[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 719312, member: 1233"] My dad grew up in a town, sorry - a city, that occupies one square mile. The town next door also occupies one square mile. Both are basically in Cinci. When my dad grew up, he was mostly related to the town. BIG Catholic families and everyone was a cousin or married to a cousin. The house he grew up in was next to my grandma's older sister's house (my great aunt's house). Across from my Great Aunt's house was their brother's house. My aunt still owns my grandma's house. One of the cousins now owns my great uncle's house. Within four blocks I can barely throw a rock without hitting six relatives. You want to talk about people all up in your business? The older generations were always willing to help out. I used to love sitting around in the kitchen listening and watching as they cooked. Especially if they put me to work. I learned the most interesting things when they forgot I was there! I hope Candy enjoys life in this smaller town and that Ferbs relationship never gives her unpleasant notoriety. I remember when we moved to OK. The town we live in had 50K people at the time, plus the college kids. It seemed so teeny after life in Cincinnati!! I loved it most of the time!! It seemed so safe and quaint. It was easier to get to bookstores here too, and that was my priority. Still is, actually. Sadly we only have a used one now. I learned my way around town by finding all the bookstores and learning if they were college books or fiction books. Mercy, can you tell I was a geek? Enjoy your life on your farm!! [/QUOTE]
