Necessities of Life!





We finally made it out and about the area to visit some of the neighboring townships. Living in Garrettsville, we have access to 2 grocery stores, a hardware store, movie theater, dollar store, a couple of gas stations, a pharmacy and 3 fast food places. Oh, I forgot, there is also a GM car dealership. Needless to say, we do a lot of traveling outside the area to find stores that carry what we need.

We had a real treat the other day when we were in Middlefield looking for a WalMart. Unique to Ohio and few other places, we found parking spaces created for Amish buggys and horses. It was fun! Middlefield is an Amish community just 20 minutes from where we live. It's only about 12 miles but this is another thing I have noticed, in Utah we refer to travel by miles. Here, because of the two lane country roads all over the place, we talk travel by time. We are only 35 miles from Kirtland but it takes an hour no matter which route we take.

We finally have a P-Day so will try to get up to Costco so we can try to renew our "at home" experience. =) We surely have missed Costco. (By the way, they are only an hour from here!)

That is great to see those buggies. We have some Amish communities not too far from us too. I've never seen anything like that parked at the WalMart though. Pretty cool!

Hope you are well. Things are going fine here.

We love you.

Love, Neal

That make Walmart look a little out of place. Just bring up something left behind. Have you seen any Amish quilts. I know that they are so beautiful and all handmade. If you can get a picture of one I would love to see it.
Sounds like you two are having quite an adventure. May the Lord continue to bless you. Wilson's
