Small Towns

"A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't."
~ Burt Bacharach

In the small town of Hitterdal, MN, my Grandma Mamie lived on the main street at the edge.

Whenever we would stay over, Grandma would make these amazing meals from scratch, and as a treat we would walk down to "Ma's Store" and buy a bag of penny and nickle candy.
Sometimes we would go to "Jigg's cafe" for a slice of white cake, with lemon filling and seven-minute-frosting while the elders sat around sipping coffee and talking.








Now Grandma, along with Ma's and Jigg's are long gone, but the memories are still there. If you were fortunate to grow up in a small town, you were lucky indeed.
