I like to live in a little town where the trees meet across the street. Where you wave your hand and say “hello'' to everyone you meet. I like to stand for a moment outside the grocery store and listen to the “friendly'' gossip of the Folks that live next door, for life is interwoven with the “friends'' we learn to know and we hear their joys and sorrows as we daily come and go. So I like to live in a little town I care no more to roam for every house in a little town is more than a house. It's home.
