Every week, I'm sure I've found a question that's going to stump me, but I'm discovering more and more that my brain kicks right in and starts running away with the answer faster than I can get it down here.

This week's question:
Give your city (or town or region) a new name that reflects what type of place it is, and explain why you chose that name.

This one is almost too easy. I would rename it Farmville and then I would chuckle as people thought I'd lost my mind and thought I was living in a Facebook game. I might even let them think that. It could make life interesting for a while, unlike life here in the village. I often say that I live in the middle of nowhere, Michigan, and I like it that way. It's quiet here. Nobody bothers anyone else and for the most part, the town is surrounded by fields and farms. Did I mention that it's quiet? Often the only sound I hear is when the train happens to come through on the track at the edge of the village. Sure, there are downsides but they're so minimal that they don't even count to me. I only notice them when other people are horrified that the closest fast food place is 10 miles away and the closest Starbucks is something like 18 miles. That's okay. My health would be far worse if I had easy access. I like the quiet, the sense of not being isolated, but being on my own.

How about you? What would you name where you live?

Wow, I almost didn't get this picture in today. I knew exactly what picture I wanted for the Sunday Shutterbugs theme of old and I just couldn't find it. Thank goodness for Flickr and the fact that I had uploaded it there. Ok, again, not taken recently. I took this back over the summer. I seriously need to get out there with my camera and start taking some pictures. Between being sick with strep and letting life just overwhelm me, I haven't done it. Now, no more excuses..hopefully I'll actually follow the rules for next week's theme and take it that week. I guess we'll see what life throws at me with Thanksgiving and company coming in from out of town.



So, this is picture for this week's theme. This is our newspaper office here in Sunfield. I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but above where it says The Sunfield Sentinel, it says established 1889. I'd say that's old! Oooh...speaking of old, Happy Birthday, Justin! *grins and goes to hide before he sees this*

This week's (almost) Wordless Wednesday post comes right off my camera. Today as a treat, the boys and I stopped into Sunfield Coffee Company and got some lunch. We probably shouldn't have on a financial level but on a family level, it was just what we needed. We needed to get out of the house, enjoy something tastey and each other's company. To see other photos that were taken on our adventure today, feel free to hop over to our flickr account. The link is in the blog header for pictures or photos or umm..something like that. So, without anymore babbling, here is the delicious lunch that I had today!
