Your post sounds very sad Lori. Do you feel down today?

I can't imagine a town without a library!
I have always been a big ( and I mean big like London or Toronto)city girl, so when we first moved here, it was a little strange. The first couple of months I felt like I was on vacation, but then the novelty wore off and the reality of "too small" settled in. And the town that I am in has a good 100,000! But I quess your previous experience really plays hard on your perceptions.
Well, a city of close to one million is about 45 min. drive away - I used to visit all the time! I would pack the car, kids in the back, bikes attached, and I would be off for a day. It has helped tremendously. Now I don't need those "visits" to keep my sanity, but we go at least once a week (Ghost takes a class at the state flagship there).
I can only smile though, when my kids make comments indicating that they consider SLC a huge one - babies, they don't know the world yet.
So , I guess my question to Lori would be this - is there any way you can visit somewhere that feels more like you on a regular basis?
