Greene County often gets a bad rap. There are moments it deserves it, but who doesn't? All too often new comers are quick to judge and see only the negative. I was one of those new comers.
Fifteen years ago I wandered into Greene County thinking I had wandered through a time portal. "Little House on the Prairie does exist!" I would proclaim. But I have come to love it here. As so many of the teens were fleeing, I was sinking down roots deeper. Why? Because this is where I choose to make my home.
God brought me here, my husband was raised here, but it is love that keeps me here. We have traveled much and found more beautiful places, more cultured places, more exciting places. But we keep coming back to the family and friends we have here.
I have come to embrace and even appreciate the differences from where I grew up. The uniqueness of the culture and people. I admit there are some things I will never get used to, like macaroni in my chili, but I have found myself becoming more and more Greene. ;)
