While there are drawbacks to living in small towns…towns that are so small that everyone knows everyone (you know~the type you have to do your hair and get dressed up to go to your mailbox), there are way more benefits. Such as,

Full service gas station: yep, for real. They pump the gas and wash the windows.

Ran out of butter? No worries. Just call the manager of the local grocery store and he’ll drop some off on his way home. Literally.

Notice you have a flat tire after you are done rounding at the hospital but you have to get to the clinic to see patients? No problem…the local full service station mentioned above will come pick up your car and fix it~and have it back in the same parking space by lunch!

Adam went to the local farm/home supply store and when he was checking out noticed they had peanut butter eggs by the checkout. He grabbed one (knowing they are my most favoritest thing in the world!) but then was short in change when he went to the pay. The owner said…that is ok, Adam…take it~Shana deserves it.

The local subway starts preparing your favorite sandwich when they see your car pull up.

There are sooo many more examples. What kind of things have happened to you?
