It’s the kind of dessert your grandmother made when the family all came over for dinner. I’m not sure what this has to do with a Strawberry Blueberry Hibiscus Crumble, except that this is the kind of dessert that has been popular for over 100 years. It just all depends on what you call life. Maybe more than what I had just outside a major city. I’ve found there’s a lot of life here to have. We may be a little short on amenities, but we're long on essentials. This is where you come to get away from the noise of life. We all entertain more in our homes, curled up on sofas with our shoes kicked off and share our lives for hours, and the outdoor activity options are nearly unlimited, which supports a healthy lifestyle. The cultural life is mostly limited to summer options (which means July and August), which are highly anticipated by everyone, local sports means the high school, and although we have a few dress shops, I have to drive down the mountain to Reno to buy underwear.īut I also rarely go somewhere here without running into someone I know, and we stop to visit for a bit. ![]() Most of the car washes are DIY open bays where you park the car, get out to put coins in a machine, and then spray the car with a mixture of water and soap before heading over to the tall, oversized vacuums.

Familiar faces manned the cash registers and worn counters, and I spied some fresh fava beans to bring back with me. I strolled through town, peering in shop windows at the new spring fashions, and wandered into the local grocery store where I’d shopped for years. ![]() The weather was glorious, the trees well into leafing, and flowers popping up everywhere with flashes of yellow, lilac, pink, and white. It was a quick overnight trip, and I was curious how it would feel to be back as a visitor in a place that part of me still calls home.
