We moved to the outskirts of society almost 4 years ago now.
We live in a town that boasts a population of under 100!!
The closest "big" city is about 30 miles away, with a population of around 2000.
That city hosts a whopping 3 fast food restaurants: McD's, KFC, and DQ (which finally moved to a location with a drive thru! ~ Yippee! Because with 4 children, we pretty much only do drive-thrus).
At least they also have a Wal-Mart. Otherwise, to do any REAL shopping, we have to either take a 2 hour road trip or buy online.
Most of the downfalls to living on the edge of civilization have something to do with technology, material goods or convenience. Oh, did I forget to mention the lack of social interactions? So that too.
But there are some benefits. One of them being the lack of social interactions. ;) It can be on both lists. Our neighbors aren't within spitting distance. And if we had the partying type of neighbors, they are far enough away that we probably wouldn't even hear them. Which is good because that means they can't hear the foul language flying out of our house or yard on occasion. One of the best things by far has to be that we don't have to take mowing the lawn seriously!
Anyway, sit back and enjoy the ride, it may actually be entertaining once in a while.

I've been on the ride with you for the past four years, and was wondering if we could let Sally off for a while, or at least stop and get her a bath. :)
