If I walk a mile I can visit an historic cemetery that has monuments dating back to the early 1800s. Within five miles, I can find a grocery, a bank, my church, the elementary school that my husband and daughter both attended, a fire department, an auction house, a post office, and a tire shop/garage. I do live in the country so I am actually surprised at what all I do have within 5 miles!<br />Connie<br />cps1950(at)gmail(dot)comConnie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-65946234830907503602017-08-19T19:56:53.899-04:002017-08-19T19:56:53.899-04:00Can't get to much within half a mile except ne...Can't get to much within half a mile except neighbors' houses.
