You like them better than oceans and you miss their presence when you aren't around them.
2. And you love rivers and lakes, too.
Ken Thomas
For their beauty and how fun they are to play in.
3. You love small-town life.
Big cities with their noise and traffic and fast pace never appealed much to you. You don’t mind that you know nearly everyone in town and they know you. You like the slow pace of life in a small town.
4. After a road trip out of state, you pass the Capitol on the interstate and know that you're home.
And you're happy to be back.
5. You know the best kinds of vegetables are homegrown.
Maybe you grow them yourself or buy them off someone who does.
6. You know how to drive in the winter.
