small town city

The Austin I live in is a small town.  Located within three miles are our doctors and dentists,
church, four grocery stores,
a toy store,   
    record store,
         comic book store,
                feed store,
                    our garden,
                book store,
            pet store,
       our library,
our favorite restaurant and two parks with pools.

Six miles away is a children's hospital,
children's museum,
friends,
another grocery store,
two more parks,
a duck pond,
another book store,
rock store,
awesome Asian markets,
the best pho .........
and Snow Monster.

This evening, we spent an hour looking at lizards, snakes, birds, a sloth, bunnies and a miniature pig. Another hour was spent just looking at accoutrements for pet bunnies. She went item by item asking,"Did you get this for your hamster? Did you get this for your bunny?" She then said she wanted a bunny and a hamster and chickens and a pig, "I want lots of pets like you had, Mommy!" That is something we cannot have in Austin.

No papaya tree of our very own, no hammock under a tree, no yard of our own, no bee hives.
