My motives were clear and simple. I think she’s brilliant at everything small business. She wondered what topic might interest.<BR/>------------------<BR/>williamgeorge<BR/><A HREF="http://www.drivenwide.com" REL="nofollow">Search Engine Optimization</A>williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688329762742412714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-44181219820686661172008-10-07T08:50:00.000-06:002008-10-07T08:50:00.000-06:00Dianne, I love that!

But I think that kind of schooling prepares you in a way nothing else does.

I too am a city girl and while I was a bit more sheltered (12 yrs of Catholic School) than you, nothing compares to the laid back folks in VT-- at least most of the time. I forgot what time the town clerks office closed on the day I was to pick up our marriage license. So, I went next door to the post office and they called her at her home. The next day, everyone at LBJ's the local "village" store, knew our story and how we almost didn't get hitched on Saturday. One time my mail that should have gone to my work in Mplr came to my home address---SERIOUSLY folks, either big brother is watching me or someone is super attentive to us little folks, transplants at that!

It sounds like you live in a nice friendly town, even if they know what you (or your son) are reading.<BR/>That hasn't happened to me here in Boston except in Harvard Square where there's a woman who reads all my news articles (and books)and sweetly comments on them when she spots me climing the stairwell to the cafe on my way for a brownie.Johnny Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933784057511490249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-35057060150040061062008-10-05T16:45:00.000-06:002008-10-05T16:45:00.000-06:00There certainly are times when you crave anonymity...There certainly are times when you crave anonymity in a small town! But I think you're right, the idea of community and people lookig out for one another is something sorely lacking in our culture and can only be found in small doses in the rural parts of the country. Even there, it's being lost to a point. Thanks for helping me to remember how thankful I am for the place in which I live and the people with whom I share that place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-89487074994744567562008-10-05T16:25:00.000-06:002008-10-05T16:25:00.000-06:00Thank you both!

I have so much fun sharing my stuff with La Bloga readers. <BR/><BR/>But I have to admit, the bodice ripper I secretly bought was really a graphic novel better suited for my eleven year old son, but I grew up on horror comics, much to my Tia Ana's remorse.Ann Hagman Cardinalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526247495323403304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-25555877704431951962008-10-05T11:06:00.000-06:002008-10-05T11:06:00.000-06:00Excellent reading.
