Even thought I have now lived in this small farming community for eighteen months, these are some of the things I am still trying to get used to going without...
1. Taco Bell
2. Target
3. My Family
4. My Friends (especially Mia & Hil)
5. Monday night Bible study
6. The mall
7. Restaurants open late (sometimes you just need a snack at midnight, but down here- you better know before 10p so you can make it to Sonic before it closes!)
8. Good Mexican food, even with more ethnicity in the area we live, I have not found any great food.
9. Stores to shop at (Ross, Barnes & Noble, Office Max)- Down here you pretty much have to take what you can get at Wal-Mart...
10. Being able to run to the store if you forgot something- not having to plan to get it in two weeks when we go back to town...
11. Cheaper gas prices (our town is typically 10-15 cents higher, even though it's the same chain)
12. This View...
13. Did I mention my family and friends???... (sometimes the loneliness can be hard to cope with...)
Check out some other Thursday Thirteens today! :-)

This is a familiar list. We also live in a small farming community.
How can anyone miss Taco Bell? I think there are too many in the city. I spent 8 months in a very small town and I don't live in a big city to begin with. I missed my friends and family. I think everybody does no matter where they get away to.
My Thursday Thirteen #76 is up. 13 Things about me that start with J.
Taco Bell? Of all the places you miss that one? You sound like a pregnant lady!! Oh, and I miss you too!
Beautiful photo!
I've never been to taco Bell, so I'd never miss it!
It looks like Colorado ----I lived in Colorado for over 40 years!!!!
And I know exactly what you mean about a podunk town! There is nothing there...Yep, yep, yep...boring. [I came from Denver to live in a medium sized town in Texas now...and I still can't get over the fact that a lot of things shut down at 9pm! Or don't open on Sundays]
My 13 movie stills is shared for T-13 this week. Come by if you can.
Mia- yes Taco Bell, And Mi Ranchito, and Romero's and especially Collettes!!! (See why I only mentioned Taco Bell? The others are all locals!) & I PROMISE- I AM NOT!!! LOL :-)
