Out claim to fame: a few years ago the family next to this teeny tiny carryout, won $100,000 in the lottery. Big news for here. Damn if he didn't do it again this year, but this time was part of a group and he got $28 million!
We have one bank, a little tiny post office, a restaurant

My Dad grew up on a farm here. My kids went to the same school I did, and my Dad started here in the one room school house.
I really envy you having lived in the same place all your life. We moved around some and I found it difficult having to make new friends all the time. I made sure my children lived in the same place all their years through school.
I had a guy tell me once at a store "If you're not a (maiden name) you should be" I guess we all look alike. I only have 85 first cousins on my dad's side!

My husband and I bought a house a year before we got married, we'll live here forever

Can you tell I like this place?
