"To read the papers and listen to the news....one would think the country is in terrible trouble. You do not get that impression when you travel the back roads and the small towns do care about their country and wish it well."
Charles Kuralt
Many, many thanks to all of you who take time out of your day to read what I see fit to publish. This marks my 1,000 post here on It's a Small Town Life.

ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of post, Michelle! May we see many more posts from you : )
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I enjoy every post!!
ReplyDeleteI often wonder how nice it would be if the news would disappear for a month or two. I'm pretty sure we would see more optimism.
ReplyDeleteHappy 1000th post! How exciting :-) Cute little shop front.
ReplyDeleteYou have blessed us well:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 1000th post. I love your small town photos, too. I come from a small town and sometimes it feel like what goes on in the news and what happens in my neck of the woods are many worlds apart. God bless our Country!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the milestone. "On the Road" with Charles Kuralt was a must see every week and I think it's somewhat responsible for my wanderlust. Loved his travels and stories. Sharing your stories and photos is just another of wandering the country.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 1000 posts! That's quite a milestone.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch much news for this very reason.
Blessings,
Betsy
