» Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - Sounds Great To Me.

Have you ever lived in a small community?

I love it, but it does have its drawbacks. If you speed or take driftwood home from the beach or cut someone off, you'll get caught by someone you know! (that's probably good if you have teens). You never go out without seeing someone you know - at the library, store, pharmacy, post office, coffee shop - and it's mostly good except for when you haven't showered in a week and are wearing your grubbiest clothes and don't feel like talking to anyone but your cat.

I work Bylaw, and am learning some pretty interesting things about my fellow islanders.......living in a small community, whether it's an island or small town, definitely requires a different mindset. Sometimes I miss the anonymity of a city, and really enjoy wandering the streets of downtown Vancouver where I don't know anyone and nobody knows me!
