Richwoods was my Friday night destination of choice, and surprisingly, exploring it was a nice distraction from how much I miss my Friday nights in New York City. On Sunday afternoon, I took a walk through downtown Farmington, Missouri. There was practically no automobile traffic, and there was even less pedestrian traffic. I posted photos earlier this summer of my fledgling garden: One of the best parts of living back in Small Town, Missouri is having a dog again. I love New York City, but a 200 square-foot apartment is no place for a dog to live. On Friday night, I went to my first Relay for Life in ten years or so. Luckily for Missourians, one of the world’s tallest rocking chairs calls our fair state its home. |
