There is something weird about writing about places you used to know or love because, as it happens with people, there will always be someone who disagrees with what you have to tell about them...

Where I live now is the place I grew up in, same house. My husband, son and I purchased my mom's house in 2010 after she passed away.

So many changes in this area. Our house was once on a dirt road and now a traffic light. Houses and a golf course replaced the fields

My grandparents and dad grew up in this same small town - yes, like a freaking John Cougar Mellencamp song. I know!

I used to laugh at our town and wanted to move as far away as possible; it took me years to admit I have ties here.

Our town isn't so bad. It's very quaint. A town I used to laugh at (husband still does) we now frequent many of the small businesses and restaurants
