What does living in a small town teach you?
"Living in a small town teaches you that everyone is your neighbor and that you should be there with helping hand, everyone looks out after one another, and are quick to jump in when the snow gets too high or the leaves get too deep. I'm very lucky to live in a small town, a small community that takes pride in its history and its appearance."
