A Mayberry Moment... in St. Marys

So, this summer, I'm baby-sitting in St. Marys. Technically, I'm more like a day nanny as I also do the cooking and some cleaning. Anyway, my kid and I were walking to the bank, and this guy was walking toward us. I smiled and said, "Hi," and he smiles, touches the brim of his hat, and says, "Howdy, ma'am." Now, in all my eighteen years in and around St. Marys, that has never happened to me before. It was awesome! I love those smalltown moments.
Also, Mom and I leave tomorrow morning for our roadtrip! We'll be going to an Andrew Peterson concert near Milwaukee, then seeing "Wicked" on Broadway in Chicago. I am so excited!
Love to the people who still read this!
