I live in a tiny town compared to the city I was in before, and I would have felt more comfortable in the city doing something like that than here in our little town. Unfortunately, here, it's not an everyone knows everyone kind of place. We're a bit rural; I live on 13 acres of land, 1300 feet back from a public road. My road is private; I have 1 other neighbor. Your town reminds me of Little House (we're reading that now). Hopefully minus Nellie Oleson.Kristin....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04577486067704642675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121112544008479313.post-66655694829640831002008-05-11T09:30:00.000-05:002008-05-11T09:30:00.000-05:00That is very cool and it's surprising to me how ha...That is very cool and it's surprising to me how hard it is to RELATE. Which is alarming, you know?<BR/><BR/>Here's something that gets me: CARSEATS. How did you get all five kids home? Was it close enough that you didn't need 3 cars seats and 2 boosters? Is that okay to do that?<BR/><BR/>Because I feel like we could do a lot more with our newphews and boys if we could TRANSPORT all of us in some reasonable fashion. Carseats really limit our ability to do anything outside the house. That sounds absurd, I know, but it really is a barrier. I'm all for safety, etc., but there has GOT to be a better way.<BR/><BR/>I feel a post of my own coming on...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170500094049647497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121112544008479313.post-19758893155809673602008-05-11T01:02:00.000-05:002008-05-11T01:02:00.000-05:00ALMOST compensation for no Target.

Before we moved to our current area, we were near DC, and nobody was going anywhere without five notes, three phone calls, and a partridge in a pear tree. I actually got accused of kidnapping once when I brought one of Josie's friends home with us from school and her mother hadn't passed on the info to her grandmother, who usually met her at the bus stop. The principal called my house and started screaming at me that I had kidnapped the girl! Funny, I thought kidnappers took kids somewhere where you didn't know where they were. Anyway, I have been very leery about picking up anyone's kids for them ever since.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2121112544008479313.post-3257116536596618752008-05-09T14:50:00.000-05:002008-05-09T14:50:00.000-05:00Wow, that is amazing.
