WE are military and have been moving here and there and everywhere for years now, but I just recently took my daughters back to our hometown to visit. It is in the mountains of Northern California and your description of your town reminded me of ours. 80 miles from the nearest stoplight and just a little old general store where people stop in to pick up what isn't in their own gardens and swap tall tales at the counter. They leave their extra zucchini on the counter at the post office for some poor zucchiniless soul to pick up for dinner.<BR/><BR/>Here's to great small towns and people who aren't in a hurry!Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923591889426758103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-61702801243653601912007-07-19T15:20:00.000-04:002007-07-19T15:20:00.000-04:00Summer-- It is heavenly..

I never thought I would feel so much about a place, but I enjoy living here and would find it hard to give it up!<BR/><BR/>Krissie-- Your words are so true, but home is anywhere for me as long as I got Hubby and my girls by my side.<BR/><BR/>Elsie-- I know if it is cooked right and seasoned just so, venison can be yummy. My uncle cooked some once that was melt-in-your-mouth GOOD! But I am also dealing with a Hubby that snubs his nose at deer, so it's easier to just cook it and give it to the cats. Better than letting it sit in my freezer and get freezer-burn.<BR/><BR/>Coffee-- When I work out in the garden, or out picking the lovely blackberries, I have that song playing in my head, over and over. Oldest starts asking me why I keep singing the "west virginia" song. I tell her I can't help it! It's playing on a loop in my head!<BR/><BR/>Raynemoon-- No movie rentals at the store, but I wouldn't be surprised if they add that one day.. But I think most people around here use Netflix. Nearest video store is 45 minutes away.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-19649224404402631142007-07-19T14:53:00.000-04:002007-07-19T14:53:00.000-04:00Wow!

I should probably find some time and take LilBit out there for a while. We had one of those general stores too! Does yours do the movie rentals too? =)Raynemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678092043408381090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-26405623623283235392007-07-18T17:18:00.000-04:002007-07-18T17:18:00.000-04:00I've said it before; I am sooooo jealous of where ...I've said it before; I am sooooo jealous of where you live. It is absolutely gorgeous there. John Denver sang it, Almost Heaven, West Virginia, and you get to live it. Venison can be really good but you have to marinate it.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-60789870695891908832007-07-18T16:38:00.000-04:002007-07-18T16:38:00.000-04:00wow another amazing post - it is so heart warming ...wow another amazing post - it is so heart warming that you have found your heaven - you always sound so happy and appreciative of everything around you. i don't think you should have fed the venison to the cats though! - venison here is a delicacy!Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-73447224383097586132007-07-18T12:42:00.000-04:002007-07-18T12:42:00.000-04:00Hey! i'm going to cali this sunday.. gonna be the...Hey! i'm going to cali this sunday.. gonna be there for a week, this is the site i was talking about where i made the extra cash. later!Jason hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052868039376137916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-39342034524779306962007-07-18T07:55:00.000-04:002007-07-18T07:55:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you think of your home as heaven.I can...I'm so glad you think of your home as heaven.<BR/>I can't say that where I live is heaven but I don't ever wanna leave. <I>There's no place like home</I> is one of the greatest truths ever.Krissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620291759637369340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-43109550718829165262007-07-18T00:40:00.000-04:002007-07-18T00:40:00.000-04:00I would agree...sounds heavenly:)I would agree...sounds heavenly:)IndianaJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197596501737545856noreply@blogger.com
