Last time we visited, I griped about petty small town busybodies. Today I want to rejoice in lovely small town customs.
We've been living in temporary quarters in a townhouse for almost a year. Adjacent to our neighborhood is a lovely three street neighborhood.
Last Saturday most of the residents participated in a community yard sale. In addition to the usual yard sale items, kids made and sold snow cones, lemonade, hot dogs and other treats. People who weren't selling were still out visiting with neighbors and those from outside the neighborhood who came to shop.
It was lovely to spend half an hour on a friend's porch watching the comings and goings.
Just now I came home to find many yards festooned with a sign from a local Realtor congratulating the 2011 graduates of Selinsgrove High School with the name of the graduate from that home written in calligraphy.
We'll be in the Valley one year next week. I give it an A+.

Small Community Life at Its WORST
My good friends at Mostly Romance contacted me to ask if I knew what was going on right under my nose in Snyder County.
Can you say shocked and appalled! ! !
A local high school teacher writes books and they are PUBLISHED! ! ! But that's not all . . . they contain erotica.
Since we are so late coming to this party, I will direct you to an interview with Judy Mays that appeared in Publisher's Weekly.
PLEASE watch the video at the bottom of the interview labeled Team Judy made by one of her former students Cody Kratzer. Priceless.
Things have died down here in the community but not for Judy. Her Facebook page was recently removed because of "community violations." There is no appeal or remedy. The few baseless whiners are continuing to be heard.
Judy is still being supported and posting on Facebook on a page created by two folks Judy didn't even know. Head on over and give it a LIKE . . . it's a good thing.
This has been the only negative in our almost one year here . . .
Idiotic, small-minded people will always be among us but this sorry excuse for a news outlet television station is just . . . hmmmmm, I wonder when their license renewal is . . .

As I was saying . . .
It has been awhile.
We've moved cross country. It has been quite an adventure!
For the last thirty-six years, we've lived in my husband's native North Texas. Now we are living in the Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania - not too far from Plymouth Meeting where I grew up.
We only have a few items for sale but come Fall that will be picking up.
Meanwhile, I do have an adventure to share with you from my new home town.
Do you know who Judy Mays is?
We'll pick up on THAT story tomorrow.
