And what prescriptions you just picked up at the pharmacy. Before you can get home to tell your husband that you are pregnant, the gals at the pharmacy have spread the word.

In the city, you don’t know everybody who is sick or who has died. In a small town, every illness and death is part of your life. Maybe that’s why it can be glum going. And it has been pretty glum here lately what with a slew of bad things shaking us all up as well as very bad weather to dampen our spirits. The up side is that pretty much everybody pulls together and pitches in to get people through rough times. No different I would imagine though from villages all over the world.
