The other evening I was strolling about town picking up a few more odds and ends for Christmas...you know my car pool buddy, Alia...Mary, my 'what would I do without my hairdresser Mary'.....
I like to pride myself in doing all of my shopping (OK, as much as possible) in my town...so I opened the door to Calico's and Collectibles. I have been a long time patron of Traceys's shop. However, on this particular evening, she didn't have exactly what I wanted in the way of candles. Much to my delight she substituted something equally wonderful at a 10 per cent discount...
Ahh...life in a small town.
Lou Ann Homan-Saylor lives in Angola, Indiana which is nestled in the hills of Northern Indiana. When she is home at the White Picket Gardens you can find her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp. She is a storyteller, a teacher, a writer, an actress and a collector of front porch stories.
