I thought I'd give you a bird's eye view of downtown Bay City, which in reality is pretty much all of Bay City. What looks like the Red Roof Inn is the Bay City General Store and Lodging. If you look to the right of the photo you will see my commute to work - we live on the hill. Traffic can be brutal at times. This is our little slice of paradise, us and about 18 other people. We've had a population explosion in the last 10 years - when we moved here there were only 9 people. Is this what they call urban sprawl? We absolutely love it here on the banks of the Ohio River but it is not for everyone. The closest gallon of milk is 12 miles away. People that come in the store ask me if I get bored living here in the middle of nowhere and I just have to laugh. There is always something going on around here whether it is watching for the eagles to come fishing in the river, waiting for the deer to make their daily trek through the backyard, listening to the piliated woodpecker searching for dinner, or dodging the hummingbirds as they swarm in for their sip of nectar. And the river - you never know what you might spy on the river - countless barges towing commodities up and down the river, snowbirds taking their yachts to the sunny climes of the Gulf of Mexico, the vagabonds with their canoes loaded down with supplies hoping to make it to New Orleans..........never a dull moment in Bay City.
Hope y'all will come see us this year!
