Stay tuned, you never know when the next one will pop up.<BR/><BR/>Stella - It would have been nice to grow up in a small town. "Growing up in a small town" isn't that a Mellencamp song?<BR/><BR/>Beckie - I was hesitant to use the baby but I couldn't think of anything else, it just popped into my head. News of a double murder in the city wood last for a day where I live and then the media would move on to some incredible movie premier.<BR/><BR/>1,200 people, that's pretty intimate. My mother-in-law grew up in a small town, population 350 including livestock.<BR/><BR/>Cheers to all<BR/>BBStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14084675.post-1130003531761920142005-10-22T12:52:00.000-05:002005-10-22T12:52:00.000-05:00Very funny.

It was the baby story that made me start doubting. : ) My kids really are growing up in a small town and will have childhood memories somewhat like these. Our town is only 1,200 people strong...although we do, unfortunately, need our police force (if you can call it a force, that's laughable). In the last year our bank was robbed and just a couple weeks ago 2 employees of a truck-stop/gas station were murdered. (We live by a major interstate) But those occurences are so rare that they sent our little town reeling for weeks, maybe months.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...we're talking smalltown America here. At it's best.

I will eventually post another.<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/>I'll remember that and weave it into my next story. Kangaroos, dolphins and dogs have all been done.

Not because of time, but because I don't feel that I have any skills when it comes to writing. I have had people tell me that they like reading my posts because my writing style is easy to read. I can take those comments as, I write like a sixth grader, or that there is a glimmer of talent that I possess. <BR/>BBStronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795381642029132764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14084675.post-1129908919813047942005-10-21T10:35:00.000-05:002005-10-21T10:35:00.000-05:00Hmmm, I sense the makings of a novel.

Maybe you could work on one in your spare time! :) Of course, there's always NaNoWriMo, just a one month commitment to novel writing insanity!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894631336116945550noreply@blogger.com
