After Aunt Ida called, I sat for hours thinking about returning home - not only the home I knew above the art emporium but the town itself. Calling it a town is being generous. Minniville is Main Street, a scattering of farms, a few family plots of land dotted with make shift dwellings, and the mountains. Minniville is a place where all grades are taught in one school house, literally it was a house. A football field and/or baseball diamond with bleachers was nonexistent - I see them everywhere here. That’s not to say we didn’t play ball games, we did just on dirt lots and not at all organized. There wasn’t much of a population with or without including the folks who live on and some say in the mountains at the end of Main Street. How Minniville came to be I don’t know and never really gave it much thought until now.
Looking forward to the next challenge.
Thank you for this, especially the examples!
