I want to be close enough to all the action but far enough out to be away from the negative aspects. I am know I am hugely biased b/c I am a <B>Texan</B> but it just seems like small towns in Texas are so charming and idyllic. :-)Mel :-)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06716654478028997335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771124748095460061.post-63745615329756769752008-04-25T09:04:00.000-04:002008-04-25T09:04:00.000-04:00you're right about smaller towns and public school...you're right about smaller towns and public schools - in our small town of Cornwall, NY - if you weren't in homeroom your mom got a phone call! higher expectations I think.<BR/>I hope your husband enjoys hearing D.M. speak - I'm still Searching For God Knows What!Stef Laytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778873105650629676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771124748095460061.post-38106422385667509372008-04-25T09:01:00.000-04:002008-04-25T09:01:00.000-04:00It is sad to see how Pearland has changed.

It grew to quickly and now all the charm that made everyone move to Pearland is going away--including the good schools.<BR/><BR/>check out this article on cutbacks in school, it probably means they will raise our already crazy property taxes even higher.<BR/><BR/>http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/khou080424_jj_schoolfunding.9766a8db.html?npcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771124748095460061.post-26431706249381473442008-04-24T22:25:00.000-04:002008-04-24T22:25:00.000-04:00Sometimes, a small town is a good thing....a nice ...Sometimes, a small town is a good thing....a nice thing. I agree with what you said about the public schools there. I know of Pearland, Texas. <BR/><BR/>Where we are, we had to really consider private school. We looked at the reasons for private vs public, the cost, and made a decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771124748095460061.post-54607523724892533082008-04-24T16:41:00.000-04:002008-04-24T16:41:00.000-04:00I never thought I would hear you say this.

I watched Donald Miller grow up and knew he would some day make his Momma proud. I love his Mom she was so much fun and Donald had her great personality. I wish I was there to hear him speak.<BR/><BR/>It may have been a small town, but it grew-up great people.<BR/><BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771124748095460061.post-64884939280312490622008-04-24T15:04:00.000-04:002008-04-24T15:04:00.000-04:00Blue Like Jazz!

Weird huh?? <BR/><BR/>I read that book when I was living in AK. Its a great book. Wonderful that you went to school with him.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765297327208036633noreply@blogger.com
