Thank you Ever! What a lovely message to read first thing on my moving day!
I can't wait to get on with the final part of the move. Get settled. Join clubs (or form them) and make new friends. A sense of community. I've already noticed that everyone says hello. Everyone is friendly. It's a small town!
Josh just fixed up my bike for Spring and bought me a wicker basket. My daughter keeps teasing me - like I'm going to be Angela Lansbury or something. But I can easily bike to everything - for groceries, wine, pharmacy, hardware or just ice cream. It is only 2 blocks to the little gym they set up and the library!
I have always lived in Suberbia. I drive several times a day although my city is midsized. Still - this is refreshing!
My new little town is very busy in summer. Biking there will be nicer than trying to find a place to park on holiday weekends.
