I was so excited that they could go and see where pumpkins actually come from (What? Not Safeway!). So when we got there I noticed the hand painted sign that read "You Pay By The Honor System Here" along with a scale, calculator and a coffee can. That's right folks, you go pick your pumpkin, weigh it, do the math and put your money in the can. Carson was a little confused, where was the man, the cash register and the machine where you swipe your card? Ah! Small town life I just love it sometimes! It was a good chance to talk to Carson about being honest and choosing to do the right thing even when nobody is watching.  I know not all businesses can be run this way, but it was refreshing to know that someone had faith that people would be honest. It made me want to do the right thing.</font></p> <p align="center"><img height="308" alt="" width="410" src="/blog/images/carsonoliver_com/blog/blog4.jpg" /></p><img src="http://carsonoliver.com/blog/aggbug/4.aspx" width="1" height="1" /> Kati Oliver http://carsonoliver.com/blog/archive/2008/02/25/10282007---why-i-love-our-small-town.aspx Tue, 26 Feb 2008 04:55:35 GMT http://carsonoliver.com/blog/comments/4.aspx http://carsonoliver.com/blog/archive/2008/02/25/10282007---why-i-love-our-small-town.aspx#feedback http://carsonoliver.com/blog/comments/commentRss/4.aspx http://carsonoliver.com/blog/archive/2008/02/25/we-caved-in-and-started-a-blog.aspx <p><font color="#a52a2a"><font size="3">I knew we were the last to start a blog when my brother Steve set one up for his puppy Yoda. You'd think with Nick in the "computer business" we'd have done this already. . . Alas here it is our first attempt to maintain communication with friends and family while we shamelessly gush about our two boys Carson and Spencer.</font> </font></p>                                  <img height="308" alt="" width="410" src="/blog/images/carsonoliver_com/blog/blog5.jpg" /><img src="http://carsonoliver.com/blog/aggbug/3.aspx" width="1" height="1" /> Kati Oliver http://carsonoliver.com/blog/archive/2008/02/25/we-caved-in-and-started-a-blog.aspx Tue, 26 Feb 2008 04:34:59 GMT http://carsonoliver.com/blog/comments/3.aspx http://carsonoliver.com/blog/archive/2008/02/25/we-caved-in-and-started-a-blog.aspx#feedback http://carsonoliver.com/blog/comments/commentRss/3.aspx
