Welcome to The Little Town with a Big Heart”
Inspiration for the Week: A friend who’s always there: –Author Unknown. If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you , and share with you its beauty, on the days you’re feeling blue. If I could build a mountain, you could call your very own A place to find serenity, a place to be alone, if I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I’m finding, are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain or catch a rainbow fair, but let me be what I know best – A friend who’s always there.
