Willoughby Road Summer of Change

Willoughby Road is the type of place where you can sit on your front porch with your glass of tea and watch the moonlight reflect off of the lake in front. The tree frogs are singing and the cicadas are chirping sounding like they are carrying on a conversation amongst themselves. The cool night breeze blowing in from the lake, a person can't help but relax and reflect on this place and all of its beauty.

The town of Bixby is the small town like those that you see on Television shows. There are only 2000 people and the town is almost 200 years old. They have festivals, concerts, civil war reenactments, and beer and chili contests. The buildings in the town’s center are all brick and stone front with old charm and beauty. You know almost everyone. When anything happens of any importance everyone knows about it, but your neighbor would give you the shirt off of his back. It's just a laid back calm happy place to live. When you're here, your home.

My name is Caroline Willoughby, I love this place and I love what it represents. I’m just a normal girl from West Virginia but I had a story to tell about the summer after my dad died, so here it is.
