Small Town Living

As many of you know, we live in Lynden. We've lived here now for 16 years (in December). When we moved here the population was a whopping 7,500. No, I didn't leave off a zero either. Talk about culture shock!! But refreshing at the same time. Now the town population increased to 11,700. We helped with that increase by 1!! What do we love about this town? Here's just a few reasons. Lynden is:
  • A town where a hand shake is just as good as a written contract.
  • A town where a stranger sees you struggling with a toddler in one arm and packages in another and honestly wants to carry your packages to your car.
  • A town where people say "Good Morning/Afternoon" to you when you walk on the trail.
  • And a town where this is in front of someones house
Total and complete "honor system". See the lock box on the left, front of the table? And the best part? The corn is DELICIOUS!!! I think this will be a corn overdose weekend.
WE LOVE LIVING IN LYNDEN!!!

It's too bad downtown sort of fell apart. My favorite part of living there was being able to walk Front Street to town to pick up something from the bakery or Hallmark.
