I'm glad you're still posting here.  Maybe with some requests from you, they will start to carry more items you need. 4951

Does it close super early too? When I lived in a small town west of Katy, the one grocery store closed at 8:00. There were times I would drive 45 minutes to the nearest HEB when I really needed something later than that. 4951

Being in a small town means you are probably far from all your doctors.
Where did you go? 4951

@Mahm: I am not really sure, I will have to look and see.  I know the restaurants close at 8.  The closest HEB is an hour away.  I told DH he is going to come home one day and there will be an extra fridge full of seafood.

@thetarget9:I love it so far-I told my DH I didn't want to leave town or the little subdivision I am in.  I have a neighbor across the street but woods are on 3sides.  We have deer and birds in our yard daily.  Our dd caught her first striper over the weekend.  It makes me want to learn how to fish.  @lola: I am having all my meds delivered to me b/c the nearest pharmacy is about an hour away. I still plan on seeing all the same specialist but it is just going to take some work timing out the appointments so they are on the same day or two.  There is a medical facility and small hospital going in within the next year.  We weighed the pros and cons and decided was the best thing for us(and me). 4951

@RogueHippEE:
What town? Sounds like what we are looking for.
You can now start a garden and save tons of money. You will have to fence it or the wildlife will think you opened a bed n breakfast.
I'm so happy you are enjoying your move.

@beadweaver: We have a fence, but I think it needs to be a bit taller-the deer jump the fence.  I think we are going to section off a small portion of the yard with a larger barrier.  We moved to a small community b/t Trinity and Livingston.  We are right on Lake Livingston.  I know you were talking about getting an RV-they have tons of places for that.  It's kinda neat-there are $500.000 homes with an RV park less than 1/4mile away Emoticon  @sh56-all the land that can be sold has-no more house building here Emoticon  I made sure of that before we moved.

@RogueHippEE: Not considered small, unless that was a typo and you meant 500.
Where I grew up in the farm country, the nearest town had a population of 467 (went by that sign every week going into town) 4951
