Must be a western thing, Sara

We always measure distance in hours around here. The town we lived in for 20 years was 2-1/2 hours from the nearest stoplight until they installed one in the little town just over an hour away. We were still at least 2-1/2 hours from the nearest McDonald's, no matter which direction you went. When we moved to a town that was only an hour and a half from the big city, we thought we weren't even isolated any more!

When people ask how long it takes to get to the town (population 100) where our cabin is, we tell them that it's three hours in the summer and up to five hours in the winter, depending on whether the main road is open or not.

Glad to hear that your kids and grandkids are doing so well. Living out in the boonies can be very beneficial for kids these days.
