with its famous sundial is beautiful, beside a Circle in the middle of the town - everything is always clean and landscaped nicely - all the buildings neatly painted.

The lovely thing is knowing my grandparents were here in the latter 1920's when he pastored a church right off the Circle. I can literally feel their prayers for their children and grandchildren surrounding me at times!

There is no movie theater, but the churches go all out to keep the children occupied and have special events. Mine sponsors 'Fifth Night' during football season and draws 400 + teens from the area for pizza, Christian talks and music and celebrating there, rather than trashing the town.

For shopping needs not filled here, Aiken is 32 miles - Augusta, GA 45 miles - Columbia 65 miles - excuse to take a little trip and eat out!

Idyllic, when you want to gear down in life and just enjoy it without all the old hassles.

Less driving around translates to more Freeping Time at The Finest !!

Be careful, Lady. If you keep talking about your hometown like that I might show up at your door with several suitcases. :)

Midnight draws nigh, and with a sigh,
M'Lady withdraws for the night - - -

God bless each of you.
