I'm a Hero! My BIG Nite Out in Smalltown USA

[speckledhen]

LauraJean, you should read "Bingo Night at the Fire Hall" by Barbara Holland. I think you might see some similarity there to your little town.

It's one of my favorite books.

At least you had FUN!

Fiddle?? You would not believe how many people (think they) know how to play the harmonica in any given small town.... lol

LOL at your small town evening, but my small town has Beaver Day!

I'm glad you made so many kids happy!

I know, I was KICKING myself for not bidding on the quilt! What'd that go for, $3 bucks?

Incidentally, I DO play violin. I'm a novice and was trying to learn more fiddling style stuff a few years back but haven't been very diligent. When some of them played, I was seriously thinking to myself, "Oh my God, I could compete with these guys". If you knew how sad my playing is you'd know how bad theirs must have been, lol.

But yeah, it was a good time. I love the amusement of small town antics. Guess that's why I moved to one.

Guess its time for you to learn the fiddle....

That sounds right up my alley. I just checked Amazon but it doesn't show it available. Maybe I can find one on Ebay. Have you ever read "The Egg & I" by Betty MacDonald? Sounds like the same type thing. She writes about life on an egg farm in a small town. I love that book!

Update: Just ordered a used copy on Ebay for a buck! Thanks for the tip, it sounds like a funny book.

That was really interesting. I can't believe you were the highest bidder! It IS a shame you didn't bid on the quilt, but who knew?
