I love being able to go to Des Moines quickly and get everything I need but can get 7 minutes west and start hitting small towns like that. I'm glad when I grew up my town I live in still was more like a small town outside of a suburb of Des Moines, it's so much bigger now, but back then , it looked more like those pictures and everyone knew everyone, we played outside til dark, and we could walk all over town without our parents worrying because everyone always watched out for everyone. Feeling a little nostalgic now. :)Not Everyones Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058177145501733421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-77781281751717713492012-07-18T04:09:01.521-04:002012-07-18T04:09:01.521-04:00Fleamarket, mmm :) My heart starts beating faster ...Fleamarket, mmm :) My heart starts beating faster when I see such a signs!Nika Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718424106469290980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-72184313811913527802012-07-18T01:22:04.395-04:002012-07-18T01:22:04.395-04:00I love these pics.

As Missourians we applaud you for recognizing the wonderful culture, the abandoned farms, the geography and everything joyful about this part of the world. Thank you!Ann B.
