Nannyde wrote an interesting article about moving to another town in Iowa and adapting her son and daycare business to the neighborhood. I decided to publish it on her blog even though its not a story about daycare but her life experience. As always, Nannyde has a great take on events and situations. You can read it here:

It's kind of off topic... but what the heck.

I have to say that I am jealous.
This is the life that I would have loved to provide my children and my grandchildren.

Oh I really enjoyed reading that, makes me almost want to move. I chuckled at the part of GammaWinda's grandson's affections being swayed over by Snickers a.k.a. kale, etc. Nannyde, you do have a way with words.
Just curious, what is the population of Northwood? My town has around 6000 but nowhere near the hometown feeling yours has.

Nan where you live sounds like a story book. Or like something you would only see in a moive.
One day I want to live on a farm with all of the free open area and green grass you speak about, but none of my family want to live with m. so I may be milking cows on my own....I don't know why I want to, I don't even drink milk.......

After growing up in the woods... moving to a big city for a few years in another state... here I am back in the woods.. mere miles from where I grew up.
I also can NOT imagine living ANYWHERE else... or raising my kids anywhere else.
I would never trade walking outside and seeing nothing but trees... no neighbors... no crime...
Your article was a great read Nan and I completely identify.

So glad you found "the" place NannyDe!

I am SO going to take a picture of downtown Pelahatchie, MS and post it tomorrow LOL.. even though I don't really live IN town... out here they call it "between communities"... lolNannyDe's Northwood Iowa and my town of Springville Utah !!!
Same small town feel
and FYI... when we lost our ONE red light in the middle of town years ago... I cried.. it was like the end of an era... now there are just ugly stop signs there... and 4 flashing red lights haha and of course it's only two total lanes in ours... one east and one west.
ETA::: I am a little jealous though that other than a WARDS and a Subway in the chevron, there's no food to be found anywhere around here!! There is only one park but it's 10 minute drive into town from our house... SIGH>>>> NOTHING BUT TREES... lol..
