We have lived in our new home for a month now, and I can't believe how much it feels like home! For a girl who's moved lots of times, that's a significant and a little bit unusual feeling. I like it!
Neighbours are just great - we even got a "welcome to the neighbourhood" plant. And Jeff's been invited to wow some guitar-playing kids across the street.
We got the North End Breeze delivered to our door yesterday. It's the community newspaper. And not one of those so-called community newspapers that is put out by the big newspapers. It's an actual community paper, written by the community (as far as I can tell) for the community. It's like a little cottage country publication - I love it!
I'm discovering how many ways you can really become part of this neighbourhood. Tons of volunteer opportunities...a gardening club...a reading group....and there's fair-trade coffee somewhere (I'll have to track that down). Maybe I can write something for the North End Breeze! You know - through a newcomer's eyes.
Plus, I personally can't wait for Halloween. Remember last year? Soooo disappointing ... I set myself up on the porch, all surrounded by candy ... no kids.
I hope there will be kids here! Because we have an AWESOME front porch!
Hey, do you like where you live? Do you like your neighbours? What's your best (or worst, that's fun too) neighbourhood story?
