My Life in Mayberry

My new home feels very much like Mayberry. I LOVE IT!! I have discovered that I'm not a country girl at all! I'm a small town kind of gal, and proud of it!

There is only one minor inconvenience. I do not have a mail box at my new home (the post office doesn't deliver to my street at all). It's all good though, because I only live a block from the post office.

And the walk is rather nice.

When you leave my driveway you take a right.



Looking on the left hand side of the road you see the orthodontist's office. The side of it anyway. The people here seem very friendly. Which will come in handy if ever one of my kids needs their services.



We've arrived at the corner of Main and Mill St. We'll take a right, thankyouverymuch.



Here's the feed and seed. I'll be able to walk to get bunny food ;-) .



Mail? Really? I didn't even know anyone had our address yet. Mostly we've just received junk mail so far.



Leaving the post office.



I love my small town. I'll be taking more pics and blogging about it soon.

This week I was a Bear

A Bear Scout that is. My daughter and I rotate which cub scout we are with so we can stay on top of each den. She has been my right hand while my husband is OTR.

So as a Bear Scout we learned about healthy foods. It was fun! And man can those bears eat!









Here they are going to make trail mix. They learned what to pack and why. Did you know you should not put marshmallows in trail mix? I didn't.



Here they are trying different fruit. Joshua really liked the nectarines.

Fireman's Day Parade

Our firemen are all volunteer so they have an annual parade to raise money. Our Boy Scout Troop was invited to throw candy in the parade.



I was taking pictures so Kelsea was left holding the bags. Don't worry, she'll get over it soon.



Here she is trying to convince Ishmael it's his job to hold his own bag of candy. I don't think he bought it though.





This was just too cute!!!



I didn't know we had a Fire Queen...



Leon would have LOVED this part.



He would have loved the marching band too. He likes the drums.




Anyone with a bag of candy to throw, marched in this parade.



In fact you didn't even have to have any candy.





Lovely...



I liked this one. I want to visit their little store soon.



Here come the boys!!!



Jeremiah threw candy like nobody's business.







My fans came out to meet me as I marched in this parade.



This is what Boy Scouts look like when they've eaten about as much candy as they've thrown.





And my little buddy Joey assured me, he doesn't like candy AT ALL.



We all had a GREAT time!!! I'm looking forward to the next parade in November.
