The letter written by this block on page 76 tells of a city girl marrying a farmer and adjusting to the list, at first hating it and then later getting to love it.

We have lived in a tiny neighborhood out in the country since my son was in Kindergarten (so 14 years ago??) our town is 10 min away and then bigger cities are 30 min away and whenever I go there I always get so annoyed and tense, I don’t like the crowds, the traffic, the busyness of it all, I always breathe easier when I drive west on the highway toward home. I do remember thinking we were SO far out when we first moved here, it’s funny how things change like that.

Is anyone playing along? I don’t see any comments on any link ups!! Please comment and let me know!
