Small Town
I had my first small town experience yesterday in our new locale. After having lunch at a friend’s house, I drove across the main road to a development that has some new stores open. I was just checking it out, when I saw another friend who I haven’t seen in probably 6 months or so getting her daughter out of the car. We had a brisk conversation, more because of the cold, and I drove on towards home. I decided to stop at the little public library in my small town to see if they had anything worthwhile. I am a avid reader these days and have run out of space to store anymore books and usually only read them once. As I pulled into the parking lot, I saw another friend who I have only seen very briefly in the Fellowship parking lot over the past two years. She gave me the library tour, I checked out a book and a DVD, and then followed her to her house in a nearby neighborhood. She gave me a tour, we caught up for about 15 minutes, and discussed walking plans for the warmer months. Then I drove home, passing the new elementary school on my way. I could really end up liking this place.
The LBD Dual Significance: I think I may call my small town The Lens (it has ‘lens’ in the spelling) and goes rather nicely with my dual significance blog…don’t ya think? Like a new view on life through The Lens? Or maybe I’ll call it The Vulle. The Ville with a George W. twang to it for the small town aspect. Hmmm….

Emily, if you have not already read this book – try The Glass Castle. Very very good book. I like your blog. I read it often. <3 love you, Melissa
I looove small towns!! The only problem is when I want to run to the store and don’t want to put make up on or do my hair (like if I just worked out and am all nasty) I’m inevitably gonna see half the town at the store.
Long live library DVDs! Just watched one today. Love it. I’ve been swept up in the DVD version of Janette Oke’s Love Comes Softly series. I’m far from an avid reader these days, but movies are right up my alley. I feel like I’ve read a fabulously Christian Anne of Green Gables with a little cheese on the side…and all I had to do was sit and stare at the screen for 90 minutes! I highly recommend them, as long as you expect it to be novel-like with a hint of cheese, not Hollywood by any means. Fills me with warm fuzzies and great satisfaction.
Emily, i love your website! It is sweet, i love hearing about all these instriting random things! i love you and miss you
