Memphis, MO - Population...2,061

I have decided that, while small town living does take some getting used to, I am quite fond of it. I will give you a for instance. Today while making our bed I discovered that one of our beloved kittens (not sure which, but I have a hunch) apparently used our beautiful comforter to (gulp) mark her territory! I immediately went to shove it in the washing machine only to find out that our washer does not quite hold a queen size fluffy blanket, not even a little. This is where the living in a small town came in handy. After calling my dear friend Ruth, who I have learned really does know best, I called the Real Estate office on the square. A Real Estate office you ask? Well yes, because it also doubles as a dry cleaner!?! It technically was not open for business until Monday but after explaining my predicament (cat pee + comforter = not a happy hubby) she said she'd gladly take it home and wash it there for me. And, as I type this post, it is air drying on her stair banister. Small town living, funny eh?
