Small towns - The same everywhere


Frannie, Deaver, Cowley - all towns in Wyoming.  All small, proud communities that want to do what's best for their citizens.  We have seen some beautiful museums, parks and Community Centers.  Some of these towns list 50, 72, 122 as their populations; but they still want to provide for their communities.  In this area of Wyoming there is a lot of farming.  These are beautiful examples of the pride these folks have.  Then I must share a little humor about small America Towns.      First you have the used car dealership as seen here from Frannie.  Then there is the guy going home for lunch with the tractor and harrow, taking up the entire road - but who cares and the local long horn herd and it's not even Texas.  The really neat thing we have found is the areas that honor the veterans as shown here in Lovell with the mural  on the building and a beautiful park.  The other thing about small towns is the pace.  My dad used to say that "Time means nothing to a cow."   I've thought about that and he was right - if you're feeding cows or irrigating the crop it gets done when it gets done.  Finally over a year after I retired, I'm slowing down.  Hmmmm on to Emblem, Wyoming tomorrow.
