We didn't exactly move to the country. At least not by my definition. Country to me means dirt roads and lots-o-corn, and people that say "howdy" a lot, and tornados... and an hours drive to the nearest Gap. Currently our new home does not match any of those criteria. HOWEVER - that will not stop me from jokingly, and lovingly, referring to our new village as "the country".
So... country people sure are nice! Maggie and I went to the grocery store this morning and everyone had a smile for us. It may have had something to do with the fact that my daughter says "Hi!" to every single person that crosses her path, but hey, I'll take a smile any day. Strangers were talking to us, baggers were offering to help us, it was like being in Oz or something - what is this strange place... oh that's right, it's The Country!
