8 Weeks in Fayetteville

Posted on the 18 August 2011 by Simplybrookes
we've been here in fayettevillejust shy of 8 week.  
now i understand it's nowashington dcor my beloved san diego.
but here is my top 5  reasons whymy little fayettie is carving out quite the place in my heart.
1.  when i take my daily morningjaunt around the hoodat o'dark thirty in the morn.each and every single driver who passes mealso gives me a morning wave.can you say southern hospitality?love a morning waver...love.
2.  the brand spanking new libraryjust down the street.oh how i love thee
and your brand new smell
3.  the lovelyfreshorganicproduce stand on the way to the library.

who doesn't love locally grown produce?

not to mentionpaying it forward to a local homegrown business.
3.  my little fayettie isteaching the heathen west coast familysome old fashioned manners.my girls are quickly learning that a good old fashioned"yes, ma'am" and "yes, sir"is a good thing around here.even momma is learning.
4.  we live in the absolute best"stomp-the-sewer" neighborhood of all time.plenty of:kidscul de sacsunfenced back yards
with just enough humidity to makeit some good sweaty fun.

gates fourkids unite!
5.  my front porch 
and back deck
 
perfect to reflect on how lucky i amto have been given this opportunity.   after completing this little list,i realize the things that fill meare the simplest thingsin life: a welcoming, warm environmnet, a good book,fresh food,the sounds of my kids enjoying the momentand a spot to enjoy it all.
God is good.
