Your gateway to endless inspiration
Another event in rural life: going into town. Nearest store is a convenience store, with minimal food, drinks and cigarettes, and that's almost two miles away. Nearest grocery is almost 18 miles away, and they charge mountain tax (more expensive because they're the only game around). Going into town is a 45 minute drive, one way, and you group all your errands so as to save gas.
Today was 11 different errands, from securing a new V belt for the mower, to medical issues, to a grocery pickup. Nine hours later, and we're done. I'm exhausted, grimy, sweaty, and there's still food to put away.
