[ Hi Poochie, gosh small towns are great. Are you interested in anything in the creative arts? I know that even small towns have thrift shops. I do mosaics out of discarded things, cups, plates, etc. It has really been fun. I read like you do also. I am lucky I guess to live in a tourist community, so things are busy in my direction in fla. I don't eat out often, but enjoy being outdoors just for the nature when I can. A new hobby could be fun when enjoyed with a friend too.
