PORCH PONDERINGS

A Buckeye

What did you like / dislike about where you grew up? What do you like / dislike about where you live now?

I grew up in Jefferson, Ohio. That is a small town in NE Ohio. My neighborhood was quiet. We had a small gang of kids that ran around in the woods or from house to house. Small school, great education I guess. My grandparents lived next door and an aunt and uncle next to them. Lots of family always around it seemed. But I left home as soon as I could.

I like the town I now live in. Roundup, MT is north of Billings. It reminds me of the town where I grew up. I like that I can walk or ride my bike everywhere. But I do wish I was closer to the mountains. I do like my little home. Hubby wanted to be out in the country. But we’re glad to be in town as we get older.

We are close to a big city for shopping, but live in a small town. We can always drive a ways to be in mountains if we wish. So I guess it is a good compromise.
