This is cute. The one about the fair is my favorite:)
Thank you It was a fun list to pull together
Oh wow! I THOUGHT I grew up in the country. The fair was our big event and it was BIG! Everybody knew everybody, and I grew up on a dirt road, but there are several that I couldn’t claim. You know what though…I tell my husband all the time I am a small town girl. I wouldn’t have it any other way!!! Great post.
