Afternoon, Day 204

It was 71 degrees today. Perfect weather for sitting on the front porch in the sun eating an orange.

Ghost Town, Day 127

I am concerned about the little town I live in. Businesses are closing- small businesses AND large chain stores alike. One family that we are close to is moving away because there is no work here and their unemployment checks will be ending soon. My other neighbors just closed their cleaning business because they lost their major clients. Although Lafayette is still a wonderful place to live, I wonder how another year with this frightful economy will be change the feel of our little town.
