Small Towns

There is something very special about small towns. I happen to live in one and wouldn't trade it for the world. Big towns have their place with lots of night life and things to do. But there is something innocent about small towns. The local ice cream shop that's been around forever, high school games and dances, parades, downtowns, and the local mall...the familiarity of it all is very comforting. Obviously it changes overtime but it somehow stays the same. Here are some pictures from my little corner of the world and some of my favorite small town people. I'm happy to have them here with me. I am thankful for each of them in this moment. Truly, I am blessed.





Cammy and the Parade!

Our school mascot...a wildcat with people hands!?

You know you're in a small town when: The local sports star from the previous year comes back for the homecoming parade (see corny pose below)

Cats won state title '07!!! Thank you Mr. Avery!


My dear nephew Wesley was on the sophmore homecoming court. In a small town that's a big deal. My brother was prom king last year. In a small town, that's right up there with the first black president. Watch out Obama!
