Little Fish in A Big Pond

Last winter, in Maine, when we bought our 12 seater van, friends commented on our new BIG VAN. They were right. It is big. Our community in Maine is mostly land of mini-vans for families. There are two notable exceptions--families who have 6 and 7 children and have 15 seater vans. But they don't go to our church. So aside from the occasional suburban, we really had a BIG VAN.

Then we moved to Oregon. To an orthodox Catholic Parish. Where people said things like "Only 5? How sweet!" Now we have the small van.
