Hey, what’s wrong with salmon patties? I loved those things while growing up!

My wife and I are raising our two daughters in a small Indiana town with a population of about 1,500. Best place ever for kids because everyone watches out for everyone else.

My wife grew up in Grand Rapids, Mich., and returns several times a year to visit family, but she now hates the traffic, the stop lights, and the pollution.

There is a lot to be said for living in a town where the kids can walk to school, walk to the library, walk to friend’s house, and play outside without fear.

Life is good here.
