A Day in the Life.....

AAAAHHHHH, the sweet life of country living. Warm summer breezes, views as far as the eye can see....

WRONG!! We've had road construction in front of our driveway for going on 5 days now. Meridian City is tying into the sewer line for the bathrooms they are putting across the street. That's right, when we moved here we were the only ones around. It was almost spooky because we were the only ones out here. That was 21 years ago. Even the babysitters got scared. NOW...there is a full blown 20 acre soccer park across the street. The place crawls with people EVERYWHERE! Now, I don't like to complain...well....maybe a little. But we DID move out here for a REASON and that reason was to be away from noise and now it's all about noise. To add insult to injury there will also be a Church next door that takes the place of all the lovely fields that grow everyone's....FOOD. So now, my husband searches diligently for a cabin get-away somewhere up in the mountains. We have been up there looking around several Saturdays. Can anybody relate out there???

When we first moved here my kids played "Kick the Can", played in the ditches, four wheeled, all things kids want to do and NEED to do but they are now 26, 24, 22. Now, my 6 year old has a new playground....
