I write from Massachusetts. Kind of country living with 1 1/2 acre per house lot. For shopping we have to go to surrounding towns.
I came from the Netherlands 43 years ago. I am a American citizen. My 2 children grew up in this town and of course left it when they went to college. Too boring here.
BUT how things can change, now they have children of their own they came back, because they remembered the happy youth they had.
