I remember one time when I was stopped for speeding, the policeman called my mom to check to make sure I could have the car out. Teachers and friend's parents dated my parents so we were all connected!<br /><br />Small towns have a wonderful feeling. I moved to Michigan and found another small town for my children to grow up in. There's something safe about growing up where everyone watches out for each other... although the nosy neighbors can be an issue! :)<br /><br />If anyone gets to Amherst, I highly recommend stopping at O'Armours Hot Dog Heaven. Their cheesy fries are to die for!Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-83917788059594966262015-02-09T10:30:06.425-05:002015-02-09T10:30:06.425-05:00What a great excerpt.
