My closest "big" town is 18 miles away, & closest real grocery store about 12 miles. But to get there I don't have to drive congested roads, I get to take country roads, where the scenery changes daily, and considering I have no traffic or stop lights, it doesn't take that long to get there. It's funny to me that you brought this up, because I was just telling my someone the other day that for the first time in a long time I finally feel like I'm home. I'm so glad that you get to experience that feeling too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-11688973623493900152007-06-07T11:04:00.000-04:002007-06-07T11:04:00.000-04:00You know, it's funny, I was really apprehensive ab...You know, it's funny, I was really apprehensive about moving so far out, and there are times I miss being in a more urban setting. I miss being able to take a quick drive to the mall, or having a grocery store around the corner (our closest one is a 15 minute drive!), or being close to museums. My daughter seems really happy out here, though, and I don't worry about her running around outside like I used to. Maybe I'm the one whose less anxious!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900746787671291548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-23293147603819461742007-06-07T09:04:00.000-04:002007-06-07T09:04:00.000-04:00Hi Jen...it sounds as if you've really found "home...Hi Jen...it sounds as if you've really found "home" and don't miss the city at all. When my son was little he used to wake up in the dead of night or just before dawn too... rarely would he go back to sleep. These days he's a night owl like Mom and can play music til all hours, like Mom. It sounds as if you've set up home outside the suburbs, where it's really peaceful and serene - that is really great for children. I believe children that grow up in urban centers are more anxious and stressful than those that are raised in the calm outside the city and city suburbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400596473404565623.post-2988898924747983742007-06-07T08:22:00.000-04:002007-06-07T08:22:00.000-04:00That is indeed a peaceful time of the night/mornin...That is indeed a peaceful time of the night/morning.
