This book, with the setting in a real place with a fictional name, and real characters that keep coming up in more than one story, reminds me of it.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-42891502767047442032016-08-10T21:02:56.945-04:002016-08-10T21:02:56.945-04:00You don't mean they MADE them, do you??

No regard for history, family roots, love of the country here, or the siphoning off of the tax base here. It's difficult to uproot lives to follow the money.<br /><br />Your flowers are gorgeous, as usual!Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-14701218996305044552016-08-10T09:14:06.708-04:002016-08-10T09:14:06.708-04:00This is the case with a lot of people where I live...This is the case with a lot of people where I live. They love the area so they work out a way to stay here. Many work 2 or 3 jobs.

What a sensible concept, to choose your location and then figure out how to earn a living there. I know these days many people do that from poverty, not choice, but if it was otherwise, it would transform everything. <br /><br />I always learn such nice things from you, Nan!
