Some things I like about the North Country:

1. lots and lots of grass
2. small-town parades
3. walking to church on Sunday mornings
4. breezes that smell like flowers and BBQs
5. friendly neighborhood folk

Some things I don't like about the North Country:

1. boneless skinless chicken breasts costing more than $3/lb
2. caterpillars being EVERYWHERE!
3. 85% humidity and no AC
4. restaurants being closed on Sundays
5. motorcycles driving past our house 100 times a day

  1. do the motorcycles keep kids from napping or sleeping at night? in harrisville even 4-wheelers are legal on the roads and during the summer you can hear them drive by at every hour of the night. i don't know what i'd do with a baby here. does madrid get those tent worms terribly?

  2. I agree as well. Except I can't walk to church on Sunday's. Too bad too, that would be nice! The caterpillars are SICK! C-Ya Sunday.

  4. Chicken is very expensive here. The first few months here we did not eat meat very often. It was so expensive. We finally found a place that sells meat packages that ar eresonable. So we get them one a month.
    I love small town life so much.

  5. At Price Chopper in Ogdensburg, boneless chicken is $1.88 a pound until Saturday. We'll be stocking up on it for such a great price!

  6. I wish I could be of some help to you Friday or Saturday. Friday I have, yet another, doctor's appointment and Saturday is our Ladies Brunch. Sorry to have to pass up on a visit! Next week looks better (for now). What about Thursday?
