First Houston, then New Orleans and finally Denver, after having my second child, and foreseeing the housing market to be one of which I couldn't partake of, I came humbly back to Wink. Sure, there were plenty of other little small towns the kids and I could have chosen, but my parents still live here and I thought it'd be nice for the kids to reside near grandparents. <br /><br />I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Florida, I only moved to Wink my junior year in High School. The school and town I moved from wasn't small, in fact...Long Beach Mississippi made it into Life Magazine back in the 80s for one of the best strips for cruising!<br /><br />No, my children are very different from me at their age. They are a reflection somewhat of who I am today. I don't see Wink as limiting, sure there's not much here, but basically, living in Wink provides us an affordable lifestyle which then allows for the ability to have many experiences and exposure to other opportunities.Cheap Tricks and Costly Truthshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280680459962415249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675937860871897402.post-38259805690390705152009-08-22T16:17:42.338-07:002009-08-22T16:17:42.338-07:00Life in small town Texas.

You've probably covered this before, but why did you return to a life that was once in your rear view mirror? Do you see in your children yourself, when you were their age? I went to google maps to see how far Wink is from Iraan and that's quite a little jump. If your momma reads this (I hope for you she does) she's gonna be upset w/ you for driving on unsafe tires. Be careful out in small town Texas and have a good weekend.twisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593091250403547793noreply@blogger.com
