Things We Will Miss - Part 1 - Commerce

This is Part 1 of a 5 part series about things we will miss when we move. Feel free to skip it, it is mostly written for our own remembrances.


1. The local library. It is small enough that the librarians know our children each by name, and sometimes when we go we are the only ones there, but big enough to have any book you could ever want, a fantastic storytime storyteller and a children's floor fully loaded with all the Thomas tables, lego tables, puppets, etc. that you could ever want. We have loved going there at least weekly, more frequently in the winter.













2. The Dutch Oven Bakery, here in town. It is the kind of place where you hear things like, "we'll just put it on your tab", or if the debit card machine isn't working, "don't worry about it, you can just pay it next time." There are always a group of old men or women there on Saturday mornings when we go. The small town feel is only part of why we love it. The other part is the cream cheese Danishes. Yes. Oh my goodness, awesome. KC goes for the pudding filled Long Johns, the girls like the apple fritters and chocolate donuts.











3. The fast food joint, Culver's. I'm not really a hamburger kind of girl, but I do love this place. Especially the frozen custard. Butter burgers are pretty good too. I guess we'll have In-n-out, but we went there and I didn't really get the hullaballoo. Shocking, I know.




4. And lastly for today, we will miss the local movie theatre. It's $3.00 per person, new movie every week (not old movies), and always family friendly (most of their business is the youth). The scary story about someone hanging themself inside it was slightly intruiging, but mostly just creepy. The perfect recipe for a hometown theatre.

Oh my gosh! I miss Boone so bad. The bakery . . . the movie theater . . . CULVERS!!! I would give anything for a bagel from the bakery and the frozen custard from Culvers right now. I'm so bumbed. I wish Boon was in the west so we could be close to family and still live there.
