BL Days --- Village Celebration

Today is the day when the little village I live and teach in celebrates its identity. There is a craft show, an antique car show, music, and a parade. There will be no fireworks this year as new safety regulations make it nearly impossible to do on our lake. I am looking forward to seeing students, former students, colleagues, parents and others I have come to know in the five years I have been here. I am very fortunate to have found a place to work where I feel so at home. It's a good weekend event before I complete the summer institute.

Living in a small town is very pleasurable. I talked to lots of people and got several hugs. Not the same as a bigger place (or maybe I am what is different). Either way, I am glad I moved here five years ago. It was a great move for me.
