Karla, thank you for reading and sharing. The majority of my teaching was in small towns. One was a blessed place to raise a family.

You’re most welcome, Richard. My career was the same. I love my small town lives. It’s fun to travel~but it’s so good to be a part of a community, too {I miss my RV communities!}.

Jim, thanks for sharing a thought. During my life of living in many smaller communities, there is much to treasure from them. Living in Columbus these past several years, I still try to find such a place.
