Livin in a small town.....

So I was on facebook the other night and I see people who recieve these "smiles" from their friends and above that they put, "These smiles make my day.." Well you know what makes my day? Driving through Utica, Ky every morning. I've lived in that small town ever since I was in diapers.(Thank you LB for that suggestion)Driving through Utica in the morning is very peaceful to me. You see the town start to wake up...well half of the town is already up by then. You hear the birds chirping, the sun rising, the Thompson's getting all their tractors ready for the day ahead. BUT my favorite place to drive by is JR's Market.,..also called Miriam's. Miriam's is the hang out for most everyone in the morning...mainly older gentlemen ...hence my grandfather and all his friends. Lol. So everytime I pass there a whole bench-ful of elderly men wave at me and my mother. That really makes my day...and sometimes when we have the windows down they shout good morning to Larry's grandaughter. It's just a sight to see...let me tell you. I love living in a town where everyone knows who you are and they know your whole family. Out in the country you don't have those big city lights or loud noise...Us Uticians go to sleep to the sound of crickets in the night. I would never want to live anywhere else but in a small town....
