My town... in the news

The guy they interview (Adam) keeps his horses here on our property.

The house shown in the background of this video where the news guy is talking? My daughter's house.

Only if you believe (and squint just right)

There are some things you can't capture in a picture; you have to see them with your heart.

When we've been away from home all day, as we were today for a funeral, and drive into our town from the south, the street lights line up along the curve of the road in such a way that it forms a question mark.

When my children were small, I told them, "Our town is asking this question: "Why did you leave?"

I never found an adequate answer to the question, so we've stayed around here for the better part of the past 30-plus years.

So this evening I was going to take a picture to show my readers. A picture of the question mark.

And turns out, it only looks like a squiggle. But I swear, when you really, really see it... it's a question mark. And it really, really does say, "How could you leave this town?"

Perhaps someday my daughter can capture a picture with the lights actually looking like a question mark.
