Country Life

This evening, we decided to take a walk around Cat Spring. Thunderstorms surrounded the area blocking out the sun, so the temperature was absolutely perfect. We started our jaunt intending to burn some calories and let the girls work off some excess energy.

We made it half way through our first lap around the town when we were met by some of our neighbors. "Come on and sit down and have some kolaches," they said to us.

There was no way we could turn down the offer. We headed to the couple's back yard, sat down, and enjoyed home made kolaches and lemonade. The girls played with a remote controlled car and noisemakers. They also got to go and see the couple's chickens at the chicken coup.

It really was an enjoyable evening; although we could have stood to burn more calories.

On our way back home, I turned to Dawna and said, "This is one of the reasons I moved us out into the country. Where else do you get invited in to spend the evening like that at the spur of the moment?"

Sometimes I think I'm living in Mayberry, and you know what? That's not such a bad thing at all.
