The Eagles sang, "Life in the Fast Lane...surely makes you lose your mind." I could write, "Life in the small town everybody knows your name, your kids, and your business."
This week we've done parent conferences and after my day in court on Tuesday. Most parents have wanted to go there. "So I heard you were in court with the ____." "Terrible what happened to_____. Oh wait, you were there." Thankfully, these things make me laugh. Come on folks you know we can't talk about that! However, that is part of the charm of our little part of the world.
Today I had an 87 year old WWII vetern come and speak to the kids. They were sooooo good. He was delightful!!!! And they learned things they never knew. He had us at surviving the Tsunami at sea in 1944. WOW!!! Being hit by Japanese torpedos and living. It was a great learning experience.
Now we are grilling steaks and ready to enjoy our family. Love my guys!

Sounds like you had interesting conferences! We had tornado warning last night at my conferences!
Have you listened to John Mellencamp's song "Small Town"? It is great. Is the WWII veteran also from your town? There are many treasures to be found in small towns!
Ah, WWII vets are so few these days. :( It sounds like a fantastic experience for your kids. One that not many will have the chance to hear in just a few more years. Yes, small towns are small, but awesome. :)
