My husband and I moved to the tiny town of Schulenburg, Texas in 1994. At the time, I was working in sales for a showroom out of the Dallas Trade Mart. My husband was working as a sales manager for a lawn and garden distributor with a branch at this central Texas location. When we first arrived, I told Jeff I didn’t think I could live there. The grocery store closed at 7:00 pm on weekdays and 5:00 pm on Sundays! There were only a handful of places to eat with two of them being fast food because Schulenburg sits on a major highway. Because Jeff’s job was a great opportunity and mine was so flexible, we decided to stick it out. Thank goodness we did!
