As many of you know, my parents are moving this summer from Vincennes, Indiana (a small town in southern Indiana) to Carmel, Indiana (a suburb of Indianapolis). I was visiting them this past weekend and we went to a party with many people from the community.

We were all on the dancefloor dancing, and someone grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. He said, "I am really going to miss your parents after they move. But most of all, this community is going to miss your parents. Very few have the kind of "give back to the community" and "buy local" attitude that your parents have. They've always tried to support local businesses, and we all appreciate that."

I thought that was one of the nicest compliments I've ever heard.
