When I first moved here from Birmingham I never imagined how much I'd find to love about living in a small town. Today was full of moments that made me smile. They are in no particular order :
1. Opening day for Little League baseball complete with the national anthem, the mayor throwing out the first pitch and the kids throwing their hats in the air like they'd won the World Series.
2. Watching the air show from a picnic blanket at a place called (wait for it) Cooter's Pond.
3. All the kids in their prom dresses and tuxedoes taking pictures downtown by the fountain.
4. Having an impromptu cookout with our neighbors while the kids literally roam the neighborhood until the street lights come on.
Long live small Southern towns.
