Posting from Nashville, Michigan

This is a something I never thought to do in this place. I've been up to Michigan to visit family and I set up today to drive through my old home town, Nashville, Michigan. It's in Barry County and the joke is that you know you live in Barry County if you mow your yard and find a car. My son is doing a class at ACC and sent me a paper to proof read, so I needed a place to go where I could set up my computer and check my mail. So here I am in Putnam District Library - my library from 6th to 12th. It's in an old house with books in every corner. I'm in what what was the dining room, looking at a beautiful fireplace surround that is still here. I've just been checked out by the library cat and they just finished story hour for the kiddos. Amazing. 40 years ago I haunted this place for books, now they have books and open wifi. Wow. Sometimes when you come home things are better than they used to be.
